On the eve of the New Year, I want to create a festive mood: decorate the house, give family and friends original gifts. It is very simple to do this by making simple crafts in the form of a Christmas tree with your own hands.
It is necessary
- - double-sided colored cardboard and green paper;
- - scissors;
- - pencil;
- - ruler;
- - glue;
- - cotton wool;
- - silk ribbon;
- - beads.
Instructions
Step 1
Try making Christmas trees out of simple materials such as paper and cardboard. For the first tree, take a sheet of double-sided green colored cardboard (you can make a tree of any color, for example, white) and fold it in half. At the fold, draw a half of the outline of the future Christmas tree. Do the same with the second piece of cardboard. Cut two identical pieces along the contour. On the workpieces along the fold, make cuts - on one from above to the middle of the Christmas tree, on the other - from below to the middle. Align the details of the Christmas tree by inserting them into each other with slots
Step 2
Second tree. Take double-sided green colored paper. Trace and cut the paper into strips about 20 cm long and 4-5 mm wide. You will need 11-12 of these strips. Place the ribbon on the toothpick. Peel it off and let it straighten a little, then glue the edge so that you get a small circle. Shape it into a triangle by squeezing the edges of the curl with both hands. Repeat this operation with all the cut strips. Squeeze the latter so that you get an asterisk. Lay out the triangles on the table, fold the Christmas tree, placing the star on top. Glue the details together, attach a loop of paper or thread so that the Christmas tree can be hung.
Step 3
Decorate the Christmas trees with your imagination and they will look very elegant! You can make snow from cotton wool: tear it into small pieces and stick it to the branches. Cut thin strips of colored paper, twist them with a pencil into springs. Then slightly dissolve some of them and glue the multi-colored curls on the herringbone. Straighten the remaining curls so that you get wavy ribbons, which also fasten to the tree. Make small bows from silk ribbons. Sew or glue a bead in the middle. The Christmas tree decorated with bows looks fun and perky!
