It is necessary
Cones, spray with paint, brush, Whatman paper or cardboard, Moment glue, decorations on the Christmas tree
Instructions
Step 1
A very simple way to make an artificial Christmas tree is based on a cone. Any conifer cones harvested in advance, clean from debris and dry. Take a can of silver or gold spray paint and paint the bumps spread out on the newspaper.
Step 2
While the paint dries on the cones, prepare a cone from a Whatman paper or cardboard. What height it will be depends on your desire. To do this, roll up the sheet and fix it with glue or tape. Shape the bottom of the cone so that it can stand well on a solid and level surface.
Step 3
Take the cones and begin to glue the Moment glue to the outside of the cone. Begin gluing from the bottom row, for which choose larger buds. Fill the gaps between the cones with small cones. Glue the cone with cones up to the top of the cone. Strengthen the snowflake at the top. If you wish, you can decorate such a Christmas tree with tinsel and small toys. Cover the base of the tree with cotton wool.
Step 4
Another option for an artificial Christmas tree. Prepare another cone from cardboard or whatman paper. Paint it with green acrylic paint. Let the product dry. Glue strips of green paper onto the finished frame. Pre-roll the strips onto a pencil so that a curl is formed as a result.
Step 5
Grease one end of the curl with glue and stick to the cone. Start glueing from the bottom of the future Christmas tree. Reduce the length of the stripes from bottom to top. Cover the cone completely with stripes and you will have a fluffy herringbone. Glue a small cardboard star on top of the head.
Step 6
Make your little ones happy and make a Christmas tree out of balloons. To do this, inflate the green balloons and tie them tightly together. Make up the Christmas tree floors from 4-5 balls. Lay out the rows of balls in such a way that you get a pyramid. For strength, fasten the rows with double-sided tape. Decorate the top of this tree with a star-shaped balloon. Decorate with colorful tinsel and small toys that tape to the balls.
Step 7
There are a lot of options for creativity. Having made an artificial Christmas tree with your own hands, you will delight your loved ones and surprise your friends.
