For the New Year holidays, many are trying to dress up their home in some unusual way, to prepare gifts for loved ones, made with their own hands. How to make a spruce branch from improvised and available materials so that you can decorate a room with such a craft, give it as a New Year's souvenir?
It is necessary
Green and brown woolen threads, knitting needles or hooks, green ribbon, colored paper, paper napkins, gouache, PVA glue or stationery, brush, base for the panel
Instructions
Step 1
An original spruce branch can be knitted from woolen threads. Take a look at this picture and, if you own a crochet or knitting needle, knit something similar. For a green branch, you need tough woolen threads of the same shade. A brown shade will need a thin wool to knit spruce cones from it. If the "needles" do not stick out on the product, as they should, to the sides, lubricate them with a strong soapy solution and let dry. Tie up the entire spruce branch and cones with a green satin ribbon.
Step 2
Take sheets of green and dark green paper up to 160 g density, paper napkins, wire, white gouache, PVA glue and a brush. First, make the Christmas tree "needles". To do this, sheets of green paper must be cut into thin strips, each 1-1.5 cm long. Then these strips are crushed under a fringe. Touch up the ends of the fringe with white gouache. This will give the branch a snowy look. You can take for this not white, but silver paint or another at your discretion. Use glue and wire to form spruce branches from green blanks. The tips can be wrapped with paper towels.
Step 3
Using colored paper and stationery glue, create a New Year's panel on which lay out spruce branches cut from sheets of green paper. Put on the spruce toys on the finished spruce branches. They should also be cut from colored paper of other shades. If you know the origami technique, then make the toys convex, and not in the form of an applique. Place snowflakes cut from light-colored paper or napkins and attached with glue around the entire panel. Such a panel can be hung on the wall, put on a shelf.
