7 ideas how to make a Christmas tree out of paper
This is the easiest way that even children can handle. To make a Christmas tree, as in the photo, you will need a long wooden stick or pencil, cardboard, a cube-shaped stand, pieces of multi-colored paper and a small piece of braid.
Progress: cut out circles of different diameters from cardboard or thick green paper. We glue the figures cut out of colored paper. We make holes exactly in the center of the circles and begin to string them on a pencil, starting with the largest circles in diameter and ending with the smallest circle. We fix the pencil in a stand in the form of a cube. The stand can be made of thick cardboard. You can use another stand, as long as it is stable. If, nevertheless, the Christmas tree is unstable, weight the base with plasticine by sticking a pencil into it. Top with a star.
You can do the same corrugated paper tree. If there is no such paper, cut strips of colored paper of different widths. Fold each strip evenly into an accordion shape. Fasten them so that you get circles. String corrugated circles on a long stick or pencil, placing pieces of colored tape between them.

How to sew a Christmas tree for the New Year

The photo shows a sequential master class for making such a Christmas tree:

A cute Christmas tree is obtained if it is performed in papier-mâché technique. This is when the desired figure is molded from pieces of paper, water and glue. In this case, this figure will be the Christmas tree itself. In the master class, you will understand how to make a papier-mâché Christmas tree. Here you will need a minimum of materials: paper, glue, a flower pot, green paint, decorative elements, clay or plasticine and small stones. 
How to make a polymer clay Christmas tree
You can make a polymer clay Christmas tree that does not need to be baked in the oven. To work, you will need a small bottle and a jar of yogurt, a decorative pot, self-hardening clay in green, yellow and brown, a wooden stick, decorative elements, gypsum, water and glue.
In addition to the main Christmas tree in the living room, large, richly decorated, you can make a Christmas tree with your own hands in each room. Our master class is dedicated to how to make it out of paper. But first, let's look at which paper Christmas trees are popular. They can be flat (on a wall, postcard, gift box) or voluminous (cone, "book").
A very convenient material for making a Christmas tree based on a cone is corrugated paper. The cone can be made from cardboard, thick paper, or buy a plastic blank. Strips of corrugated paper are glued onto the cone in a circle or spiral from the bottom up.
According to another technique, individual petals are made from corrugated paper. Both stripes and petals can be made in one color, or you can take several close shades, then the tree turns out to be more picturesque, more natural.
You can make the Christmas tree cone unusual by taking not green, but, for example, pink corrugated paper.
You can decorate it with sequins, sequins, buttons, bows. Or collect beads on a string and hang them on a Christmas tree, or you can just let her wear her beads.
Instead of corrugated paper for making Christmas tree needles, you can use ribbons, fabric, lace.
You can corrugate paper by making small or large folds on the sheet by gluing the parts to the cone.
The role of a cone can be played by a bottle of champagne, and instead of toys, sweets are woven into paper needles. This bottle can be both a table decoration and a gift.
There is even an origami technique where the sheet is folded many times, very neat geometric models are obtained.
The most realistic spruce branches are obtained when cuts are made on strips of corrugated paper, needles are twisted, paper is wound on wire. Then small branches are collected into larger branches.
Flat Christmas trees made of paper
Corrugated paper can not only stick on the cone. It can be mounted directly on the wall, it is very convenient if there is not enough space. A Christmas tree on the wall can be made from anything, it is enough to observe a triangular shape and tiering. Thanks to the simple shape of the Christmas tree, it can be made up of any objects and materials: from paper stickers to shelves hung in the form of a Christmas tree.
Paper Christmas tree
There is another way to make a voluminous Christmas tree, without using a cone at the base. If you make 2 or more identical parts of a whole Christmas tree out of paper, stitch them along the vertical axis and lay them out like a book, you can get a very spectacular tree.
We propose to make just such a Christmas tree. If you choose a carved stencil, then it will become as elegant as lace.
Before making a Christmas tree out of paper, we will collect all the necessary materials and tools. Of the materials we need: a stencil-pattern, watercolor paper and gouache. The thicker the paper, the better the tree will hold its shape after painting. Watercolor paper is designed for strong wetting, it will not warp from the water contained in the paint, but printer paper and drawing paper will not work.
You will also need tools: a sharp paper knife, paper clips, 2 brushes, a sponge for dishes, a needle and thread. Choose a clerical knife with breakable blades or a small construction knife. With a large brush or sponge we will paint the Christmas tree, and with a small brush we will draw stars and a crown on it.
First, print the stencil. We take 2 sheets of watercolor paper and put a stencil on them, fix them with paper clips along the edges.
It is important that the sheets do not move out when cutting. Place many layers of newspapers under the bottom, on a soft surface it is easier to cut and you will not ruin the table.
Cutting openwork blanks is the longest and most difficult stage. When it is finished, the most pleasant creative component comes.
Now the details need to be sewn. First, you can take a thicker needle, and how to make punctures along the stitching line at a distance of 0.5 cm from each other with an awl. Then sew through these punctures and hide the threads.
It's time to start painting the Christmas tree with green gouache. Gouache is good because, like all water-soluble paints, it dries quickly, lays down in a dense opaque layer, covering all previous layers, with it a bright matte surface is obtained.
After the green paint dries, and this will happen in an hour, you can begin to paint the details of the Christmas tree. Our stencil is very handy in this regard. The asterisks are well cut, and it will not be difficult to paint over them. I had silver, yellow and red paints. Instead of silver, white gouache with a drop of blue or red is well suited. Snow will be bright white, so it is better not to use it so that the details do not merge.
It remains to revive the Christmas tree with snow - drops of white gouache. We spray them with a large hard brush or brush evenly, preferably in the center. No need to try too hard to do it carefully, the snow sweeps as it pleases.
So we learned how to make a Christmas tree out of paper. This method is low-cost and fast, which means that it is possible to make a lot of Christmas trees using watercolor paper and gouache. Many of your friends will like this Christmas tree as a gift, because you can put it on the New Year's table, window sill. You can make this Christmas tree flat from one piece. Then it is good to hang it on the wall, window, glass door.
Simple paper Christmas trees
If you need a very simple way to make a Christmas tree out of paper, it is better to take colored sheets right away. If the tree is without a frame, then the sheets are thick: cardboard or thick colored paper for the printer.
With the book structure of the Christmas tree, it would be better to use PVA glue, and make New Year's toys on it from colored plasticine balls or cut it from self-adhesive paper.

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
Darning needle (if necessary).
1. Cut out 14 rectangles of 2 of the same size from colored cardboard. In this example, 2 rectangles are 21 x 28 cm, two more are 18 x 28 cm, then (also 2 each): 16 x 28 cm, 13.5 x 26 cm, 12 x 26 cm, 9 x 25 cm, and 6 x 22 cm.
2. Preparing the basis for the Christmas tree:
Cut plain A4 paper into strips 2 cm wide. Roll 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.
3. Take a large rectangle of colored cardboard and start folding it with an accordion, 1.5 cm wide. Cut the ends of the accordion into a rounded shape.
4. Fold the accordion in half and glue the sides - you have a semicircle.
5. Repeat the same with the second rectangle, then glue the two semicircles to form a circle - these will be the branches of the lower level of the tree.
* To secure the halves of one circle, you can pass a thin wire through them and twist its ends from the back.
6. Make similar images for 6 more levels of your Christmas tree.
7. Take colored 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
You will need:
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 cylinders together so that the tree can become 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.
For the top of the Christmas tree, it is best to glue several cones together. Glue a large bow to them and "put" the whole structure on the cylinder. It doesn't have to be glued on.

DIY Christmas (and not only) Christmas trees: master classes
Almost all Christmas trees presented today are made using different materials. Some are very unusual, artsy, rich. I would even say elite. And others, on the contrary, are as simple and minimalistic in design as possible. A la Ikea, so to speak.
DIY paper tree
The largest group today. You will see many representatives of a beautiful spruce species. Each one is different, so take your pick.
Origami
The simplest version of a paper Christmas tree is using a square. Fold the square in half (diagonally), bend the opposite sides to the center (as in an airplane) and that's it
Tip: Use this simple technique to decorate a greeting card or fold napkins beautifully.
Angular
First things first, fold the square of paper as shown in the photo. Then:
- Fold the structure so that the side corners are inside. This will result in a square, four times smaller than the original.
- Fold the right corner towards the center
- And the left one.
- Fold the right corner to the right.
- Fold this corner under.
- Do the same with the second one.
Now turn the design over and repeat steps 2-6 only for this side. It remains only to cut off the sharp lower tip and make a few cuts on both sides. Then bend each incised tip and put the Christmas tree on the table)
Circles
To create this spruce, take paper and draw a circle on it, drawing it in the necessary way, as under number 1. Next, cut out the circle and cut each section to a small circle. Now wrap each of these small sections on both sides with the tips inward, glue. Do the whole circle in this way.
Spruce will need several rows. In the photo, for example, you see a beauty of 15 layers with a cone top. Layers, by the way, are assembled on a wire, piercing the centers of the parts.
Panel in kindergarten
In kindergarten, they gave you the task to make a Christmas tree with your child? Then this option is the easiest. Take thick cardboard and colored paper. Cut out triangles from cardboard, cut the paper into strips and glue them with an overlap. Even a child can handle this. Cut off the excess. At the bottom, you can glue a skewer and stick it into the synthetic winterizer.
Tip: the resulting product can be used as bookmarks for books.
We make using improvised materials
To create this semblance of a fluffy coniferous creature, you will need a long metal pin on a stand and lots and lots of waste paper. Feel free to use newspapers, old magazines, etc.
Tip: additional decoration of the Christmas tree can be done with spray paint, which can be sprayed on the leaves. This will make them stronger and more durable.
Big tree of knowledge
The next beauty will be a spruce that carries knowledge. For her, you just need to put all the available books in a pyramid. I strongly do not recommend hanging an electric garland, as in the photo: fires in the New Year occur very often, do not neglect this. It is better to put ordinary tinsel and balls on the ledges.
From tubules
Incredibly simple technology. Suitable for decorating postcards and walls. Prepare several tubes folded from paper rectangles. Glue each in the intended location. The tubes can be made gradually decreasing or with a “brush” (sometimes overlay longer elements higher than necessary).
Glue embellishments from buttons or sequins on top.
fluffy
For her, you will need many, many paper strips, which will need to be glued in layers to a paper cone. And put on a cute cone hat on top. Great craft that you can do with kids
For those who love quilling
Love to spin paper spirals? Then prepare several strips of paper of the same thickness. Roll 17 pieces into spirals and pinch one end of each. For the trunk, simply roll 4 tubes, put on a skewer. Glue all parts, according to the photo. The tips of the "branches" can be decorated with cylinders of a different color, similar to Christmas decorations.
Vytynanki
I remember that my sister once mentioned that she liked the so-called vytynanki - one of the types of Slavic folk art, in which things of amazing beauty are cut out of paper. Often they are glued to glass to enhance the festive atmosphere.
And they are made like this: the desired pattern is drawn in advance on paper. In this case, spruce folded in half. And then, with the help of a well-sharpened clerical knife, all unnecessary parts are cut out. For spruce, you will need two parts folded in half, which can later be sewn in the center on a sewing machine or by hand.
Corrugated paper
Continuing the paper theme, I want to show you three simple Christmas trees. The first, with blue roses, which are made from tissue paper (like pleated, but much thinner). Each rose is created with a strip that is twisted heavily at the center and slightly looser towards the end. Thanks to the properties of paper, roses are easily straightened and become lush.
The base is again a cone.
The next spruce is very similar to the previous one, but here the strips used to create flowers are cut along the edge, due to which they are very fluffy. They are again twisted into a flower, but they do not seek to give the appearance of a rose, but simply grind them as far as possible.
From cupcake molds
Well, that's an interesting idea. I have just a bunch of these molds, which, it seems, will never be useful to me (I'd rather buy silicone ones). From each cut off the bottom and cut from one edge. And stick on a paper cone.
By the way, you can make a flat Christmas tree on a postcard from scraps, as in the photo in the master class.
Fabric Christmas trees
Floral
For this beauty, you will need a lot of flowers from circles. For them, cut out several circles from the fabric and burn the edges. It is better to take an organza, a veil or something similar. Then collect each flower on a thread and decorate the core.
Spruce again from a paper cone at the base
From felt
To create these pendants, take soft (for the base) and dense (for other elements) felt and beads. Patterns can be made directly from the photo. All that remains is to cut out the details from the felt, which then need to be sewn with a running seam and stuffed. Well, decorate, of course.
You can give such a Christmas tree to a guy - it will be very touching
From satin ribbon
Prepare beads, satin or rep ribbon (or maybe even lace?), threads and a needle. All that is needed is to string beads and loops of tape alternately onto the thread. The main thing is not to forget to fix at the beginning and at the end of the product.
From balls
The essence of creating this wonderful Christmas tree is to create a huge number of fabric balls. For each of them, cut out the circles and tighten with a thread, laying a running seam. Put a little padding inside and pull it off. Each such ball must be glued to the base.
The base can be a foam cone, a paper cone, or sewn from fabric. You can also arrange a spruce in the form of a topiary, for this you will also need a pot with polymer clay and sprinkles to create the effect of an earthen embankment.
Here is such a charm in a marine style that I got:
Other materials or the need for inventions is cunning
Sorry, dear readers, I do not want to offend anyone in any way. It's just that this expression best describes the impossibly diverse amount of materials with which people manage to create Christmas trees :))
From beads
Pretty simple, but interesting Christmas tree. Prepare for its creation chopped beads, a couple of beads and a thin wire for working with beads. First, string the top, as in photo 1. Then make four upper paws - this will be the top.
Now prepare the branches, in each of which make several loops - smaller for the upper branches, more for the lower ones. Gather all of them into one trunk, wrapping it across with a thin wire.
From plastic bottles
I respect this master class for respect for nature and waste recycling. Take a plastic bottle, cut off a smooth central part from it, which you cut into a fringe. The lid will go to the top, the bottom can be used as a delivery. Glue all the cut elements to the central rod.
From spools of thread
My friends, if you have a certain number of wooden spools of thread, then know that you are the owner of a treasure with which you can make an amazing fir tree. To do this, clean all the coils from the threads and glue the lowest row on a round dense base. Then glue row after row on the existing ones below. Simple and stylish
From sweets
The base will again be a paper cone. Attach a row of ordinary tinsel to it, then a row of sweets, then tinsel again, etc. You can glue the most delicious candy on the top (as a star). One minus - there will quickly be nothing left of the Christmas tree
From the bark
Strict Nordic Christmas trees. Which can be done if you have a paper cone and a little (okay, a little more than a little) bark on hand. Pieces need to be glued in rows so that the tree looks like a spruce.
I only ask you not to spoil living trees for this. It is better to look for already dumped by a thunderstorm. By the way, the method with small pieces is also applicable to CDs.
From sticks
We continue the theme of nature. This time we are decorating holiday boxes. Use sticks to lay out a semblance of a tree, which, in turn, decorate with threads, buttons and other decorative details.
From clothespins
This one definitely needs to be concocted for the New Year))) I have a dozen or two clothespins with hearts, it will be cool) In general, all you need is to build a rod with a stand. For example, a cap with a knitting needle. And already put on “branches” on the knitting needle. You can insert lollipops into the edges.
bohemian
And we will make this spruce with the help of feathers. The principle is the simplest - glue the feathers in rows from below. By the way, feathers can be purchased in woven. But what they painted in green - I don’t know. Maybe someone will tell?
From wire
Build the frame like this: wrap three circles of wire around something round (cans, buckets, etc.), so that each next circle is smaller (or larger) than the previous one. Then take three pieces and use thin wire to tie them together at the top and in one place on each circle.
All this can be wrapped in a beautiful garland. If you get smart, you can even hang a few Christmas decorations.
Mesh (and sisal)
Such a Christmas tree can be built in a few minutes. To do this, take a mesh or a sheet of sisal (read what it is). Put on a paper cone and wrap in several layers. Fasten with a cord from above, wrapping it with a spiral around the spruce. Decorate with Christmas decorations.
And now is the time for the most minimalistic Christmas trees, which will decorate the house and will not take up much space.
From ... Christmas balls
Here is such a pun - Christmas tree from Christmas balls. Nevertheless, it looks great. For some reason, I immediately imagined such a structure at some cool corporate party of a large company - it looks very status.
It’s not at all difficult to make this one: take a few dozen green (or whatever you want) balls and tie a thin thread or fishing line to each. The hardest part is getting the right length. Do this: Determine for yourself the right number of balls for each row and, starting from this, estimate the length of the thread. The higher the ball, the shorter the thread.
Symbol
That's what you can call the next two conifers. The first is located on the wall and is made up of pieces of tinsel imitating spruce branches. You can attach it with double-sided tape so that the ends do not stick out.
The second is simply skilfully assembled with the help of many paintings, badges, souvenirs, etc., which were collected in the likeness of a spruce. Pay attention to how some elements seem to imitate toys that are located on a tree. An interesting idea, by the way, for an original gift for February 14 - winter will still be in force, so the tree will be quite appropriate.
Well, dear readers, it's time for me to say goodbye to you. The spruce hit parade is over, share your impressions: what inspired you, what would you take note of, etc. Be sure to tell your friends on social. networks using the buttons below. Bye!
