Today, there are many ways and options to make a decorative Christmas tree with your own hands from improvised materials. Moreover, the materials can be very different:, threads, and even feathers. We will talk about the last method.
Making a Christmas tree out of feathers is quite simple, at the same time this creation looks very beautiful, and even airy.
Feathers are very christmas material for crafts - the resemblance to snow is obvious. Soaring white flakes of snow resemble fluff. Therefore, the Christmas tree, which will be discussed, is made of feathers.
The basis (trunk) for a Christmas tree made of feathers will be a cone folded from a sheet of white paper. Its size determines the size of the craft.
Each feather is desirable to decorate. If you have old small beads, then you can easily do this with their help. Glue one small bead to the tip of each feather (look at the picture).
Now we begin to glue the feathers to the Christmas tree. We start from the bottom and move to the crown, densely filling the space between the branches.
With such simple manipulations, we were able to make a Christmas tree out of feathers.
How to make a feather tree
For this winter beauty, you will need feathers - but not those with which pillows and down jackets are stuffed, but special decorative feathers. Their main difference is a special fluffiness and the same size. Such feathers are ideal for making a Christmas tree, which will turn out to be even and beautiful. Such feathers are sold in interior decor stores and needlework departments. They are packaged in bags and are different colors. In this example, white feathers are taken, but another color can be used.

If desired, the Christmas tree can be sprinkled with artificial snow, and it will look just like a real snow-covered Christmas tree in the forest. If you wanted a colored Christmas tree (like a traditional green one) but didn't find any green feathers for sale, you can spray paint the tree, but be very careful not to stick the feathers together.

Already very close New Year! We invite you to start thinking about the design of your home now. We offer a master class on creating a small but very attractive christmas decoration- Christmas trees made of feathers, which can cheer you up and make the anticipation of the holiday even more anticipated.
To create a Christmas tree from feathers, we need:
Thick cardboard
Hot gun, Moment-Crystal glue
Any light and small decor (beads, bows)
Feather tree step by step:
The first step is to sort the feathers: leave the small feathers for the top, and the larger feathers for the bottom of the tree. The edges of the feathers can be cut a little, so that they become sharper.
Make a cone out of white cardboard. To create a colored Christmas tree, the cone will need to be painted in the color of feathers or it is better to use colored cardboard.
Then start gluing feathers to the cone one by one, glue from the very bottom.
The Christmas tree can be decorated with beads, for which, before starting work, glue them on feathers. Do not forget that heavy decorative elements will pull the feathers down, so you need to choose the lightest decor details. You can use ribbon bows. Decorate the top with a ball glued with beads.
If you decide to create a colored Christmas tree from feathers, then grains of foam plastic to imitate snow are perfect as decor.
The feather tree is ready!

The New Year cannot do without a Christmas tree - this is a fact. fluffy beauty traditionally placed in the most prominent place in the room so that children can look for gifts from Santa Claus under it. However, is it really necessary to limit yourself to only one Christmas tree? It is quite possible to put it in every room. And it can be not only real, fragrant or expensive artificial, because you can make a Christmas tree yourself, small and charming, for example, from feathers. A Christmas tree made of feathers will turn out weightless and snow-white, as if powdered with snow.
Christmas tree materials
Feathers for our future Christmas tree won’t fit anyway, so don’t try to gut an old pillow, it’s better to look at a needlework and decor store. There feathers are sold in small bags. Their sizes are more or less the same, and it will be easier for you to sort them. This will be your first task.
After sorting the feathers, fluff them a little, in the bag they probably lost their shape a little, and faux Christmas tree should be no less fluffy than its real equivalent.
To make a Christmas tree, we also need:
- cardboard, preferably white;
- PVA glue;
- beads or large beads;
- spray paint, if you need to paint feathers.
Before we make a Christmas tree from individual feathers with our own hands, we need to decorate it in advance. Heavy and large jewelry will not suit us, so we return to the needlework store and buy small plastic beads there. Choose the colors of your choice, although silver beads would look good on a white Christmas tree. By choosing decorative elements carefully glue them to the tips of the feathers.
While everything dries, we will make the base. We need cardboard. If you chose white feathers for the Christmas tree, then the base should also be of the appropriate color. From white cardboard, make a cone, cutting off the excess, and glue the edges.
It is on this cone that we will glue the feathers. You need to start from the bottom. Gluing the feathers close to each other so that there is no gap between them, slightly bend their tips, imitating the branches of real fir trees. Layer by layer, following up, we get a sprawling winter tree. For a greater resemblance to the original, our craft can be sprinkled with artificial snow.
We can put our creation on the shelf just like that. However, it can be completed. We need all the same cardboard. Cut out from cardboard suitable color circle, with a diameter of the lower edge of the cone plus a millimeter, and glue it from below, after cutting out another small circle in the middle of this circle. We will insert a cardboard tube into it Brown This will be the trunk of our Christmas tree. It shouldn't be very long. For greater stability, you can use not cardboard, but a cork from champagne or wine, you just need to paint it in the desired color and glue it to the cardboard bottom of our craft - that's it, the feather tree is ready. You can enjoy the results of your work.
- If you did not find the feathers you need and bright colors, then it is quite possible to paint white feathers. For this, spray paint is suitable.
- When gluing beads, make sure that the glue does not spill over the entire feather, this will leave ugly stains on it, and glue the feathers together. For these reasons, it is undesirable to use the super moment.
- Beads with their weight should not burden the feathers, whose tips we slightly bend. If the beads still pull the feather to the ground, then replace them with large beads.
