Christmas tree from flower packaging. How to make a Christmas tree with your own hands. Interesting ideas and master classes with step-by-step photos Stringed on a rod

Good afternoon, today I am uploading the largest selection of Christmas trees made from paper. Here you will see the most interesting models - there will be Christmas trees made from crepe paper, from napkins, from cardboard, you will learn how to make a Christmas tree from a paper egg cassette, from toilet paper rolls and bags folded from book pages. In this selection of master classes We will consider only paper versions of the most beautiful DIY Christmas trees - both flat models and three-dimensional designs. Here are the ideal crafts for the New Year's school competition.

So let's get started.

Idea No. 1

Beautiful Christmas tree MADE OF PAPER FANS.

Even children will be happy to make such a voluminous Christmas tree. The principle of addition is very simple - you first need to make fan circles of different sizes. And then string these circles onto the SAME BASE ROD (which we used in the previous Christmas tree). Or you can do it without a rod - just glue the tiers on top of each other (by dripping a drop of glue in the middle of each “floor” of the Christmas tree.

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

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

This beautiful Christmas tree is made from bright paper napkins or sheets of gift paper.

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

Idea No. 2

Christmas tree box MADE OF PAPER.

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

Since the layout of the drawing above requires a large square piece of paper, I give a more economical way to consume paper space (pattern diagram in the photo below). You can cut out the tree blades separately, two at a time. And then fold them, glue them crosswise.

Idea No. 3

BLADE Christmas tree made of cardboard.

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

How many wing blades can such a cardboard Christmas tree have?

You can make a four-bladed Christmas tree by connecting two flat pieces crosswise. To do this, in each Christmas tree silhouette you need to make a cut along the central center line to the center of the Christmas tree. On one part, the cut is made on the TOP HALF of the silhouette - on the second part, the cut is placed on the LOWER HALF of the silhouette.

I found this Christmas tree stencil made from paper, but you can take any other shape of a Christmas tree with any lines of legs (smooth, rounded, curling upward, etc.).

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

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

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

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

Idea No. 4

Christmas tree made of paper circles.

Here's another idea volumetric Christmas tree from paper. We make this Christmas tree from ordinary flat paper circles. We fold each circle multiple times along DIAMETERAL LINES. We align each fold edge with alternation - one up, one down, one up, one down, etc. Detailed master class in the photo below.

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

Idea No. 5

Flat Christmas tree USING ORIGAMI TECHNIQUE.

Here's another simple one example of origami technique to create a modular Christmas tree out of paper.

Here we simply fold paper modules from a square napkin (the napkin is folded in half along the floors, and then unfolded and folded in half again, but this time DIAGONALLY.

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

From several of these bladed modules-tiers we create a Christmas tree - simply by gluing it onto a flat base. Often such an origami Christmas tree made of paper can be seen as an applique on a New Year's card.

Idea #6

Christmas tree made of PAPER,

strung ON A ROD.

If we have a rod that we have forced to stand exactly vertically and not fall, then by stringing a variety of paper silhouettes onto it, we can get a New Year’s tree craft.

The main rule that must be followed is to ensure that the lower paper silhouettes are larger than the upper ones. That is, so that the size of the parts decreases as you move up to the top of the tree.

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

And here's what Christmas tree (pictured below), which is made from STRIPES of felt, but it can also be made from strips of colored paper or cardboard).

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

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

And cut out 2 identical circles from cardboard. Leave one cardboard disk intact. And in the middle of the second disk we make a round hole (punch it with a nail and widen it so that a cocktail tube can fit through). Threaded into a cardboard disk cut the tube with scissors from the bottom side(vertical cuts of 1 cm - chick-chick - like we cut straws for blowing soap bubbles). We push these cuts apart like rays of the sun. And we get this “ray-shaped spread-leg”. We place this splayed leg on the second cardboard disk (the one that remains intact, without a hole).

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

STEP TWO. We string the material for the “feather” of the Christmas tree onto the rod.

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

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

Idea No. 7

TIERED Christmas tree

made of paper or cardboard.

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

I’ll show you exactly how to string the cones onto a rod so that there is air between them (and so that they don’t form like little balls of each other) using the example of white lace Christmas trees made of paper, which we see in the photo below.

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

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

The beads between the cones will prevent them from running into each other. And our Christmas tree will turn out airy.

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

You can use sheets of colored office paper.

Idea #8

Christmas tree made of crepe paper.

Here is another beautiful children's Christmas tree made of paper. Here we need a BASE for the Christmas tree in the form of a tall paper CONE. We cut out a semicircle from paper and roll it into a consu bag.

Cut the crepe paper for long wide ribbons. Then along the paper tape make fringe cuts. Next, we wrap our paper consu with this paper ribbon with fringe - starting from the bottom and gradually in a spiral, turn by turn, moving towards the top. Each incised twist the petal into a curl.

This Christmas tree craft is suitable for classes at school or a Skillful Hands mug in kindergarten.

Idea No. 9

Christmas tree made of crepe paper.

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

This children's craft is convenient for conducting a lesson in a school creativity club.

Idea #10

Volumetric Christmas tree made from CONE

(6 ways to decorate)

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

Here the main monotony of labor is cutting multi-hundred circles. And then there is a gradual pasting of these circles in the form of scales - starting from the bottom rows of the cone and gradually moving to the top of the tree-cone. Children who often sit idle in anticipation of the New Year holidays will be happy to be distracted by such a children's New Year's tree craft. And this will benefit you, no one will hang around the kitchen and disturb you in preparing the New Year's table.

Such a cone-tree can be placed on a long stem-leg. And place the rod on a plasticine pedestal. We make a thick round cake from plasticine. We bury the base of the rod in plasticine. We decorate the plasticine sole with cardboard and pieces of moss or other natural material (bark, peeled pine cone scales, etc.).

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

Can be done made of fabric (or paper) triangular folds. Fold the square in half diagonally, and in half again. Layer the corners of the triangle on top of each other so that the triangle curls up like a ladle. We will glue the side of the ladle to the cone-base of the tree.


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

You can also use it to cover a Christmas tree. paper cupcake cups. How this is done in the figure below. This children's craft will be a real New Year's entertainment for your children. Simple and fast - and very beautiful.

Idea No. 11

Christmas tree with paper straw decoration.

And here is another Christmas tree based on a paper cone. Here, small paper shavings are used as material for gluing the cone. You may find these shavings in boxes used to ship fragile items. Or cut such straws with office paper scissors yourself - make a large pile of shavings and decorate the Christmas tree using regular PVA glue.

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

The Christmas tree can be placed on a pedestal made of round log cuts. And crown it with a star. You don’t have to buy it either - you can make such a star with your own hands from an ordinary newsprint. I explained how such a star is made in the article.

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

Idea No. 12

Christmas tree

from paper rolls.

Here is a Christmas tree made from paper rolls. We roll up rolls from ordinary sheets of paper (even from office drafts), attach them with a stapler or glue (so as not to unfold).

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

Using this principle, you can make a bright Christmas tree if you roll rolls from colored table napkins.

You can put a rolled Christmas tree on a long stick and stick it into a flower pot with soil.

Below is a classic way to create such a Christmas tree from paper rolls.

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

Such paper bags can create a Christmas tree on any plane - on the wall or on the office door. A quick and easy way to make a beautiful office decoration for the New Year. I’ve collected even more New Year’s decor ideas for cabinets and office spaces in a special article


Idea No. 13

Christmas tree using QUILLING technique.

(4 ways from flat to voluminous)

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

It's simple.

STEP1 - paper is cut into strips.

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

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

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

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

Such a children's craft can be offered during classes in a school creativity club. You can do it together with grandmothers and children for a competition in kindergarten.

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

You can make Christmas trees using the quilling technique to suit any fancy shape.

DOUBLE-LAYER Christmas tree using quilling technique.

But here is a Christmas tree made of paper using the same technique - where quilling modules are glued not to a sheet of paper, but to themselves - that is, they are stuck together with their sides facing each other. And such gluing of paper twists is laid in two layers


Quilling Christmas tree made of paper - ON THE ROD.

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

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

You can glue the twist droplets with their sides down, as was done on the Christmas tree in the picture below.

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

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

You can make a simple quilling Christmas tree from weak loops and curlicues from cardboard or thick non-quilling paper (as done in the photo below).

Quilling Christmas tree made of paper - BASED ON A CONE.

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

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

You can involve children in this craft. They will be happy to add modules. And then they will help you paste them over the Christmas tree pyramid. A good children's New Year's craft.

Idea No. 14

Christmas tree made from bushings

from toilet paper

Here's another idea for a paper Christmas tree. Here, the material used is rolls of cardboard and paper of different diameters. You can use rolls of adhesive tape and masking tape, supplement them with cardboard rolls from toilet paper (shortening them to the height of the adhesive rolls), you can use narrow tubes from office fax paper (also cut into short lengths). Twist homemade cardboard rolls.

And from such prefabricated material, fold and glue a Christmas tree. Rolls can be glued together using a glue gun or double-sided tape. A simple craft that children will enjoy participating in.

You can only use toilet paper rolls that are the same size. And make a pyramid-shaped Christmas tree out of them. First, we paint the rolls green, dry them, and glue them. To prevent the gouache paint from sticking to your hands and staining your clothes, you need to spray the dyed and dried rolls with hairspray - the paint will set and the color will become brighter.

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

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

Here's another way to construct a Christmas tree from paper rolls. There is a more economical consumption of material here, since the herringbone empty inside. They're just made from rolls rings– (rolls just stick together in a round dance with your sides. And then like this round dance rings made from rolls are placed on top of each other and New Year's Christmas balls are placed in their bells. We first paint the rolls in the desired color.

These are the ideas for a DIY paper Christmas tree that I have collected today in this article. Now you can choose a simple and beautiful way to make a Christmas tree for yourself. Good luck with your New Year's creativity and beautiful Christmas tree crafts. May everything work out now and in your New Year.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.

The words of a familiar children's song claim that “the Christmas tree, the Christmas tree, the scent of the forest, makes us happy with every needle.” It’s hard to disagree with the fact that the main attribute of the New Year celebration is the Christmas tree, which always brings joy to both adults and children. And since not everyone is able to acquire a natural forest beauty, we suggest making a Christmas tree with your own hands. We will save nature and involve the whole family in a pleasant pastime. And such a tree will delight you much more, because it was made from the heart!

The first step in making most Christmas trees is a cardboard frame in the shape of a cone. Making it couldn’t be easier, you just need to decide on the size of the future Christmas tree and select a sheet of cardboard. Using glue, tape or a stapler, secure the cone. We put crumpled newspapers and paper inside the cone to make it stable. Cover the bottom of the cone with a circle cut out of cardboard. Now it’s time for a flight of fancy, because there are a lot of ideas for creating a New Year’s attribute, all that remains is to choose the one you like and get to work.

To make such a forest beauty you will need multi-layer napkins, glue, a stapler, scissors, beads for decoration and a lot of patience. You can take napkins in the usual green color, or you can use any other color. After all, our Christmas tree is magical! A Christmas tree made from napkins of different colors and textures looks great.

We involve the children in the work: fold the napkin in several layers, cut out a circle, and fasten it in the center with a stapler. Then we form petals from each layer by folding. The end result is fluffy volumetric flower. Their number will depend on the height of the tree, but you will have to make at least 60 of them. Then, using glue, we attach the flowers in a circle to the cone, starting from its base. Fluffy bright beauty is ready! Now you can decorate with beads by attaching them to the middle of the flowers.

Another simple version of the original New Year's beauty. To make it you will need a kilogram pasta like “feathers”, although you can use spirals, bows, and even shells, the main thing is to glue them correctly onto the cardboard cone. You also need glue (it is advisable to take a heat gun for convenience), a cardboard cone, ribbons and beads for decoration. The operating procedure is simple:

  • onto the cone, starting from the bottom, glue pasta feathers in a circle;
  • the splendor of the New Year's forest beauty depends on their location and angle of gluing;
  • tier by tier we glue the needles to the very top;
  • let it dry and start decorating;
  • paint the Christmas tree green (or any other color) using spray paint;
  • For decoration we use beads, ribbon bows and even plasticine figures.

It's the turn of the usual plastic bottle! Not only the craftsmen from the famous “Crazy Hands” section can make a space rocket out of it, we will also try to make an original New Year tree.

To do this, take a cardboard cone or plastic tube, tape or glue, and several green bottles. Their number depends on how fluffy our Christmas tree will be. We cut off the bottom and neck of each, cut out several plastic strips from the middle, cut them with scissors, not cutting 1 cm to the end. Using a knife, we bend each strip, this way we get a fluffy twig. Now we wrap each strip around a cone or tube and secure it with tape or glue. So we move from the base to the top. The Christmas tree is ready, decorate it with red bows, snowflakes and beads.

Christmas trees made from wrapping paper

Bright wrapping paper is an excellent material for creating a Christmas tree with your own hands. It’s easy and simple to make: wrap a cardboard cone with this paper and secure it with glue. But for decoration we use ordinary napkins, for example, red. We twist them into flagella and glue them to the Christmas tree in the form of spirals and curls.

Another masterpiece of family handicraft will delight everyone throughout the long New Year and Christmas holidays! Good luck and creative bursts in the New Year!

Small knitted Christmas tree for the office

Sometimes you even want to decorate your office for the holiday. Bulky decorations will not be appropriate here, but a small Christmas tree, giving a New Year's mood, will fit perfectly on a table or on a windowsill.

Let's prepare the materials in advance. The list is relative, since you can use anything that comes to hand at the moment of creativity as decoration:

  • Hook;
  • Green and dark brown yarn;
  • A little artificial filler or cotton wool;
  • Thick thread or twine;
  • A couple of tablespoons of alabaster or plaster (even ordinary putty will do);
  • A small stick (can be replaced with a pencil);
  • Beads, sparkles, ribbons, decorative stones;
  • Glue.

Let's make a Christmas tree.

To do this, we crochet 15 chain stitches and knit two rows with single crochets. Third row - we make decreases in the amount of two columns on each side.

We knit the fourth without changes.

Fifth - again decrease by two columns on each side.

We continue until there are two columns left, and that’s it.

We received the first half of the Christmas tree.

The second half is knitted identically to the first. After both are ready, they need to be connected.

We also connect with a crochet, by circular tying (two columns into one) around the entire perimeter of the tree. We start from the middle of the base of the tree, leaving room for the leg.

We replace the green yarn with brown and begin knitting the tree leg (hemp). In the same way as we did the circular binding, we knit a brown leg in a circle. A couple of centimeters will be enough.

After the leg is ready, you can fill the Christmas tree with filler or regular cotton wool. You don’t need to use a lot of filler, otherwise the tree will turn out round, which is useless.

It's time for decorations. You can decorate with any small beads, stars, bows, beads, sparkles - the main thing is to avoid a careless appearance. Everything should be in moderation. We attach it with regular instant glue, it will hold securely.

Christmas tree base.

The base will be a thin stick or pencil. We wrap it tightly in a circle with twine, securing it with a knot at the ends on both sides. They will not be visible in the future, but the thread will not unravel.

Christmas tree pot.

You can use a specially purchased pot, but this is too simple. Since we are making the Christmas tree with our own hands, we will also make the pot ourselves.

We take a cap from hairspray or deodorant that is suitable in size for the resulting Christmas tree. We pour 1/3 of water into it, fill the remaining 2/3 with dry plaster (plaster or alabaster). Knead thoroughly, insert the base for the Christmas tree in the center. Let it harden for a couple of hours. In such small volumes the mixture will harden quickly.

After the mixture has hardened, we begin decorating the cap itself. The decoupage technique is familiar to many. Let's use it as a basis.

Using table napkins and PVA glue, completely glue the cap; if desired, you can model a different shape for it. Again, we leave it to dry for several hours, after which we paint it with acrylic paints (gouache or any other) in the desired color and leave it to dry for another thirty minutes.

Final assembly of the Christmas tree.

Assembling the Christmas tree into a single whole will not be difficult. All that remains is to place the tree itself on the base and secure it with instant glue for reliability. We place decorative stones in the space remaining in the pot; they do not need to be glued.

Good afternoon dear friends. We continue to prepare for the New Year and prepare crafts for this holiday that can easily be turned into gifts. In the last article we looked at it in general, and today we will create Christmas trees in a narrow manner. Link previous article.

Today's crafts will be made exclusively from paper. And there are so many instructions that with a normal approach, even a child can handle creating a Christmas tree. And if you don’t think it’s enough, you can try to make or create it yourself.

Well, for now we will begin to create beautiful forest beauties that will decorate your home throughout the holidays. And if you make a few pieces, you can assemble a whole fairy-tale forest on the window.

Take a regular sheet of paper. Of course, ideally it is better to take green, but white will do. We bend the sheet in two along the long side and draw the diagram shown in the photo below.


After applying the design, cut along the lines and bend as shown below. We make three blanks, and then glue them together. It turns out very beautiful and stylish. I am sure you will not see such Christmas trees anywhere else.


The following set of templates for making will allow you to create a Christmas tree in 3D format. You need to save and print the templates. We draw the diagram on a sheet of paper folded in two along the long side. And then we cut it out.



We cut along the main contour, and where the lines go inside we only make cuts. We bend the cuts at the end. Here, too, it is necessary to make two identical blanks in order to glue them together at the end and get volume.


If you wish, you can cut out more than just a Christmas tree. And a Christmas tree together with a fawn or a small Christmas tree standing next to it.



If desired, any craft can be painted to make it stand out from the rest of the Christmas trees. You can also use paints that glow in the dark.


And here is proof that children really love to do their own handicrafts.


Our beauties are ready. It turned out simply gorgeous. How do you like this idea?



For the next Christmas tree, it’s better to immediately take colored paper and immediately make a green Christmas tree. The tree is created from loops and curls.




On that score, if there was something you didn’t understand from the photo, I’ll leave a video on how to create such a masterpiece.

Christmas tree using origami technique (simple diagram for children with description)

Many people have been able to fold various figures from a sheet of paper since childhood. Well, remember they made airplanes or boats, all this is a simple origami technique. And I simply cannot help but talk about the fact that you can make a Christmas tree using the origami technique.


In order to fold the Christmas tree, you need to find an old book without a thick cover or a notebook with writing on it. Found it? Now let's continue, we wrap all the pages from the left corner to the middle. And so on every one. Therefore, a book that is too thick will not work.


Then we bend all the pages into a bag again.



The lower ponytail will need to be trimmed using scissors. Try to do everything slowly and carefully.



The product is completely ready. All that remains is to straighten out all the pages and sprinkle them with glitter.

How about this idea? The Christmas tree is a little more complicated to make, but it turns out more beautiful. First, train on a white sheet, and then when you understand the whole process, you can do it on a green one.




The following beauty can be offered to children during a labor lesson in elementary school. All instructions are provided below.



How to make a three-dimensional Christmas tree from corrugated paper for the New Year 2019

As promised above, today there will be various options for making forest green beauties. And for the next craft you will need special corrugated paper or crepe paper. You will get a very beautiful Christmas tree.

You will need to find:

  • cardboard or thick paper
  • corrugated green staple paper
  • scissors
  • red paper
  • various bows
  • beads

Production stages:

We make a beautiful tall cone out of cardboard and cover it with green paper.



Make the strips about 10 cm long. We wrap each strip on a thin wooden stick or on a small brush to make a bud like this.


Fluff each bud and glue it to a paper cone. For a cone about 10-15 cm high, you will need to make over a hundred of these curls. To decorate the Christmas tree, you can use both ready-made and homemade bows. Christmas balls can be made from cotton balls sprinkled with glitter.


If the first option is too difficult for you, I suggest another option for making a Christmas tree from corrugated paper. It is less labor intensive.

We make the base of the Christmas tree from cardboard. You will need green paper, 18 cm wide and 2 meters long. We fold it in two along the entire length. Apply glue to the edge, leaving a free strip of 2 cm.


Glue and pull together to make a small skirt.



Next, we decorate our cone in a spiral with this blank. Don't forget to glue the strip to the cone. Finally, we decorate with improvised toys.


Or here’s another option for making a New Year’s beauty. We cut multi-colored strips 2-3 cm wide and wrap each strip around a cardboard cone to the very top.


Or you can do it like this.


New Year's beauty made of colored paper and cardboard

To make such a Christmas tree you need to make some blanks, three semicircles of different diameters. On each semicircle we make small cuts to create a fringe.

Creative DIY Christmas tree




If you want something original, or you simply don’t have enough space for a large Christmas tree at home, you can try making such a simple design.

It is worth noting that such a Christmas tree is suitable for any room. It can be done both at home with children and at work.

This tree can rise 1.5-2 meters and takes up almost no space in the house. In addition, it is a good background for New Year's photography.

You will need:

Foam base or matte cardboard

Scissors

Corrugated paper

Masking tape

Adhesive tape

PVA glue

Stationery knife

Marker, optional



1. Lay out foam or cardboard on a flat surface to create a large rectangle (see picture).

2. Use duct tape to connect all the parts.

*This example used black duct tape for better visibility, but white tape is better.

3. Mark the size of your future Christmas tree using masking tape.

4. Using a utility knife, carefully cut out the shape of the future tree.

5. Prepare corrugated paper, fold it in half and cut the fringe. You should have many sheets of fringed paper to cover the entire tree.

6. Begin carefully gluing the corrugated paper to the foam, starting at the base of the tree. The fringe should hang slightly below the base to cover the foam (or cardboard), and also slightly cover the top of the tree trunk, which we will make later.




7. Work your way up to the top, covering the entire tree with a bright green coat of crepe paper.

8. Add a hook to the back of the tree so the tree can be hung. Instead of a hook, you can use double tape to cover the perimeter of the tree.
