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

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

You can create beauty from everything you have at hand. The main thing is to apply a bit of imagination and all your accuracy to this. With modern devices, such as a glue gun, you can give the product original forms and secure different textures and materials.

I know that traffic jams from wine bottles and popsicle 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 they make various snowflakes. It turns out that they are also suitable for a Christmas tree.


We will need:

  • A pack of pasta (it's better to take feathers)
  • Glue gun
  • Sheet of cardboard
  • Dye
  • Decor

It is better to prefer the “feather” or “spiral” shape. Choose good manufacturer so that all the pieces are even and of the same length.

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


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


We always start from the foundation. The first two rows are “put down”, i.e. Glue them so that they lie on the surface, so the product will be more stable.

And subsequent rows need to be raised exactly on the previous ones 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 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 from yarn, you need to paper cone wind the thread exactly above each other. Periodically fastening it with hot glue to the base.

Decorate with decor.


This product is made even faster than from pasta.

You can decorate them with buttons.


We will need:

  • Wire
  • Decor

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


We begin to string the cord onto the wire.


Dry and decorate.

The glue will give the structure additional strength and will not allow the cord to slide down along the frame.

Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper

Paper is always the first thing the word “craft” is associated with. And from it you can create not just one Christmas tree, but an entire spruce forest, in which not a single tree will be the same!

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

So, I have selected several detailed master classes from clear description process.

Option 1

We will need:

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 accessible in terms of difficulty level, even 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 semicircles. Each of them is 2 centimeters smaller in diameter than the previous one.


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

Now we glue a smaller cone onto the largest piece. And so on downwards.

That's the whole simple process.

Option 3. Let's make a spruce out of paper circles

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


Then fold each circle in half 3-4 times.

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

We string the round blanks onto the trunk in descending order of size.

To give stability, you can place the trunk in plasticine, wax or 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 ends of each petal together.

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

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

Crafts from cotton pads for the New Year in kindergarten

Was your child dumbfounded by the task that you need to bring a craft to kindergarten tomorrow? And outside the window, of course, it’s already night. Then you can use the packaging cotton pads. In most families they are actively used.


We will need:

  • Packaging of cotton pads
  • Cardboard for cone base
  • PVA glue
  • Decor

We roll up the cardboard frame and connect the edges with a stapler.

Take a cotton pad and fold it in half.


Then we place two ends of a cotton semicircle on harmless PVA glue.


And glue the workpiece to the base, having previously smeared its fold with the same PVA glue.


We do this row by row. Better cotton pads glue closer friend to a friend so that there is a minimum of gaps.


All that remains is to decorate the delicate beauty!


For children in kindergarten You will definitely like your product, and you won’t be ashamed in front of other parents.

DIY craft from napkins

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

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

We fold the napkin several times to get a square shape, then we cut the folds and crosswise fasten the middle with a stapler.


Now we bend each layer, forming a pompom.


We lay out the first row on the frame with these balls. Then we glue the balls and other Christmas tree decorations onto 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 one from napkins here. It also turns out very beautiful.

Christmas tree made from candies

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

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

Glue the base with a side of 23 centimeters. When cutting, make indents along bottom edge and one edge is 1 cm. We will apply glue to them.

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

We make a trunk, decorate it and glue it to the frame.

Now we evenly place candies, braid or Christmas tree beads onto the hot glue.

Use the same color scheme for the base and candies.

Making a New Year tree from pine cones

Natural material always gives the right zest decor. Your home will immediately smell fresh and resinous. Will give symbolic meaning to this winter holiday.

The cones are also suitable for various crafts.

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


Glue the pine cones onto the base using hot glue. You don’t have to think about the side you have them on. This will add a slight, mesmerizing carelessness to the product.

We alternate cones with Christmas balls or other decor.


We cover artificial snow or white enamel from a spray gun.

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

Light tinsel Christmas tree

We can't imagine ourselves without tinsel New Year! There are all sorts of decorations on it now: stars with balls, and multi-colored tips. It is used to decorate windows, curtains, walls and, of course, is used as a material for crafts: wreaths and Christmas trees.

Since most tinsel manufacturers put it on a thin wire, it can easily be various kinds curves and shapes.

A spruce tree is made from it in three minutes!

We will need:

  • Tinsel
  • Sheet of cardboard
  • Double sided tape.

We make a cone-shaped base from cardboard and cover it with double-sided tape.


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

If you don’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 beauty made of pompoms

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

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

We will go with the second method.

Take cardboard or plastic and cut out two identical rings.


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

Then we cut the outer fold between the blanks.


Using the remaining thread tip, we tie the middle of the pompom so as not to lose all the threads.


Now we look for a thick wire and roll it into a spiral. Leave the base wide. We string pompoms onto 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 among our craftswomen. It can be used to make educational toys and Christmas tree decorations. Today I will give you a few ideas for creating a spruce tree.

From the most simple options, to 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, tree cuts (preferably spruce or pine).


Option 2. Cut out many identical triangles from felt.

We glue them to the frame in rows. The top triangle fits between the two bottom ones!


Option 3. 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 made of fabric

And two more ideas for fabric beauties. The ends can be processed decorative seam thick contrasting thread. Sew buttons or beads onto symbolic branches.


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


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


You can fill the Christmas tree with holofiber, padding polyester, or pieces left over from your creativity.

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

My dears, I tried to select for you the most interesting and accessible materials for creativity. I would really like to know your opinion in the comments!

In the fall, you increasingly begin to think about the coming of the New Year with its festive mood, meetings with friends and family and, of course, gifts. In addition, since childhood, we have all associated the New Year with the Christmas tree! That's what we'll talk about)

Fortunately, people are increasingly thinking about what not to cut live Christmas tree for the sake of several holidays. Krestik and I fully support this decision and believe that a DIY Christmas tree is much more interesting and humane! Moreover, this great options for those who have nowhere to put big Christmas tree(for example, there is no free space, or this free space active Small child).

We present to your attention large selection master classes on creating decorative Christmas tree with your own hands, which will serve as a wonderful decoration for your home and an original gift to a wonderful holiday!

Christmas tree made of pine cones

Very original Christmas tree you can make it with your own hands from pine cones. But we will not use the whole cones, but will use only their scales so that the tree is not too bulky.

So, first, let's separate its scales from the cone. This can be done with a sharp knife, wire cutters or pruning shears.

Be careful, take care of your hands!

The next step is to make a cone from thick paper or cardboard, which will be the base of our Christmas tree. We roll the paper into a cone, glue it on the sides and cut off the excess at the base.

Then we simply take the scales in our hands and glue them in a circle, starting from the base of the cone.

You can glue each new row in a checkerboard pattern, or, like here, on top of each other.

You can glue a clove to the top of the tree (such a spice))

After the glue has dried, you can start painting our beauty. To do this, you can use spray paint or regular paint. acrylic paint.

If you choose acrylic paint with a metallic effect, your Christmas tree will look much more impressive.

Then we cover the ends of the “twigs” with PVA glue and sprinkle glitter on them.

This is the beauty that results from these simple actions:

Using exactly the same principle, you can decorate the cone with chains and beads, decorative cords, ribbons, braid, etc.

Another very popular manufacturing method artificial Christmas trees Do-it-yourself is their weaving from beads. This is perhaps the most painstaking method, but for lovers of beadwork nothing is impossible!

The detailed process of weaving Christmas trees from beads cannot be contained in one article, so we are sharing with you links to master classes previously published on Krestik.

Christmas tree made of paper and cardboard

If you have nothing to do at work) or just want to add a little holiday to the office, make a Christmas tree out of paper. What's easier?)

And this tree is very similar to a designer one, don’t you think? It's all the color's fault designer cardboard, which is so beautiful and bright that you don’t even need to decorate the Christmas tree with anything else), which simplifies the process of making a Christmas tree with your own hands.

Secondly, to make a designer Christmas tree, you can use threads that are wound on a paper cone using the technology of making openwork balls.

Third, flower mesh and a net for bouquets.

The technology for making these three Christmas trees is very similar, so the process of creating them is shown in one master class.

Feather Christmas tree

Yes, they do too! Feathers can be bought at hardware stores, or maybe you have supplies of bird feathers? They can be painted for brightness. food coloring. It looks original, beautiful and so airy!

The decoration and symbol of the New Year is a beautiful elegant Christmas tree. If you did not have time to purchase a live or artificial Christmas tree, then you can make a tree from scrap materials, for example, paper Christmas trees are original.

Familiar or unusual things, materials, and details can be used as constituent elements. The original fluffy beauty is made from cardboard and cotton wool, from crepe paper and thin paper strips, fabric and plastic, wire and yarn.

How to make a paper Christmas tree

Paper is one of the most accessible and flexible materials. It bends, folds, cuts, glues and paints easily. Unusual craft– a DIY paper Christmas tree will decorate your holiday.

Our instructions will tell you how to make a Christmas tree out of paper.

Made from crepe paper

A New Year's tree made from crepe paper turns out to be delicate and airy. We will need a stable base cone, scissors, a glue stick and green crepe paper.

We cut the paper into strips 7–10 cm wide. On one side we make cuts at a distance of 1 cm from each other and with a depth to the middle of the strip. We wind the blanks onto the cone in a spiral starting from the bottom.

The strips must be laid out so that there is no empty space left on the base. We twist the cut petals randomly. We use beads, buttons, and rhinestones as decoration.

Made from tissue or crepe paper

You can make another, more complex version of the New Year tree from crepe or tissue paper. We twist the paper strips, cut as indicated earlier, into tight spirals and glue the ends.

From the side of the cuts we fluff the paper randomly. We tightly glue the blanks onto the cone with the end side, decorate with multi-colored bows and beads. Our fluffy Christmas tree is ready.

From circles

A child will be happy to make a Christmas tree from circles folded like a fan. We stock up on a ruler, pencil, scissors, glue, a needle and thread and double-sided green paper - we will need it to cut out the details of the Christmas tree.

We draw the paper into strips of different widths, reducing the next one by 1 cm, and cut them. We fold the strips like an accordion and cut off a small tip on one side obliquely. Carefully stitch the workpiece with thread from the uncut side and open the fan.

We fasten the thread, trying not to tear the paper, and glue the end sides of the fan. We assemble the Christmas tree from the prepared blanks, placing the largest one at the bottom. We glue the parts together with a drop of glue.

From cardboard

A small cardboard Christmas tree will fit perfectly into the decor of the New Year's table. This craft is simple and quick to do. A diagram of the Christmas tree is drawn on thick colored cardboard. Your imagination will tell you the shape and size of the branches.

Cut out the blank, place it on cardboard, trace and cut out the second one. On the workpiece, draw a vertical center line and mark its middle. On one part, make a cut from bottom to middle, and on the other, from top to middle.

Insert the Christmas tree blanks into the cut. Draw colorful patterns on the planes, Christmas decorations and decorations. Paper Christmas tree ready.

From colored paper

A Christmas tree made of colored paper looks bright and festive. It can be made from circles, stripes, cones. Volumetric Christmas tree paper is made from circles different sizes. Fold the round piece diagonally.

We repeat the action many times, carefully ironing the folds. We unfold the workpiece and shift the folding edges alternately up and down. You can fasten the resulting parts in different ways: by carefully threading them onto a skewer or gluing them together.

Cone based

By choosing a cone as a base, you can make many original Christmas trees of different sizes and shapes for the New Year. For example, from paper strips folded into loops.

Blanks of the same width and length can be cut from double-sided colored paper or purchased finished paper for quilling. Fold the piece into a loop and glue it at the bottom of the cone.

We glue the base from bottom to top, trying not to leave empty seats. Our DIY paper Christmas tree is ready.

From paper cones

A paper cone can serve not only as a base, but also as branches for our Christmas tree. We cut the selected paper into squares and put them into little bags, securing them with glue.

Slightly flatten the top of the cone and glue it flat to the base, placing the seam down. We fill all the free space in rows. The paper Christmas tree is ready.

Quilling

Using the quilling technique, or paper rolling, flat and voluminous postcards, figurines and other crafts. At the same time, thin strips are twisted into spirals, and from such blanks we will make our paper Christmas trees.

Special strips for quilling are sold in stores, but you can also cut double-sided paper 5 mm wide yourself. Using a knitting needle or toothpick paper strip roll it into a tight twist, then remove it and loosen it slightly. We glue the tip so that the workpiece does not unravel further. Using your fingers, lightly squeeze the spiral on one side, giving it the appearance of a droplet.

Glue the blanks in a herringbone pattern onto a sheet of cardboard with the sharp tips facing out. We make Christmas tree decorations from tight multi-colored spirals.

Origami

Another technique of working with paper, origami, will help you make an original Christmas tree. We will need paper squares of different sizes. We bend the workpiece in half in one direction and in the other, and then along both diagonals.

Straighten the paper square. We fold the workpiece in the shape of a pyramid so that the diagonal folds are at the top. Glue two adjacent edges onto the cardboard base. We bend two free adjacent edges diagonally.

In the same way, we glue all the prepared squares under each other, placing the largest one at the bottom and the smallest one at the top. We decorate the tree with rhinestones and beads.

From rolls

The symbol of the New Year, assembled from rolls, looks unusual. Moreover, the blanks can be either the same diameter or different. We cut the rolls to the same length and, if necessary, paint them in green color or wrap it in green paper.

We glue the blanks in a horizontal position, starting from a wider base. We make each next row smaller than the previous one. We place decorations in the middle of the rolls.

From eights

A Christmas tree made from paper eights is quick and easy to assemble. For this we will need thick green paper, scissors, beads and chenille wire.

We cut 8–10 strips of paper 3–4 cm wide. The length of each piece should be 4–5 cm longer than the previous one. We make three holes on each strip: one at the ends and one in the center. We make a loop at the end of the wire so that the figure eights do not move from the base. We put on the most long strip through the outermost hole, then the central one and again the outermost one.

The next element is a bead. Repeat the steps with a shorter strip. And again we string the separating bead. We finish assembling the Christmas tree with a bead, cut off the excess wire and bend the tip into a loop. The tree can be hung from this loop.

Charming fluffy Christmas trees made by hand from multicolored paper and cardboard, will complement the decor of the room, help create festive mood. They can be used to decorate New Year's table or use as Christmas tree decorations. Many models can be made together with children, sharing the joy of creativity with them.

To bring this idea to life, you will need a list of necessary materials:

  • cardboard;
  • colored paper;
  • glue;
  • scotch;
  • scissors.

DIY New Year's Crafts

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Make a cone out of cardboard, which will be used as a base for the tree. You need to secure the cone with glue so that it does not unfold.

2. Cut sheets of colored paper into thin strips.

Important! You need to carefully ensure that the stripes are approximately the same length and width. This will give the tree a neat, aesthetic appearance.

3. Glue the edges of the strips together to make loops. This can also be done using glue.

4. Glue the finished loops onto pieces of double-sided tape.

5. Wrap the base cone with tape with loops in the direction from bottom to top. The result is a cheerful “shaggy” Christmas tree.

Christmas tree made of beads: a master class on bringing the idea to life

And now we present to our readers a Christmas tree made of beads - a master class with step-by-step photos. For such creative process you need to stock up:

  • wire with a diameter of 0.25 mm;
  • beads of green and golden color.

First you need to collect 9 green beads and 1 golden bead on a piece of wire about 40 cm long. Without touching the golden bead, you need to thread the other end of the wire through the green beads in the opposite direction. Thus, a needle is created for the future New Year's green beauty.

How to install a Christmas tree

At the next stage, you need to align the wire clearly in half, tighten the ends tightly. On each side you should make a couple more needles of this type.

Important! It is necessary to arrange the needles so that they are as close to each other as possible. This will give the product a neat appearance.

These small branches should be used to form a large branch for the Christmas tree. For the upper branches you need to use 10 small branches, pre-harvested, and for the lower ones - 15.

You need to assemble a Christmas tree from beads in this order:

  • for the top - one small branch;
  • for the second tier - three large branches, each of which consists of 10 small ones;
  • for the third tier - four large branches, consisting of 10 small ones each;
  • for the fifth tier - five large branches, each of which contains 15 small branches.

The number of tiers and large branches in them may increase depending on the height of the product planned to be made. The photo below shows step-by-step weaving:

DIY felt Christmas tree

Enough in a simple way making a felt Christmas tree with your own hands is considered. Such a souvenir can be used as New Year's gift for friends or acquaintances. The advantages of felt as a material for a Christmas tree are that it is able to hold its shape well and is not prone to shedding.

To make a felt New Year's beauty, you need to use an arsenal of materials and tools consisting of:

  • felt;
  • cardboard;
  • tape (glue);
  • scissors

First you need to prepare cardboard cone, which are secured with tape or glue.

At the next stage, you need to cut out circles from felt, different in diameter - as they increase. You can pre-prepare cardboard circle templates.

The base of the cone must be decorated with tinsel, which is also attached using glue or tape.

On each of the cut out felt circles, make a cross cut in the center and place them sequentially - from largest to smallest - onto the cone. When all the pieces of felt are on the tree trunk, the resulting beauty should be decorated with a star on the top of the head, and with tinsel along the entire height.

Simple Christmas trees made from scrap materials

If there is very little time left before the New Year's celebration, and the main symbol of the holiday is still not in the house, you can make a New Year's tree with your own hands from scrap materials, spending a minimum of time and resources. Let's look at a few interesting options such unpretentious creativity:

1. Christmas tree from a plastic bottle. Surely every home has something that has been lying around for a long time. plastic bottle, painted green. For this purpose, the container itself must be cut into rectangles (5-6 pieces to create tiers of the tree). Each of the rectangles should be cut into small strips, not reaching top edge. Such cut rectangles need to be wrapped around a pre-prepared cardboard cone and secured with tape. You should dress the Christmas tree in needles from the bottom tier, moving towards the top.

Making a Christmas wreath with your own hands

2. Christmas tree made from leftover yarn. Extremely easy to make. Even a small child can handle this process. As in the previous case, you need to make a cone out of cardboard and secure it with tape/glue. Then the cardboard frame must be well lubricated with the same glue and the yarn must be wrapped tightly around it, without leaving any gaps. Beads and sparkles are used as decoration.

3. Tinsel Christmas tree. Step-by-step execution This souvenir is completely identical to the version with yarn with one difference - instead of it, the remains of New Year's tinsel are used.

4. Sweet Christmas tree. Her distinguishing feature– use of sweets as decoration. They are often applied to a product made of tinsel. It is recommended to secure the candies using double-sided tape.

5. New Year's beauty from pasta. To make it, you will need more time and attention, and perseverance will not hurt. As before, you need to start the process by preparing a cardboard cone. It should be greased with glue and begin gluing the pasta. When the pasta is glued along the entire length required quantity, they can be painted with all kinds of paint colors.

6. Creative Christmas tree from old magazines. To implement this idea, glossy pages with colorful pictures are best suited. It is necessary to form a cone from cardboard, which is secured with tape or glue. A large number of circles of equal diameter should be cut out from magazine leaves. Each of them must be wrapped around a pencil to give them a swirled appearance. Such curled pieces of magazine pages should be glued onto the cone in the direction from bottom to top. The top of the beauty's head must be decorated with a small glossy cone.
