Stefania cut out a shape for the Christmas tree from felt, glued the finished petals (except for the first top row) and decorated the Christmas tree with beads (I only dripped hot glue).

Christmas tree decorations:

  • pasta - "bows";
  • acrylic paints;
  • pumpkin seeds;

The craft was made by my daughter, who is now 3 years and 1 month old. To make a Christmas tree, we need green plasticine, if it is not enough, you can mix blue and yellow.

Manufacturing process:

  1. We roll out the plasticine in the shape of a cone and divide it into parts;
  2. Roll out each piece into balls of different sizes. We form cakes from the balls, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest. We fashion “hats” from the cakes, like a mushroom. Using a children's fork or knife, we imitate needles and assemble a Christmas tree;
  3. We make a small stand from brown plasticine and put the Christmas tree on the stand;
  4. We decorate the Christmas tree: we sculpt multi-colored balls and snow from white plasticine in the form of a small ribbon and fix everything on the Christmas tree.

Manufacturing process:

  • cut out the contours of the same four Christmas trees;
  • fold them in half;
  • one side is smeared with glue and glued to the half of the other Christmas tree;
  • in the same way we connect all four parts.

It turns out a voluminous Christmas tree, which we decorate with circles of colored paper, sticking them on the craft.

5. Do-it-yourself snow-covered Christmas tree

My name is Irina Bredis, Roma's son (6 years and 5 months). We are from the Moscow region, Shchelkovo.

The Christmas tree was made for a craft contest in the kindergarten, the idea came in 1 evening and was met with a bang by my son! He enthusiastically got involved in the work and completed almost all of it in its entirety. Usually I try to choose such crafts that the child can do himself.

The piece was made as follows:

  • bought foam base in the form of a cone;
  • many snowflakes were cut out of colored foil paper with a figured hole punch;
  • first glued green snowflakes on a glue stick;
  • fixed colored snowflakes multicolored safety pins;
  • A star-shaped button was fastened to the top of the head.

That's all, the snow-covered Christmas tree is ready!

6. Craft "Christmas Tree" from a cone

I am Dasha Martynova, my daughter's name is Tasya, she is almost 3 years old. This year we decided to do the tasks of Santa Claus every day, which the snowman brings us. One of the tasks was to make a Christmas tree from a cone.

Manufacturing process:

  1. We make the base of the lid and plasticine;
  2. We paint a big cone, pour it with PVA glue and sprinkle confetti in the form of stars on top and artificial snow;
  3. Instead of a tip - a snowflake from Christmas tree beads.

Tasia did everything herself with my tips.

7. Craft "Christmas Tree" from cardboard and crepe paper

Hello! My name is Tatyana Globa and I work as an educator with children of 3-4 years old, I do arts and crafts with them. We made crafts for your Christmas tree contest.

For manufacturing we need:

  • cardboard;
  • crepe paper;
  • glue.

Manufacturing process:

  • cut out a circle from cardboard and divide it in half;
  • from one half we turn the cone - this is the base of the Christmas tree;
  • from crepe paper make a lot of lumps and glue them in a circle.

And we also made a Christmas tree from cones and decorated it with lumps of plasticine (but this is an addition, without a master class).
Author of the work: Grishutin Sergey, 4 years old. Krasnodar Territory, Korenovsk.

My name is Tatyana Stepankina, Moscow, and my daughter Varvara (4 years old) and I decided to participate in the competition.


We knead pancakes from green plasticine and string them on a toothpick, each time we take less and less plasticine. When all the tiers are ready, we decorate with beads, insert a bead in the form of a cone from above.

9. Elegant satin Christmas tree

When I received a letter with a task, I invited the family to participate. My son enthusiastically supported the idea, and, to my surprise, my husband also expressed a desire to take part in the process! Therefore, we did not put it off indefinitely and immediately set to work.

For the base, they found thick cardboard, wrapped it in a cone and glued it with a glue gun. Needless to say, the men did not trust me with this unit? A weapon is a truly masculine trophy, even if it is a glue one.

Then I found a large satin patch (about a meter), from which 5 × 5 squares were cut. While measuring, we fixed the knowledge of numbers up to 5 on the ruler. Next, we folded each square diagonally - we got a triangle. And twice more in half.

Attention, the most dangerous stage! With a lighter, lightly burn the edges so that they do not crumble.

Now the most interesting stage - we take a gun, apply a glue circle along the bottom of the cone and put our prepared needles on the glue, with beautiful spouts outward. At first, we tried to glue and stick each needle individually, but it was experimentally proven that it would be much easier to make 1 glue circle, and then sculpt on it.

When the landscaping of the tree was completed, it was time to collect stones - to find all the ownerless decorations that until now did not know about their purpose. Grandmother's torn beads, beautiful buttons, a piece of New Year's beads (cut individually), sequins from an old sweater were used.

Combining the colors, mom chose the right ones, and dad and Savushka determined their place for each “toy” (also with the help of a gun). We also put red “garland threads” on our Christmas tree (FixPrice, 47 rubles). The top was decorated with a red ribbon folded like a flower and grabbed in the center with a thread, which was covered with a bead.

Like this wonderful Christmas tree we live now! The son offered to bake cookies and hang a Christmas tree on "them and dad" ... But that's a completely different story.

Characters:

  1. son Savva (2 years 7 months), the most fearless and decisive of all;
  2. Lesha's dad, always ready to support his son in any Skoda and any undertaking;
  3. Sveta's mother, a loyal fan of the Club of Passionate Moms.

We are from Rostov-on-Don.

10. Advent calendar for dad and older sister

My name is Lyubov Vasilyeva and my youngest daughter Katyusha and I made it in the form of a Christmas tree for dad and for older sister.

Katya is not yet quite ready to complete the tasks, but it’s easy to prepare. The Christmas tree is decorated with plasticine balls and rhinestones, as well as task cards that Katyushka stringed on a thread.

11. Soft Christmas tree

My name is Elena Burenina and I am the mother of Kirill 2.8, Nizhny Novgorod region, Sarov. We made the Christmas tree from soft packaging for shoes and fragile things.

For convenience, I lined the packaging and Kirill cut it into strips. On a stand for flower pots we fixed a stick for sushi with plasticine and pricked soft strips. The top was also fixed with plasticine. Plasticine at the bottom was covered with synthetic winterizer - snow. My help to my son is minimal, I did almost everything myself.

12. Aroma - Christmas tree

My family and I created Aroma Christmas tree.
Artists:

We collect the tree. I give a ball of 1 block of plasticine. Daughter sticks skewers in it. Together we roll sausages from the 2nd block of plasticine and put them under the rim of the lid. I install the Christmas tree frame into the lid. Daughter paints skewers green. I insert green tinsel between the skewers, and also attach it to the plasticine from above and below. Dad puts baby puree lids on colorful tinsel. I fasten these "lid garlands" around the Christmas tree, since the wire inside makes it easy to do.

We decorate and flavor the Christmas tree. I put on - with the help of the same wire tinsel - cones on the Christmas tree. Daughter puts on toys made of dough. Together we stick cinnamon and star anise. I make a star out of 3 sticks of tinsel. Christmas tree-beauty is ready!

With a thermal gun, I glued beads, a star (also from dough), rain and decoration in the form of flowers on the spruce itself. Salt dough Christmas tree is ready!

14. Christmas tree - motanka

My name is Tatyana Vilyavina. We made the Christmas tree with our daughter Masha (4.5g). We are from Moscow and decided to make a Christmas tree out of fabric, inspired by Russians folk dolls.

To make such a Christmas tree you will need:

  • Any fabric for twisting-bases;
  • Two types of green fabric;
  • Multi-colored shreds;
  • Threads.

Manufacturing process:

  1. From any fabric we make a cone-shaped twist-base. For rigidity, you can put inside paper cone. We wind everything with threads;
  2. We cut out 4 squares from green fabric, the next one is several centimeters smaller than the other. In the middle of the green squares (except for the smallest one), we cut small holes;
  3. We put green squares on the cone, starting with the largest one, we wrap it with threads like a skirt;
  4. We cut multi-colored squares (for toys and the crown). We place a rag or cotton wool in their center, collect it in a “bundle” and wrap it with threads. We place one (red knot) on the top of the Christmas tree, straighten its tips and wrap it with threads. We wind the rest of the "toys" to the corners of the branches;
  5. We fix our tree. All is ready. You can play!

My name is Valentina Akimova, I'm from Moscow, I'm 28 years old, my daughter is 3 years old. 10 months We made this craft 2 years ago on assignment in the kindergarten.

I decided to make the Christmas tree mobile, for this, I wrapped tape and napkins on the base of a thin dry-cleaner's hanger to give stability, volume and stability to the Christmas tree. And the Christmas tree itself was sewn from my husband's old jeans. The sewing process was still too early for my daughter, but I attracted her to the decoration.

The Christmas tree was supposed to be summer. Therefore, I cut out two colors of butterflies from felt in advance, decorated them with beads, and my daughter glued them on double-sided tape. She was not enough for a long time, but it was important for me that the crafts in the garden were her handiwork. Minimum participation, of course, but the age at that time was quite small.

My name is Anastasia Zotova, I'm from Vladivostok. We made a Christmas tree with my son Grisha (3.5 years old).

Material - packaging from flowers (like interlining) green. Grisha loves to cut and glue, so we chose the option where scissors and glue are the main tools for creating a Christmas tree. The decorated Christmas tree was sprinkled with a "snowball" of crushed polystyrene.

17. Wall tree

My name is Galina Krivova and my daughter Katya, 5 years old, and I decided to take part in the competition of forest beauties. We are from Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk.

We have a Christmas tree made of wallpaper, decorated with my beads, Katya's hairpins, stickers, homemade flags.

Only the base was made by an adult. Katya did everything else, hung, hooked, glued herself. The Christmas tree was made in several stages and approaches, but each time it was interesting to watch how the daughter worked hard, invented and invented new decorations.

18. Three-sided Christmas tree

My name is Diana Gnilokozova and my son Egor, who is now 1.2 years old, and I want to participate in the competition. We live in Belarus, Borovka village, Lepel district, Vitebsk region.

We decided to make together Christmas tree. Since the child is small, and his participation is necessary, we have prepared a simple version of crafts where both mother and child can participate.

For our Christmas tree you will need:

  • cardboard;
  • 3 templates of any Christmas tree (you can find it on the Internet and choose the option that you like);
  • PVA glue;
  • scissors;
  • double sided tape;
  • gouache;
  • plasticine;
  • ribbons for decoration;
  • glitter nail polish.

The template is printed in triplicate. Glue the Christmas trees on cardboard and leave to dry. Cut out the templates neatly along the contour. On one side, paint with green gouache and leave to dry. On the other side of the templates, we glue double-sided tape, fold the templates in half and glue them together. It turns out a Christmas tree.

It may happen that the patterns do not match a little and some pieces of cardboard are larger - they just need to be cut with scissors. Next, proceed to the decoration: we sculpt small balls from plasticine different colors and glue to the Christmas tree - get christmas balls. We cover them with nail polish - so they will shine. Instead of tinsel, we added a beautiful ribbon to the Christmas tree, and instead of a star, we added a red bow. Our tree is ready!

19. Christmas trees made of chenille wire

My name is Vera Kogevina and my sons and I: Starukhin Artem, 6 years old and Starukhin Anton, 4 years old
Decided to participate in the Christmas tree contest. For several days in a row, children have been playing with great pleasure with chenille wire, twist, master something. I offered to make a Christmas tree and the boys accepted the offer with enthusiasm.

With the eldest son, we decided to make a “curly” Christmas tree. For the base, Artem twisted 3 wires together, then added a few more wires. I helped connect the base into a circle. Then he screwed more wires, leaving free ends. The result is a cone with pieces of wire sticking out. Artyom twisted these ends into a spiral. I helped distribute the curls evenly to make it look like a Christmas tree. The work took 2 days.

It was easier with Antoshka. Twisted the trunk of two wires. And they wound pieces of wire on it, different in size. Then Artem suggested decorating the Christmas tree with beads.

20. Craft "Yolka" from postcards

I, Olga Nefyodova, am the mother of three-year-old Jaromir and we are from the city of Kirov. We decided to take part in the competition. Based on the old New Year cards, it's a pity to throw it away, but they have been lying for a long time.

Yar cut out mugs, helped to twist them into cones, put plasticine and “spruce paws” on a stick. So that the Christmas tree would not fall, they stuck it in the deodorant cap, which Yar carefully covered with plasticine. Then Jaromir smeared the cones thickly with glitter glue, and decorated the stand with old wet wipes and the remnants of shiny gum.

And don't forget about the top. In Jaromirkin's warehouse of the necessary unnecessary items, just such a one was found! They didn’t do it all at once, but the child showed a clear interest in the process. Had a great time with my son! In the photo: our Christmas tree, a hare, beloved by my son, and Jaromir the monkey, carved along the way from a postcard.

21. Kiwi tree

For a Christmas tree, it is better to take 2 kiwis of different sizes. Peel the kiwi and cut into slices. We put kiwi on a toothpick (we took 3 for strength). We decorate the Christmas tree with toys - pomegranate seeds.

Tired of the mess in the nursery? Tired of endlessly collecting toys for the child?

In addition, one Christmas tree was sprinkled with snow - sugar. But it’s better not to do this, it melts and the taste of kiwi with sugar is a big fan.

The work was done by Fedya Demidov (2 years and 10 months old) and mother Oksana (slightly older).

22. Christmas tree made of pencil shavings

My name is Khuzzyatova Olga, and we youngest daughter Svetlana (3.5 years old) decided to take part in Christmas tree competition, although they had not participated anywhere before. We are from Irkutsk. Once we were sitting, solving Ovechkin's problems and we needed colored pencils, but somehow they all got used up and blunt, we decided to sharpen them and ... here the idea of ​​our Christmas tree was "born".

They made a cone out of cardboard and the fantasy was played out. At first I glued it myself, then my daughter joined and finished the Christmas tree. She liked the gluing process very much, she was so happy!

After the Christmas tree was ready, decorations were glued: snowflakes, balls, stars and, of course, a star was “dressed” on top! All day long, animals and toys danced around this Christmas tree.

23. Christmas tree - candle

The second work for the competition from Khuzzyatova Olga and daughter Svetlana is a Christmas tree from beeswax.

In anticipation new year holiday, for the second year we have been making live candles as a gift to all our friends. When you touch wax with your hands, it is such grace. And when you look at the fire from a candle - it's just magic! At first, the kids and I just inhaled this divine aroma of autumn and honey. We like it so much… And then we began to create and create.

This time they made a Christmas tree-candle.

They took wax, cut it in half, then into triangles. They put in a wick and my daughter began to twist. All is ready! Simple, beautiful, practical, with love and warmth of our hands!

We send our craft for the kindergarten to the competition. On it is not only a Christmas tree, but also a snowman - a mischievous one, as well as firewood and a snowman's headdress. The idea of ​​a snowman standing on his head was spied on somewhere, but there was a real snowman, and we also wanted to play pranks, like Carlson, and we made our own out of ... deodorant balls.

And the Christmas tree was built from sisal, well, and snow is simply made from salt and PVA glue.

  4. The background is decorated with stickers.

29. Christmas tree with a cone

My name is Julia Alkhovik and Alisa and I made a Christmas tree for the competition. Alice did almost all of this craft herself. I just cut out a piece of cardboard and glued the bump to the eyelet.

First, Alice decorated the workpiece with finger gouache. While everything was drying up, my daughter decorated the bump. After drying, pasta stars were glued onto plasticine balls. A hole was made with a hole punch and a ribbon was inserted.

I helped glue the bump. Then they decorated the stars and glued snow from cotton wool. It turned out very pretty!

30. Christmas tree - postcard

My name is Nadezhda Kudryashova, and my daughter is Anya, she is 4 years old. We are from Saint Petersburg. I love to embroider and my daughter, looking at me, began to ask me to teach her. So I came up with such a Christmas tree card to get acquainted with a needle and thread.

It's simple: they glued the silhouette of the Christmas tree (the daughter just wanted a triangle) and began to thread the threads (they used floss), stringing beads on them. Got garlands. At the end, drops of glue were dripped and sprinkled with sparkles.

31. Christmas tree - a cone of threads

My name is Lena, and my son Valera is 2.6 years old. We are from Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region.

The paper cone was wrapped in an ordinary plastic bag, smeared with glue and wrapped with threads. The glue was allowed to dry, then the cone was carefully removed first, and then the package.

The fun has begun! The son was given a huge selection of jewelry, he chose flowers, ribbons, beads and large beads. Perhaps the photos do not reflect the entire decoration process, but since the work was with glue, she could not leave her son without her help for a long time.

I already had a base with cones for 2 years, so we put a Christmas tree on it.

Natalya Kardashina and her sons could not pass by our competition. Each of them decided to make their own Christmas tree.

32. Orange quilling Christmas tree

I reacted to this idea with doubt: “Alyosha, you won’t be able to twist so much.” But it turned out to be wrong, Alexey himself almost completely twisted all the elements. I only helped glue everything.

The main elements used are a drop, a rhombus and an eye.

The Christmas tree turned out to be creative - orange. We decided that it would be more fun, and the green stripes we had were only very pale, sad.

33. Purple tree

Of course, three-dimensional modeling is difficult at the age of 3, so I had to help a lot in creating the form. The base is a cone gift package, shuttlecock - corrugated paper slightly stretched along the edge and pressed along the fold.

34. 3-D applique for kids

Of course, kids like my youngest son are not yet given the opportunity to do crafts, they don’t even understand what exactly is needed from them, but the process of smearing with paint is fascinating!

were drawing finger paints, although I later regretted it, since there is not enough brightness. Stage 1 - drawing the background. Stage 2 - cutting layers. Stage 3 - gluing the application on a thick double-sided tape.
Our Christmas trees became the backdrop for the composition with a purple Christmas tree.

35. Christmas tree - support

My name is Vlada Maksimishina, we are from Yalta. The Christmas tree was made together with my daughter (4 years old). The idea was "born" by accident. I planned to make some kind of "classic" Christmas tree, but, looking at pictures on the Internet, I realized that any object can be called a "Christmas tree" triangular shape. And then the word “support” caught my eye on the screen, and although it was used in a different meaning, the decision was made. The theme of light, or rather its absence, is relevant in Crimea now, and making a Christmas tree in the form of a support seemed an interesting idea.

For a long time I thought about what to make this support. The idea to use hangers also came by chance (I saw my daughter playing with a hanger before hanging up her jacket). It took only 5 hangers, some tape, tinsel, foil, cocktail tubes and thread. Well, a few ready-made toys for decoration (didn't have enough time to make them with my own hands).

36. Christmas tree made of plastic spoons

Somewhere on a Saturday afternoon
We made a Christmas tree with our family.
We are from Angarsk, we will tell you honestly
Making a "beauty" was a dream.

For a Christmas tree 20 cm high you will need:

  • 44 - 45 disposable spoons (we cut off their handles);
  • 1 cone (thick cardboard or foam) 20 cm high;
  • glue (we took a pistol, you can "Moment", but it is toxic for a child);
  • green paint and soap;
  • decorations for the Christmas tree (we made from corrugated paper).

Glue the spoons on the workpiece, starting from the bottom. After all the spoons are glued, we take the paint and start painting by dipping the brush in soap beforehand (this way the paint is better to lie down and not slip). And now the beautiful Christmas tree is ready.

While the tree is drying, we make decorations. We did Christmas balls from corrugated paper. They cut out squares, then they were crushed and glued to the Christmas tree. Decorate the Christmas tree the way you want. On the top of the head, the son wanted to stick a painted bump (left over from the New Year's door wreath, painted with paint from a balloon), you can make a star out of paper.

The work was done by Bichevin Yaroslav, 4 years old and mother Svetlana Bichevina, Angarsk.

37. Christmas tree - snowflake

My name is Olga Lunde and my daughter Anechka (3.8) from Krasnoyarsk and I decided to participate in the Christmas tree contest. We worked on our winter beauty for several days.
For work we needed:

  1. cone (made of thick cardboard);
  2. cotton pads;
  3. PVA glue;
  4. gouache;
  5. various decorations: beads, balls, etc.;
  6. for the garland we used thin fishing line and beads.

First of all, Anyuta glued discs onto a cone. This work stretched out for us all day - you need to stick a lot and carefully. After we glued all the “Christmas legs”, we straightened the Christmas tree to dry.
The second step was to color the Christmas tree in green color. Anya used green gouache and a small sponge. And again, the Christmas tree was left to dry.

And finally, the most interesting thing - we start dressing up our beauty. To do this, we used colored balls for crafts. Anyuta was very interested in this activity. The balls were various sizes. We tried on and consulted how best to arrange them. A red ball was placed on top - this is how we got a star.

Of course, we couldn't leave the snowflake Christmas tree without a garland. On a thin fishing line, Anyuta strung various beads from a set for making beads and bracelets.

At the end of our work, we admired the Christmas tree and decided to have a holiday in a fabulous, magical forest. We invited our toy animals: a bear and a bear cub, a squirrel, a hedgehog, a fox and bunnies. New Year's fairy tale turned out!

38. Christmas tree made from natural materials

39. Candy tree

The following 2 works are presented out of competition from Yulia Maznina, a member of the team of the Keen Moms Club.

My name is Julia Maznina. I have two boys: Andrey (10 years old) and Maxim (2 years 10 months). We live in the city of Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk region.

For several years in a row, for the New Year, we have been making a candy tree. Children remember it and every year they themselves remind us to do it again.

Usually we give a candy tree to someone. This fall, Maxim went to kindergarten, so this year we made a candy tree to arrange a Christmas tree holiday in kindergarten before the New Year, when the Christmas tree brings gifts to the kids - sweets.

For crafts "Candy Christmas tree" we needed:

  • a glass bottle from mineral or carbonated water (you can use a plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters, but for stability it must be filled with water);
  • sweets in a green wrapper (we had Pine Nut bars with painted cones on the wrapper, on glass bottle 0.5 l, it took us 50 sweets - 2 for each child in the kindergarten group + educators);
  • 2 sweets for the youngest participant, since it is difficult to make a Christmas tree out of sweets and not eat any of them;
  • tape and scissors.

Starting from the bottom, we glued sweets in several tiers at one end of the wrapper to the bottle. The top of the bottle was decorated with tinsel, and a red cap was put on the neck. Together with the Christmas tree, we made a monkey that will bring a candy Christmas tree to kindergarten. When the Christmas tree distributes treats, you do not need to pluck the candies, you just need to pull the candy out of the wrapper. The more candies that are eaten, the fluffier the Christmas tree will become.

40. Christmas tree made of rubber bands

Younger son loves to decorate Christmas trees. Since the beginning of December, we have been doing this almost every day. The Christmas trees are different, but I try to come up with such options so that he himself can then repeat the process.

For a Christmas tree made of rubber bands, we needed:

  • a plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters (you can take a red bottle cap - a star on the top);
  • elastic bands for hair of different diameters (it is better to use thick ones, they hold better).

We put elastic bands on the bottle from the bottom up, combine or alternate colors. For more stability, you can pour a little water into the bottle.

Wow! A whole spruce forest of crafts turned out!

We thought and thought and decided to encourage each participant of the competition with a pleasant New Year's surprise. Well, our team decided to distribute the main prizes as follows:

  • Nomination "Christmas Tree for a Baby" - a pyramid tree for the lazy from Gulnara Gazizova from Chelyabinsk (No. 27)
  • Nomination "Appetizing Christmas tree" - a Christmas tree of vegetables and cheese from Olga from Ussuriysk (No. 25)
  • Nomination "Eco-Christmas Tree" - Christmas tree-candle made of beeswax from Olga Khuzzyatova (No. 23)
  • But that is not all! Our entire team simply could not ignore the Christmas tree from Yalta from Vlada Maksimishina. This prop tree gets a Creative Christmas Tree nomination.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to everyone for participating! You are incredible!

Original do-it-yourself Christmas tree made of colored Japanese paper


You will need:

colored cardboard

Thick paper with a pattern (can be replaced with colored cardboard)

Colored or wrapping paper (you can use a page from an old magazine)

White sheet of A4 paper

2 skewers

Pencil and ruler

PVA glue or glue stick

Scissors

2. Preparing the basis for the Christmas tree:

plain paper A4 size, cut into strips 2 cm wide. Twist the strip into a circle, add a little glue at its end and glue the next strip (see image). Repeat the same action until you glue all the strips into one large circle with a diameter of 3.5 cm.

* The larger the circle, the more stable the tree will stand.

7. Take a color or wrapping paper and cut off several small rectangles from it, about 2 cm wide, with which you will later cover the skewers.

The skewers will play the role of the tree trunk.

8. Thread the skewers through one large circle. Since you need to leave gaps of about 2 cm between the circles, these gaps need to be hidden, so we will wrap them in small rectangles of colored paper.


9. After each circle, wrap the skewers with colored paper, 2 cm wide, and glue its ends. Continue repeating this action until all branches of the tree are put on skewers.

10. It remains to insert the skewers into the round base (see point 2) and fix them with glue.


* You can decorate the top of the Christmas tree to your taste - a paper star, a bead or a button.

Big Christmas tree made of paper

Sheets of green paper (preferably 2 shades - the lighter ones will be at the top of the Christmas tree, and the darker ones at its base)

Cardboard cylinder 2 pcs. (from paper towels)

PVA glue or hot glue

Scotch tape (if necessary)

Big bow.


1. From green sheets of paper, you need to twist a lot of cones of about the same size. Fasten the edges of the cones with tape or glue so that the cones do not unwind.


* Try to keep all the cones in one place for attaching with adhesive tape or gluing with glue so that they are not visible when creating the Christmas tree.

2. Glue two cardboard cylinder so that the tree can grow tall.


3. On the cylinders, draw lines at the same distance from each other so that you can evenly glue the cones.

4. Start folding the tree. Apply glue to the tip of one cone and press it to the cylinder, or rather to the drawn line. It is better to start gluing the cones from the bottom up.


* Glue so that the opening of the cone is on the side of the cylinder (i.e. tree trunk).

5. Glue the entire row of cones, pressing them firmly against each other and, if necessary, gluing them together.

6. Move up and glue the next row of cones. But you should not stick cones on the top of your head.

Let's decorate our home winter holiday. We have already made various ones, hung them on windows and walls. Now we want to give the holiday symbolism. And this, of course, is the main princess of the celebration - the Christmas tree. I know that many feel sorry for the trees and replace them with artificial counterparts. But sometimes you just want to make something with your own hands in order to get satisfaction from the action and accent in the decor.

All craft ideas are easy to do with the kids. To make it easier to do the job, make the basics in advance. And try not to skimp on decor. Buy more different beads, ribbons, ribbons, beautiful buttons. Gather small toys from kinders and decorate with them. And they will go into business and will not wallow.

You can create beauty from everything that is at hand. The main thing is to attach to this a share of imagination and all your accuracy. With modern devices, such as a glue gun, you can give the product original shapes and fix different textures and materials.

I know that traffic jams from wine bottles and ice cream sticks. Well, we didn’t have any traffic jams at home, and the sticks had long since sold out. different needs, so let's move on to materials that any housewife will definitely have - pasta and yarn.

Let's start with pasta. I know that various snowflakes are made from them. It turns out that they are also suitable for the Christmas tree.


We will need:

  • A pack of pasta (better to take feathers)
  • glue gun
  • Cardboard sheet
  • Dye
  • Decor

It is better to prefer the shape of "feathers" or "spirals". choose good manufacturer so that all the little things are even and the same length.

First of all, we glue a cone out of cardboard. I'm doing it simple twisting leaf around the arm. To prevent the workpiece from falling apart, we fasten it with a stapler.


And now we cut the base so that the tree stands straight, and not crooked.


We always start from the bottom. “Lay” the first two rows, i.e. glue them so that they lie on the surface, so the product will be more stable.

And the next rows need to be raised exactly on the previous one by an amount equal to half the “spiral”.


When you finish the top, we begin to cover the entire craft with paint.


You can take green, or you can buy gold or silver paint in a spray can. Only then you need to spray it not at home.

I really like the result. It doesn't take much time, but it looks very elegant.


Now it's the turn of yarn and cord.

To make a Christmas tree out of yarn, you need to wind the thread exactly one above the other on a paper cone. Periodically fastening it with hot glue to the base.

Decorate with decor.


This product is made even faster than pasta.

You can decorate them with buttons.


We will need:

  • Wire
  • Decor

First, we select the wire. It should be firm and not thin. From it we turn a cone-shaped spiral. We check for stability. The bottom can be wrapped twice.


We begin to string the cord on the wire.


Dry and decorate.

Glue will give the structure additional strength and will not allow the cord to slide down the frame.

Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper

Paper is always the first thing that the word "craft" is associated with. And from it you can create not one Christmas tree, but a whole spruce forest in which not a single tree will be repeated!

Let's say we want a paper tree to delight us on the kitchen table. Then you need to make it fluffy and voluminous. And also the most stable.

So, I picked up a few detailed master classes with clear description process.

Option 1

We will need:

  • cardboard cone
  • Paper of green color of different shades.

We cut out many circles of the same size from paper.

And we begin to glue their edges to the cone, observing the rows.


The first layer always goes at the base.

This craft is available in terms of difficulty, even for a two-year-old child. And it looks quite rich because of the different shades of the same color.

Option 2. Terry cone herringbone

Cut out 4 half circles. Each of them is smaller than the previous one in diameter by 2 centimeters.


We glue the blanks into a cone and cut the edges around the perimeter a little to get the volume. Fold the terry edges a little.

Now glue a smaller cone on the largest workpiece. And so in the direction of decreasing.

That's the whole easy process.

Option 3. Let's make a Christmas tree from paper circles

Cut out 4 circles. Each of them is 1 centimeter smaller than the previous one.


Then we fold each circle 3-4 times in half.

We also make the base out of paper. You can wrap green paper around a pencil or a kebab stick.

We string round blanks on the barrel in descending order of size.

To give stability, you can plant the trunk in plasticine, wax or a wine cork.

Option 4

We mark 15 circles, each time reducing the diameter by 1 centimeter. Then we divide each circle into 12 equal parts, drawing lines through the center.


From the center mark half the radius and draw a circle. Now we cut the lines clearly to the drawn circle.

Glue the tips on each petal.

When you have completed all the levels, start collecting the Christmas tree from the widest row to the smallest.

How do you like the ideas, I think that you will find ideas for yourself.

Craft from cotton pads for the new year in kindergarten

The child was taken aback by the task that tomorrow you need to bring crafts to kindergarten? And outside the window, of course, it is already night. Then you can use the packaging of cotton pads. In most families, they are actively used.


We will need:

  • Packing of cotton pads
  • Cardboard for the cone base
  • PVA glue
  • Decor

We fold the cardboard frame, connect the edges with a stapler.

Take a cotton pad and fold it in half.


Then, on a harmless PVA glue, we plant two tips of a cotton semicircle.


And we glue the workpiece to the base, after smearing its fold with the same PVA glue.


So we do row by row. It is better to glue cotton pads closer friend to a friend, so that there is a minimum of gaps.


It remains only to decorate the delicate beauty!


Children in kindergarten will definitely like your product, and they will not be ashamed in front of other parents.

DIY craft from napkins

Another very affordable material is napkins. You can use the most inexpensive and monophonic.

We take white, red, blue and green festive shades.

We fold the napkin several times to get the shape of a square, then cut the fold points and cross-fasten the middle with a stapler.


Now we bend each layer, forming a pompom.


Lay out the first row on the frame with these balls. Then we glue balls and other Christmas tree decorations on double-sided tape.

And fill the entire surface of the frame with napkins.

Everything is pretty fast.

By the way, you can see how to make from napkins here. It also turns out very nice.

Candy Christmas tree

A craft made from sweets will be a wonderful gift: buy at grocery store box good candies in beautiful packaging.

It is made of two parts - a base for sweets and a barrel.

We glue the base with a side of 23 centimeters. Make indents when cutting bottom edge and one rib has 1 cm. We will apply glue on them.

We decorate with beautiful paper or film. Glue the bottom to its base.

We make the trunk, decorate it and glue it with the frame.

Now we evenly put sweets, braid or Christmas tree beads on the hot glue.

Use the same color scheme for the base and candies.

We make a Christmas tree for the New Year from pine cones

Natural material always gives the right zest decor. It immediately smells of freshness and resin at home. Will give a symbolic meaning to this winter holiday.

Cones are also suitable for various crafts.

You can create a Christmas tree from only cones, or you can dilute them with sisal balls, decorative flowers or fir branches.
The combination of cones and dried citruses also looks unusual.


Glue the cones onto the base with hot glue. You can not think about the side that you have them. This will give a slight bewitching negligence to the product.

We alternate cones with Christmas balls or other decor.


We cover with artificial snow or white enamel from the sprayer.

Everything is quite easy, and the result is incredibly beautiful.

Light tinsel Christmas tree

Without tinsel we cannot imagine New Year! There are no decorations on it now: stars with balls, and multi-colored tips. It decorates windows, curtains, walls and, of course, is used as a material for crafts: wreaths and Christmas trees.

Since most tinsel manufacturers thread it on thin wire, it can be easily different kind curves and shapes.

A spruce tree is made from it in three minutes!

We will need:

  • Tinsel
  • Cardboard sheet
  • Double sided tape.

From cardboard we make a base in the form of a cone and glue it with double-sided tape.


We remove the protective film from the first row and begin to glue the end of the tinsel, tightly wrapping the frame.

If you didn’t have enough tinsel, then glue the end with tape, and put the next one on top of it fluffy ribbon the same color.

Fluffy pom-pom beauty

Pompoms have also long been loved by our craftswomen. Previously, we made a dog out of them, now we will create a fluffy beauty.

The balls themselves can be made in two different ways: by winding 20 layers on a fork or using two round blanks.

We will go with the second method.

We take cardboard or plastic, cut out two identical rings.


Now stepping back from the edge of the thread 5 centimeters, we begin to wind the yarn very tightly.

Then cut the outer fold between the blanks.


With the thread end left, we tie the middle of the pompom so as not to lose all the threads.


Now we are looking for a thick wire and turn it into a spiral. Leave the base wide. We string pom-poms on it.


If the wire is not found, then we use the experience of previous products and form a triangular or conical base.

Felt Christmas Tree Ideas

Felt is also popular with our craftswomen. No matter what they do, educational toys and Christmas tree decorations. Today I will give a few ideas for creating a spruce tree.

From the simplest options to the most complex.

Option 1. Cut out 10 Christmas trees of the same size from felt. Fold in half and glue the fold to the trunk.
We use branches, saw cuts of trees (preferably spruce or pine).


Option 2. Cut out many identical triangles from felt.

Glue them to the frame in rows. The upper triangle lies between the two lower ones!


Option 3. We prepare 5 squares of different sizes: 9 cm, 7 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm, 1 cm.

We make five of each size.


Now we string the largest squares onto the thick one, distributing them diagonally to each other so that there are no voids.

We pass all the squares like this.

New Year's beauty from fabric

And two more ideas of fabric beauties in the piggy bank. Ends can be finished decorative seam thick contrast thread. Sew buttons or beads onto symbolic branches.


Use several colors of fabrics and textures. For example, take velvet on one side and linen on the other.


You can also choose different patterns in one color scheme or vice versa to play with flowers - companions.


You can fill the Christmas tree with holofiber, synthetic winterizer or cuts, the remnants of your creativity.

If the product is small, fill it with cotton wool.

My dear, I tried to find for you the most interesting and affordable materials for creativity. I'd love to hear your opinion in the comments!

New Year is the most fun and most children's holiday.
Even adults are not afraid to look funny in red Santa Claus hats and with a bunch of gifts.
What can we say about the children, who in this joyful mess are trying to participate in all matters!
The main attributes of the New Year are Santa Claus and a Christmas tree.
Traditionally, a large Christmas tree is decorated with toys and tinsel, round dances are danced around it. But what if you make an unconventional Christmas tree?
A beautiful do-it-yourself paper Christmas tree will not pretend to be the centerpiece, but it can decorate a nursery or become a souvenir gift. Believe me, such a Christmas tree will find a use for itself.
Is being done Christmas tree from paper, cardboard, colored and corrugated paper, tinsel and any other improvised materials.
It is easy and fun to do: the kids take part in the work with great pleasure.
Two-year-old children, for example, can roll up plasticine balls, which then become a toy, or glue a small piece in the place indicated by adults.
And the memories of joint craft enough for a few days.
There are at least a dozen ways to make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands, but in any case
you will need:
- Paper (colored, corrugated, thick - whatever)
- Pencil with ruler Glue and stapler
- Scissors
- Sometimes a compass

Model No. 1. Volumetric paper Christmas tree

First, the base of the Christmas tree is made - a cone. If the tree is planned to be large, the cone is made of whatman paper (it can be replaced with four A4 sheets glued together). The center is marked in the center of the wide side, we draw lines from it to the two lower corners, cut it off (do not forget to leave an allowance for gluing), cut off the semicircular base, glue it, check whether it is even. On this basis - a cone - you can make several different options Christmas trees. It might turn out big tree from paper, if you make a large cone, and a small one - on a small cone. A different ways the manufacture of needles will generally be misleading: it may seem that these are different Christmas trees.

The first version of the Christmas tree-cone

To make the blank cone look like a Christmas tree, we make needles from colored paper. Traditionally, the needles are green, but it can be assumed that there is snow or frost on the branches - the choice of color is up to you. We outline the rectangles: for the lower needles, the width of the rectangle is 7 cm. We make a trapezoid from the rectangle: the upper side is cut off. The wide side is folded into a triangle and fastened with a stapler or glue, it is convenient to glue the top to the cone.

Volumetric needles can be replaced with circles glued behind upper part. If you cut circles different shade green, the tree will look more original.

Needles are glued in rows, we start from the bottom. To make the Christmas tree look beautiful, every three rows we reduce the size of the needles. That is, we first draw rectangles of 6.5 cm, then 6 cm and 5 cm. We draw the top of the Christmas tree with a small cone, the bottom of which we cut with triangles. If desired, the Christmas tree is decorated with sparkles. You can use ready-made sparkles, you can finely chop the tinsel. Apply glue to the needles and sprinkle glitter on them.

The second version of the Christmas tree-cone

We build a frame, cut thin short strips from colored paper, wind each strip on a pencil. The stripes take on a twisted look. With a certain skill, you can twist the strips of paper with scissors: gently draw the blade of open scissors from one end of the strip to the other, while pulling the strip. Glue the twisted strips to the cone. You can decorate the Christmas tree with anything: sparkles, bows, balls, stars.

The third version of the Christmas tree-cone

Glue drop needles onto the prepared frame. We make needles from strips of green (or any other) paper, glue their ends together - we get a drop. Glue larger drops at the bottom of the cone, smaller ones at the top.

The fourth version of the Christmas tree-cone

Wide strips of paper cut into fringes are glued to the base. Again, the strips are wider at the bottom (respectively, the needles are longer), at the top the strips are narrower. The color of the needles can be any: green will make it natural, multi-colored - decorative. We cut the strips into small “needles”, not cutting to the end about 1.5-2 cm. After the glue dries, the needles can be bent upwards - carefully draw a scissor blade from the base of the needles to the ends. Such a Christmas tree made of corrugated paper will look beautiful.

Model number 2. Christmas tree made of paper and cardboard

Cardboard will need double-sided. We fold a sheet of cardboard in half, draw the outline of the Christmas tree. We draw exactly the same contour on another sheet. We cut out both contours, then we make cuts along the axis to the middle: on one Christmas tree from above, on the other from below. We insert the parts into each other. We decorate with tinsel, balls (glass or paper), sparkles - anything. In the photo - slotted toys.

A similar Christmas tree can be made from colored paper. It will require 4 sheets. Fold each sheet in half, cut out a triangle. The resulting parts are glued together and cut at an angle of the needle. You need to twist them before the glue has dried.

Model number 3. Christmas tree made of colored paper

For this model, you will need thick paper. It is done simply: cut out a triangle, fold it with an accordion, make through hole, into which we insert a stick-rod. To make the Christmas tree stable, the stick can be inserted, for example, into an eraser. Such a Christmas tree can become a small souvenir or decorate the workplace. Christmas mood she will definitely create.

Model number 4. Christmas tree in papercraft technique

How such a Christmas tree is made of paper, the diagram shows clearly. It is necessary to cut several circles of different diameters (the bottom of the Christmas tree - from circles of a larger diameter, the top - from circles of a smaller one). Circles are drawn and cut, needles are folded. Finished tiers are strung on a rod. We decorate the Christmas tree with sparkles, beads, foil bows - the fantasy is limitless.

Model number 5. folding herringbone

For such a Christmas tree, several circles of different diameters are cut. The diameter and number of circles depends on the desired size of the Christmas tree. Fold each circle in half 4 times, unfold and straighten the circles. The trunk of the Christmas tree can be made from an old pencil, a straw for a cocktail, a wooden stick - all this is wrapped in colored paper, the tip is glued. In the center of each circle we cut a small hole (it should be smaller than the diameter of the trunk in order to hold on tighter). Circles-tiers are strung on the trunk, starting from the bottom. A Christmas tree stand can be made from a wooden coil, cork, lid from plastic bottle, plasticine, glued from thick paper.
