If you are lucky enough not only to walk through the coniferous forest, but also to bring a few cones from there, then make beautiful New Year's crafts out of them.
We make toys for the Christmas tree
From a cone, you can make not only a Christmas toy for a Christmas tree, but also the Christmas tree itself, as in the photo. To do this, paint it green and wait until it dries. Attach bows, beads and snowflakes, flowers cut from white lace to a miniature Christmas tree. Don't forget to make a stand for the Christmas tree.
If you show your imagination, you will be able to create creative crafts from cones in the form of squirrels, deer and birds, but you have to make them heads and legs, and the cones will serve as a torso.
If you just paint the bump or cover it with glue and sprinkle with sparkles, you get an unusual decoration, to which you just have to attach a loop.
Candlesticks made of natural material
The shining of festive lights raises your spirits, so on holidays you want to see them as often as possible. Do not limit yourself only to garlands, make New Year's candlesticks from cones, and they will add brightness and comfort to the interior.
The easiest option is to decorate ready-made candlesticks, decorating them in the spirit of the holiday with cones, twigs and Christmas decorations.
Interesting candlesticks can be made from glass jars if you put artificial snow (or ordinary salt) on the bottom. Glue a strip of lace to the top of the jar, tie a couple of cones sprinkled with “snow”.
Make candlesticks from flowerpots, as in the photo, decorating them with artificial needles. For decoration, use small Christmas toys, cinnamon sticks, beads and cones.
Wreaths on the door
Nowadays, Christmas wreaths are popular; making them is not difficult at all. The main thing is to prepare a reliable base in the form of a circle.
The base frame can be made from:
- wire;
- a flexible wire hanger for clothes;
- thick cardboard;
- buy a ready-made circle in a handicraft store.
Decor elements are attached to the base: cones, ribbons, bows, nuts, leaves, etc. To make the product look more impressive, some details can be covered with gilding, white paint imitating snow or sparkles.
Decor for table setting
Do not forget that not only the New Year tree should be elegant, but also the festive table. Let cute gnomes from cones hide between the plates or bright owls peep out. Make nice souvenirs for each party to the feast: glue bright feathers to the cone and write the name of the person to whom the cutlery is intended.
Each master class presented is interesting and undoubtedly deserves implementation.
