Paper crafts Christmas tree for the new year. How to make a Christmas tree from threads with your own hands at home: a master class in stages. How to make a Christmas tree with your own hands at home from threads - photo by master class

Good afternoon, today I am unloading the most large selection Christmas trees made from paper. Here you will see the most interesting models - there will be Christmas trees from crepe paper, from napkins, from cardboard, you will learn how to make a Christmas tree from a paper cassette from eggs, from rolls from toilet paper and little bags folded from book pages. In this selection of master classes we will only consider paper options the most beautiful do-it-yourself Christmas trees - both flat models and three-dimensional designs. Here ideal options for crafts for the New Year's school competition.

So let's get started.

Idea #1

Beautiful Christmas tree FROM PAPER FANS.

Such voluminous Christmas tree Even children will enjoy doing it. The principle of addition is very simple - you must first make fan circles of different sizes. And then these mugs are strung on the SAME ROD BASE (which we used in the previous Christmas tree). Or you can do it without a rod - just stick the tiers on top of each other (dropping a drop of glue in the middle of each "floor" of the Christmas tree.

Below we see the principle of creating such fans. They are made from long strip paper. The strip folds into an accordion. We turn the accordion into a ring (fastened at the edges with glue). After the glue has dried sew one side of the accordion ring with a needle and thread- tighten the thread (very carefully so as not to break through the paper) - and at the same time lay the accordion ring in a flat circle. We press on the middle of the resulting circle with some object - thereby we crush the convex ribs of the accordion so that they wrinkle and become a little flatter.

Different sizes of herringbone tiers are achieved simple principle - the narrower the strip for the accordion we have, the smaller the circumference of the fan resulting from it will be. Below in the photo you can see a detailed master class on creating such a Christmas tree out of paper.

That's so beautiful christmas tree comes from bright paper napkins or from sheets of gift paper.

And if we put a BEAD between each tier of a fan Christmas tree made of paper, then we will get air, the space between the tiers of the Christmas tree (as it is done in the photo paper christmas tree below).

Idea #2

Christmas tree-box FROM PAPER.

But this method is the most convenient for beginners. Convenient in that here a simple drawing guarantees a 100% result in the form of a neat volumetric Christmas tree made of paper. Moreover, this Christmas tree can be used as a package for small gifts, if you hide jewelry or a perfume bottle inside.

Since the layout of the drawing above requires a large square piece paper - I give a more economical way to spend paper space (template diagram in the photo below). You can cut the blades of the Christmas tree separately in two pieces. And then fold, glue them cross to cross.

Idea #3

BLADED Christmas tree made of cardboard.

And here is a paddle Christmas tree made of cardboard or thick paper. It's also very easy to make your own. To create such a Christmas tree, you can use the usual packaging corrugated cardboard(as in the photo below).

How many blades-wings can such a Christmas tree made of cardboard have.

You can make a four-bladed Christmas tree - if you criss-cross two flat parts. To do this, in each silhouette of the Christmas tree, you need to make a cut along the central center line to the center of the Christmas tree. On one part, the incision is made on the TOP HALF of the silhouette - on the second part, the incision is located on the LOWER HALF of the silhouette.

I found such a stencil of a Christmas tree made of paper, but you can take any other shape of a Christmas tree with any lines of legs (smooth, rounded, twisted up, etc.).

If desired, such a Christmas tree cross can be placed on the base in the form of a cardboard roll (a saw cut from a toilet paper roll is suitable). On such a roll, we make 4 cuts (south, west, north, east) - and insert each of the four blades of our Christmas tree into these cuts.

But the blades of the Christmas tree can be more than four - FOR EXAMPLE you can make two silhouettes - 2 with a notch at the bottom and 2 with a notch at the top.

And then combine them into such a Christmas tree with the photo below - it will have as many as 8 blades(as in the photo below). Each blade can be glued different shade green colored paper. Can be used as decoration paper gift paper polka dots, diamonds, flowers (as in the photo below)

Using a similar paddle technique, you can make beautiful balls-toys for such a Christmas tree - also from paper.

Idea #4

Christmas tree from paper circles.

And here is another idea for a voluminous Christmas tree made of paper. We make this Christmas tree from ordinary flat paper circles. We fold each circle repeatedly along the DIAMETER LINES. We align each fold edge with alternation - one up, one down, one up, one down, and so on. Detailed master class in the photo below.

You can improve this tree model if, in addition to everything, you bend half of every second such rib upwards - as if forming ladle shape(how it's done in the photo of a Christmas tree made of paper below). And in each such bent ladle-foot he will put a bright bead. And we will get an already decorated Christmas tree made of paper with a beautiful three-dimensional shape.

Idea #5

Flat herringbone IN ORIGAMI TECHNIQUE.

And here is another simple one example of origami technique to create a modular paper Christmas tree.

Here we simply add square napkin paper modules(the napkin folds 2 times along the floors, and then unfolds and folds again 2 times in half but already DIAGONALLY.

Then we lay the napkin back and bend it along the lines formed so that each corner of the diagonal fold is like a separate blade.

From several of these bladed modules-tiers, we fold the Christmas tree - simply by gluing it onto a flat base. Often such an origami paper tree can be seen as an application for a New Year's card.

Idea #6

Christmas tree made of PAPER,

strung ON THE ROD.

If we have a rod that we made to stand exactly vertically and not fall, then by stringing a variety of paper silhouettes on it, we can get a Christmas tree craft.

The main rule to follow is to make sure that the bottom paper silhouettes are larger than the top ones. That is, so that the size of the parts decreases as you move up to the top of the tree.

The most important thing is to MAKE A ROD. How to quickly and easily make an axis-base from a cocktail tube, so that it turns out to be strong and inflexible.

But what herringbone (pictured below), which is made of STRIPS of felt, but it can also be made from strips of colored paper or cardboard).

Everything is also very simple. MATERIAL: cut stripes the colors we need, we take tube for cocktail(it is better to insert 2 turbos one into one to make it longer), cardboard(for the base circle), hole punch and stapler(either glue or thread with a needle. Now I will tell you in detail how we will make such a Christmas tree at home - with our own hands.

STEP ONE. We are preparing the base-rod for the Christmas tree-crafts.

And cut out 2 identical disc circles from cardboard. Leave one cardboard disc intact. And in the middle of the second disk we make a round hole (we punch it with a nail and expand it so that the tube from the cocktail crawls through). Wrapped in a cardboard disc cut the tube with scissors from the bottom side(vertical cuts of 1 cm each - chik-chik - how we cut straws for inflation soap bubbles). We push these cuts apart like rays of the sun. And we get such a "beam-like spread-leg". We put this spreading leg on the second cardboard disk (the one that remained intact, without a hole).

And now BOTH DISC GLUE - and it turns out that the spreading leg is now with its rays, sandwiched-glued between the cardboard discs - and as a result our cocktail tube stands EXACTLY VERTICALLY STRAIGHT.

STEP TWO. We string material for the “feathering” of the Christmas tree on the rod.

We cut the tape (fabric or paper or felt) into strips. Please note that the strips are not the same length. Each pair of strips is 1-2 cm smaller than the previous pair. In the center (middle) of the strips, we make holes with a hole punch (or cut with a nail or scissors). We string the strips onto a tube-rod - first long ones, then shorter ones and at the end the shortest ones.

And now we glue the strung strips (or sew them together with threads, or fasten them with a stapler) in pairs with an order such that we get an ACCORDING-ZIGZAG (as seen in the photo). We attach a star to the top of the tube - we also cut out two silhouettes of the star (front and back) - so that the top of the rod is hidden between the two sides of the star.

Idea #7

TIERED Christmas tree

from paper or cardboard.

And here is a nice voluminous Christmas tree made of cardboard. Here we also stocked up with paper circles of different sizes. The edge of the circles was made wavy. Then each circle was cut along the radius - and turned into a cone. And the cones were strung on a rod.

How exactly to string the cones on the rod so that there is air between them (and so that they do not fold like little bags into a friend) I will show using the example of white lacy Christmas trees made of paper, which we see in the photo below.

We will need a rod (wooden skewers will do). Large beads and paper lace napkins.

To out round napkins we get cones, we make a radial incision. We cut along the radius of the circle from the CENTRAL point to the edge.

Beads between the cones will not let them run into each other. And our Christmas tree will be airy.

You can make cone Christmas trees from spare pieces of wallpaper.

You can use sheets of colored office paper.

Idea #8

Crepe paper tree.

Here is another beautiful children's paper tree. Here we need a BASIS for a Christmas tree in the form of a high paper CONE. We cut out a semicircle from paper - and fold it into a bag of consu.

Crepe paper cut for long wide ribbons . Then along the paper tape we make incisions-fringe. Next, we wrap our paper conse with this fringed paper tape - starting from the bottom and gradually spiraling, turn by turn, moving towards the top. Each notched twist the petal into a curl.

Such a Christmas tree craft is suitable for school or the Skillful Hands circle in kindergarten.

Idea #9

Crepe paper tree.

And here is a convex Christmas tree from a paper cassette from eggs. Cut out the cells of the cassette holder in the fork of the triangle. We paint them in green color gouache. Spray with nail polish (so that the gouache does not stain your hands and the color becomes brighter). And on each bottom of the cassette cell we glue a circle of colored paper. From cardboard we cut out the silhouettes of a star different sizes and form a puff star.

Such a children's craft is convenient for conducting classes in school mug creativity.

Idea #10

Volumetric Christmas tree from the CONE

(6 ways to decorate)

And here is another Christmas tree made on the basis of a high cardboard cone. We buy whatman paper (a large sheet of paper) - cut out a semicircle - bend it into a cone from a semicircle.

Here the main monotony of labor is in cutting circles of many hundreds. And then there is a gradual pasting with these circles in the form of scales - starting from the lower rows of the cone and gradually moving up to the top of the Christmas tree-cone. Children who often toil about waiting new year holidays they will be happy to be distracted by such a New Year's children's tree craft. And this is to your advantage, no one will wander around the kitchen and interfere with your cooking New Year's table.

Such a Christmas tree cone can be placed on a long stem. And put the rod on a plasticine pedestal. From plasticine we make a thick round cake. We bury the base of the rod in plasticine. We decorate the plasticine sole with cardboard and pieces of moss or other natural material(bark, shelled cone scales, etc.).

Pasting the Christmas tree-cone can be carried out loops from strips of paper. Or if you are too lazy to cut paper, you can buy a long roll of textile tape, cut it into segments, bend each segment into a loop and glue it on cardboard cone- also in rows from bottom to top.

Can do from fabric (or from paper) triangular folds. Fold the square diagonally in half, and again in half. Layer the angles of the triangle on top of each other - so that the triangle curls up into a ladle. The barrel of the ladle will be glued to the cone-base of the Christmas tree.


As you understand, it is not necessary to use a fabric - you can take a regular colored paper, crumpled crepe paper or even newspaper (and then paint it with spray paint).

You can also use it to decorate the Christmas tree. paper cups for baking cupcakes. As it is done in the picture below. Such a children's craft will be real New Year's entertainment for your children. Simple and fast - and very beautiful.

Idea #11

Christmas tree with paper straw decor.

And here is another tree based on paper cone. Here, fine paper shavings are used as the material for gluing the cone. You can find these shavings in fragile goods shipping boxes. Or cut such straws with office paper scissors - make a voluminous pile of chips and decorate the Christmas tree on regular glue pva.

We also glue cones and Christmas balls on the cone - we put them on hot glue from a glue gun(sold in the construction departments of the store - it costs $ 5, the glue for it is very cheap in the form of rods).

The Christmas tree can be placed on a pedestal made of round log cuts. And crowned with a star. It is also not necessary to buy it - you can make such a star with your own hands from ordinary newsprint. How such a star is made, I told in the article

This is good too an option for a simple children's craft for the New Year. Because it's simple, easy and fast. Perfect for a 20 minute class in a circle skillful hands". The main thing is to prepare cones, straws and decorative material in advance.

Idea #12

Christmas tree

from paper rolls.

Here is the tree from paper rolls. From ordinary sheets of paper (even from office drafts), we roll rolls, fasten them to a stapler or glue (so that they do not unfold).

In the photo below, we see that an ordinary glass goblet (or a vase for jam) was used as a stand for such a voluminous rolled Christmas tree.

According to this principle, you can make a bright Christmas tree if the rolls are twisted from colored table napkins.

You can put a rolled Christmas tree on a long stick-leg and stick it in flower pot with earth.

Here below classic way creating such a Christmas tree from paper rolls-bags.

And here is a method where the bags are not glued to the base cone, but simply laid in radially circular rows.

Such paper bags can create a Christmas tree on any plane - on the wall or on the door to the office. A quick and easy way to do beautiful decoration office for the New Year. More more ideas New Year's decor for classrooms and office space I have collected in a special article


Idea #13

Christmas tree in the technique of QVILLING.

(4 ways from flat to voluminous)

And here are paper Christmas trees made using the QVILLING technique. They can be flat as in the photo below.

It's simple.

STEP1 - paper is cut into strips.

STEP 2 - Each strip is twisted around a quilling rod (or a simple toothpick).

STEP 3 - The twist fits into the circle-hole of the stencil - and inside this round frame of the hole we relax the twist (so that it unfolds slightly, but within the specified size).

STEP 4 - Next, we carefully remove the twist from the stencil and glue its tail (so that the twist does not unwind further, but retains the size specified by the stencil. So we get round twists of the same size.

STEP 5 - Then we take a round twist and with our fingers we set the FORM of the twist - it can be TEAR-SHAPED (as in the photo with the Christmas tree below). And from such twists we glue our Christmas tree from paper.

Such children's crafts can be offered in the classroom in the circle of school creativity. It can be done together with grandmothers and children for a competition in kindergarten.

The corners of the droplets can be slightly bent up (as in the photo of the Christmas tree below).

You can make Christmas trees using the quilling technique for any fantasy shape.

DOUBLE-LAYER Christmas tree in quilling technique.

But a Christmas tree made of paper in the same technique - where the quilling modules are not glued to a sheet of paper, but to themselves - that is, they stick together side by side. And such gluing of paper strands is stacked in two layers


Paper quilling tree - ON THE ROD.

Quilling twists can be placed on the rod. From cardboard we make a rod on the edges of which we will glue the twists. Here we see a striped Christmas tree, where the twist modules are attached to a central cardboard rod.

But the Christmas tree where the central rod made of cardboard has a hexagonal section - that is, this rod has 6 sides and 6 edges. On these flat sides we attach the base of the paper droplets. Please note that here the droplets are of different sizes - at the bottom there are large twists (made according to a large stencil-hole), and at the top there are smaller ones. We attach a rhinestone to the tip of each droplet.

You can glue the twist droplets with the sides down, as is done on the Christmas tree from the picture below.

A quilling twist can be placed around a round rod - and put the modules in a horizontal plane (as in the photo of the quilling paper Christmas tree below).

Fastening modules to a round rod will serve another flat piece of paper the same color. First wrap the paper around the rod on glue- we leave the tails sticking out on both sides of the rod - and strips between these ponytails we put our finished twist, and hug it, wrap it around with tails - gluing them to the twist. In order for such fasteners to hold betterwe repeat it with another strip of paper (and, if necessary, with another strip) - so our twist will ideally keep its horizontal plane.

Can do simple quilling a herringbone made of weak looped and curlicue twists made of cardboard or thick non-quilling paper (as is done in the photo below).

Paper quilling tree - ON THE BASIS OF A CONE.

You can glue the twist modules not on the rod, but on the classic cone base.

The cone can be round(as in the photo above). Or the cone may have rectangular section- that is, to have ribs and flat sides (as in the photo below). On such planes cone-pyramid It is convenient to apply any quilling patterns. And we will get a patterned 3d Christmas tree.

You can connect children to such a craft. They will happily wind up the modules. And then they will help you glue the pyramid-tree with them. A good children's Christmas craft.

Idea #14

Christmas tree craft from bushings

from toilet paper

And here is another idea for a Christmas tree made of paper. Here, rolls of cardboard and paper of different diameters are taken as material. You can use rolls of adhesive tape and masking tape, supplement them cardboard sleeves from toilet paper (shortening them to the height of tape rolls), you can use narrow tubes from office fax paper (also cut into pieces short length). Screw homemade rolls of cardboard.

And from such a prefabricated material, fold-glue a Christmas tree. Rolls can be glued to each other with a glue gun, or with double-sided tape. simple craft in which the children will be happy to participate.

Only toilet paper rolls of the same size can be used. And fold them into a Christmas tree in the form of a pyramid. Pre-paint the rolls green, dry, glue. So that the gouache paint does not stick to your hands and does not dye clothes, the dyed and dried rolls need to be sprayed with hairspray - the paint will fix and the color will become brighter.

Inside each roll we put a Christmas ball (you can just put it or you can hang it by a hole in the roll) - instead of a ball put a large candy in a shiny wrapper. You can decorate the side of such a Christmas tree made of paper rudons with New Year's glass beads.

If you start collecting rolls in advance and involve all the staff of your company, then you can make a very tall large Christmas tree to decorate the office.

And here is another way to design a Christmas tree from paper rolls. There is a more economical consumption of material, since the herringbone empty inside. Just made from rolls rings– (rolls just stick together in a round dance with their sides. And then such round dance rings from rolls are placed on top of each other and Christmas tree balls are put into their sockets. Pre-paint the rolls in the desired color.

These are the ideas for a do-it-yourself paper Christmas tree I have collected today in this article. Now you can choose simple and beautiful way make a tree for yourself. good luck to you New Year's creativity And beautiful Christmas trees. May everything work out now and in your New Year.

New Year's DIY Christmas tree. Tiny sesal tree.
How to make such a craft is shown in the photo. For crafts, you need the following: sisal cloth, wooden skewer, bottle cap, coin, piece of natural fiber fabric, glue and beads.

The tree stump will be made from cork.
We cut the cork from the bottle in half, glue a coin at the bottom for stability.
In the center of the upper part we make a small hole for the barrel.




The trunk will be from a wooden skewer (any length to your taste - break off the desired size) We make the trunk. The skewer must be strengthened in a cork by 1 cm and glued with glue.


We decorate our stump. On a piece of fabric, draw a circle with a compass, the radius of which is equal to: the diameter of the hemp + its height + 1 cm per assembly. We cut out the circle. We collect the edge of the fabric with a “forward needle” seam, stepping back from the edge of 0.5 cm. Leave the ends of the threads on front side fabrics. We put the trunk in the middle of the circle and tighten the thread around the trunk, tie a bow. Beads can be put on the ends of the threads.



We form a crown. Sisal fabric we cut into strips of different widths, depending on how “fluffy” the Christmas tree we want to make. We cut each strip into equilateral triangles and lay them out in size.




Everything is ready to make our craft. We put triangles on a skewer, starting with the smallest. For the Christmas tree to be fluffy, the paws (corners of the triangle) should be directed towards different sides, arbitrarily.


Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a bead and all the leaves too. To keep the beads, they are glued with glue.

The craft is ready! Let her make you happy on New Year's Eve.

If you decide to present an unusual hand-made souvenir to your friends, test your own creative possibilities, or just have a good time with your child, then stock up on materials and start the master class: how to make a Christmas tree out of cardboard with your own hands.

We select materials for a cardboard Christmas tree

To begin with, it is worth deciding how we will use our paper Christmas tree. We propose to create a decoration for holiday table. This souvenir will be nice to put at work, as a reminder of happy holidays, your children will be able to please grandparents with a similar gift. To hang a tree, you only need to attach a neat loop to its top. If you decide to make a bigger Christmas tree, for example, 30 centimeters, then it will look appropriate on a windowsill or mantelpiece.

So, we need:

  • Printed image of a Christmas tree
  • Cardboard
  • Double sided tape
  • Decoration materials

The choice of cardboard color is influenced only by your imagination and the stylistic decision of home decor. Great option- use white paper which children can color with gouache.

The stencil can also be different. A more complex figure is a Christmas tree with clearly traced branches, a simple and graphic one is an elongated equilateral triangle. Geometric spruce always looks unusual.

How to decorate the product is up to you. You can try to buy special glitter glue in the store and use it to draw holiday garlands. Stock up on glitter, tinsel, confetti, small buttons, etc. in advance.

We make a Christmas tree from cardboard with our own hands

The first step: find the image you like on the Internet and print it out, and then carefully cut it out.

Now you need to transfer the drawing to cardboard. There are a few tricks here. To begin, carefully bend paper sheet in half, attach a half of the stencil to the fold line and circle it. Now let's start cutting. We cut two parts of the sheet at once. This is done so that the base of the product comes out absolutely symmetrical. As a result, you should get exactly the same as the Christmas tree on the template, only with a fold in the middle. We need 3 of these blanks. Try making them colorful for a fun craft.

The next step will require attention and accuracy. We begin to form a tree from cardboard. To do this, unfold the first sheet and put it on the table. Glue a strip of double-sided tape along the entire length of the fold. Now it remains to attach the “back” of the second part to this adhesive tape and gently press it so that they stick together securely. We cut off another strip of tape and glue it between two parts, we plant the last blank on it. We remind you once again that the Christmas trees are connected only along the central part, the side surfaces do not need to be glued, otherwise the desired 3D effect will be lost. If you did everything right, then the cardboard Christmas tree stands steadily on a flat surface.

We proceed to the final, most pleasant stage, to decorating. If you are creating with your baby, then try taking colored duct tape and cutting it into small strips. The child will be happy to hang them on the Christmas tree. Such work is feasible even for the smallest, and the result will please everyone. An option for older children is jewelry made of beads, sequins or small buttons. They will need to be glued in any order on the branches. If the cardboard is very dense, then the buttons can even be sewn on. In this case, you will be able to bulk product country style.
