OPTION 2

Very original Christmas tree you can make it with your own hands from pine cones. But we will not use the whole cones, but will use only their scales so that the tree is not too bulky.

So, first, let's separate its scales from the cone. This can be done with a sharp knife, wire cutters or pruning shears.

3.

The next step from thick paper or cardboard we will make a cone, which will be the base of our Christmas tree. We roll the paper into a cone, glue it on the side and cut off the excess at the base.

Then we simply take the scales in our hands and glue them in a circle, starting from the base of the cone.

You can glue each new row in a checkerboard pattern, or, like here, on top of each other.

You can glue a spice like cloves to the very top of your head)

DIY New Year's toys are always something special. They bring warmth and homeliness and are certainly an interesting gift. In addition, they are always original and will undoubtedly attract the attention of all guests.

At the same time, making New Year's toys with your own hands is not at all difficult. Let's start with these Christmas trees :)

To begin, we will cut out blanks for future Christmas trees from thick cardboard (my Christmas trees are 12 cm high and 9 cm wide). I use kraft cardboard for this - it is thick enough to withstand a wide variety of manipulations, and also pleasant to look at.

Option 1. Lace plus paper. Production time 15 minutes.

By using sewing machine Sew cotton lace to the bottom edge of the Christmas tree. In order not to make a mistake with the length of the lace piece, I first sew it on and then cut it off.

We retreat from the sewn edge a distance of about one and a half times greater than the width of the lace, and sew on the next frill. To prevent the lace from creeping up or down during the sewing process, I make a mark with a pencil where I need to arrive.

In the same way we sew all the frills onto the Christmas tree.

From scrapbooking paper we cut out pieces one and a half times wider than the width of the lace, one of the long edges of which is made into lace using a hole punch or curly scissors.

Carefully glue the strips under the lace, and sew them on a machine if desired.

We make the top like this.

We cut off the excess paper. As a result, we get a Christmas tree like this. You can apply glitter, snow flakes, glue pearls on it - in general, decorate it to your liking.

The reverse looks like this, but that doesn’t bother us for now :), we’ll deal with it a little later.

Variants of the same Christmas tree: instead of paper lace, you can use any ribbons sewn in the same way as lace; or decorative ribbons with roses

Option 2. Lace plus mini buttons. Production time 15 minutes.

We start in the same way as in the first option - sew on the lace.

We wait 1-2 minutes for the glue to “set” a little, after which we glue mini-buttons onto it in a chaotic manner.

In general, I am a big fan of sewn buttons, but in this case my hand trembled :), and I decided to put the needle and thread aside and use a simpler and in a fast way.

Other variations on the same theme: instead of mini-buttons - any ordinary buttons or rhinestones or pearls or small paper roses.

OPTION 6

From tinsel

OPTION 7

A simpler version of a Christmas tree made from ribbons is to simply attach a ribbon folded in half to the base. Moreover, you can attach it as satin ribbons, and paper (paper for scrapbooking).

OPTION 8

OPTION 9

New Year- these are not only gifts and a lot of all sorts of goodies. On the eve of the holiday, you can give your child the joy of creativity and self-expression. Admiring an already “decorated” Christmas tree is, of course, great, but it’s much more interesting to make decorations with my own hands and watch how the house gradually turns into a fabulous New Year's forest! What would a forest be like without a Christmas tree? We invite you to make an amazing New Year tree , which will be an excellent holiday decoration for your home.

To work we need thick green paper, glue, scissors, a round wooden stick and a bead.

1. Cut out 3-4 circles of different diameters from thick green paper. We fold each circle in half four times and draw it along the fold line several times with a hard object. Using scissors, cut a small piece from the top of each folded circle.

2. Take a wooden stick and place the smallest circle on it. The tip of the stick should protrude no more than 5 mm. Carefully place the remaining circles through the bottom of the stick. Lubricate the hole in the top of the largest circle with glue and attach the circle to the stick with glue. This is how we fix our entire structure.

3. Now our Christmas tree can be attached to the base. For example, a wine cork. We put a bead on the top of the Christmas tree, where we left a gap of 5 mm. Our Christmas tree is ready!

DIY New Year's toy - “coffee tree”

It often happens that the holidays are just around the corner, but you still aren’t in a festive mood. And I really want, like in childhood, to wait for the arrival of the New Year, miracles, gifts and the fulfillment of desires. From my own experience, I can say that mood is born from little things and often comes in the creative process. To feel the coming holidays, you can decorate your apartment for the New Year, start cooking or making something special. For example, a fragrant Christmas tree made of fabric and coffee. Why not? Moreover, the materials for this wonderful Christmas tree you need a little.

Materials for creating a DIY coffee tree:
sheet of cardboard small jar, for example, from under baby food coffee beans a small piece of fabric or burlap varnish (you can do without coating) Almost everyone also has the tools necessary for the work.

Tools for making a Christmas tree from coffee beans and fabric:
tweezers compasses glue (it is very convenient to use a hot glue gun) brush scissors needle and thread We do not indicate the sizes and quantities, since it all depends on what materials you use, as well as on the intended size Christmas tree. The process of creating this tree is simple and exciting. You can turn on some favorite New Year's movie in the background, and you will immediately feel that the New Year is already very close, and miracles are knocking on your door.

Making a coffee tree with your own hands
We make a cone from cardboard or thick paper. If you need a larger Christmas tree, you can use leftover wallpaper for the base. We glue the cone well around the edges. We put it on the table, check that it should be stable and tight.

For the base, select a jar of suitable size with a screw-on lid.

Glue coffee beans onto the jar. The grains need to be glued on the same side, so the jar will look neater. It is convenient to take the grains with tweezers to protect your fingers from glue and burns (if you use a hot glue gun).

When the coffee beans are securely attached to the can, we proceed to the second layer, which we use to close any possible cracks and gaps between the beans.

The result should be a jar that looks like it consists of coffee beans. Only the neck is not covered so that the jar can be closed with a lid. The grains on the jar can be varnished. Then the leg of the tree will be smoother and glossier, but this will reduce the coffee aroma.

Let's get to the Christmas tree itself. If the size of the Christmas tree is large, and the frame (cardboard cone) does not seem rigid and stable enough, then it can be strengthened by simply filling it with something from the inside. This could be paper, napkins, fabric, etc. We cut the fabric or burlap for the external decoration of the Christmas tree to the size of the cone.

Glue the fabric to the cone, stretching and smoothing it.

Cover the bottom with a circle of cardboard.

We also cover the circle with cloth.

We will decorate the Christmas tree with patches. To do this, cut out identical small squares from fabric.

We remove several threads along the edges of the squares to form a neat fringe.

We glue the patches to the fabric on the cone. Glue coffee beans to the corners of each patch. This way we decorate the entire cone.

8.

Now that the cone and jar are ready, let's move on to the lid of the jar. It must be decorated and glued to the bottom of the cone. If desired, it can be decorated with coffee beans (gluing the edges with them) or fabric (we will dwell on this method in more detail). Cut a thin strip from the fabric. Using a needle and thread, we form equal folds on a strip of fabric, and then glue the fabric to the lid.

All that's left is to glue the lid to the bottom of the cone.

Christmas decoration ready! It can also serve as a nice gift, either on its own or as a jar of coffee. Christmas decoration Festive mood and miracles to you!

AND A FEW CREATIVE IDEAS:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!!!

Time flies by unnoticed. It would seem that just recently we celebrated the New Year and celebrated Christmas, but outside the window it is already autumn. With the onset of the first cold weather, there is a desire to begin preparing for the upcoming holidays, delighting yourself and your loved ones with a small miracle. And the first thing that arises is the question of purchasing the most important attribute of the New Year - a Christmas tree. Without this fluffy beauty, the mood will not be the same.

The first of these concerns form. As a rule, Christmas trees are made in the form of a cone or an isosceles triangle. However, the form does not have to be correct. You can make a craft Christmas tree at an angle and with any number of tiers.

The next tip concerns the color of your piece. And it doesn't have to be green. You can make your Christmas tree white, yellow, silver, gold or even blue. Don’t be afraid to deviate from the standard rules, because your fluffy beauty should be a real miracle.

A very important point in the work is the fastening of the craft. This will need to be thought out in advance. The details of the Christmas tree can be fastened with tape or glue, wire and other materials. It should be taken into account that this will need to be done carefully and reliably, because the Christmas tree should please you with its appearance and survive throughout the holidays.

Particular attention should be paid to the top. According to tradition, this detail serves as a decoration for the crown of the spruce. The top of your tree can be any toy, star, ball or just a curved spiral. A decoration in the form of a symbol of the coming year or an angel will look interesting.

Origami

What can you make a Christmas tree from? The easiest and fastest way to make it is to use paper. In addition, made in miniature sizes, such a craft will become a wonderful New Year's toy.

How you can do this To do this, you will need to prepare in advance all the materials necessary for the work:
- sheets of paper, which can be magazine, book or simply blank;
- stapler;
- scissors;
- glue;
- glitter or spray paint;
- a ribbon or paper clip for hanging the craft on the Christmas tree.

When starting work, all the leaves must be placed in a stack and secured with a stapler. Next, you should draw the outline of the tree with a pencil and cut it out. The next stage of work consists of bending the leaves and painting them with glitter glue or spray paint. The finishing touch is to glue a ribbon or attach a paper clip.

The second manufacturing method is more troublesome. However, the beauty of the resulting craft will certainly delight you. So, for work you will need:
- book pages;
- cardboard;
- glue;
- scissors;
- mini-toys, stars and ribbons for decorating the Christmas tree.

The first stage of work consists of making a cone-shaped base from cardboard. Next, you should put the leaves one on top and make cuts on them, but only on one side. After this, the entire base is glued over. In this case, the uncut side of the paper is placed on the cone. To cover the top you will need to make a “lid”. That's all. The Christmas tree is ready. Now it can be covered with glitter or spray paint.

What can you use to make a Christmas tree for the competition of artificial green beauties? Instead of regular paper, you can use corrugated paper to make a tree. Such material will be a valuable find for the home designer. Christmas tree made from corrugated paper, will look unusual and very beautiful. It will certainly stand out among other crafts.

What can you make a Christmas tree from? The basis of your craft may not be cardboard cone, and the tube. This part can be purchased at a hardware store or glued together from several leftover rolls toilet paper. With this option, the cone is made of colored paper, attached to cardboard with tape. At the end of the work, the top of our Christmas tree will need to be decorated with a bow made of ribbons.

You can use polystyrene foam as the basis for making a New Year's beauty. Strips of paper folded in the form of needles are attached to it.

The Christmas tree can also be made in the form of a panel. For this craft, you will need to cut strips of paper and then roll them into tubes different lengths. Next, all the parts are glued onto a herringbone-shaped base. Ready product decorated at your discretion.

What else can you make a Christmas tree from? From toilet paper. This option for making a New Year's beauty is the simplest and most economical. On initial stage work, a cone is constructed, the material for which is white cardboard. The dimensions of this part can be different and depend on the desired height of the final product. Next, take toilet paper. It should not have tear strips, that is, the cheapest option will do. Toilet paper should be folded lengthwise, and then, after gathering it, stick it on the cone from the base to the top, like an American skirt.

The strip should remain intact. The resulting Christmas tree should be decorated with green gouache. At this stage, you can involve children in the work.

What can you use to make a Christmas tree toy made from such thin material? From the same toilet paper. A piece of it should be rolled into a ball, coated with PVA glue, decorated and glued to the Christmas tree.

Crafts from pine cones

In order to bring joy to your family and friends, what can you do for the New Year? Christmas tree made of pine cones. For many, working with this natural material will be a real pleasure.

They are considered to be one of the most beautiful. In addition, this is one of the best options for those who are thinking about the following question: “What can you use to make a Christmas tree for the homemade New Year’s tree competition?”

There are several options. The easiest and simplest of them involves creating a cone of the required size and gluing cones onto it. Work should start from the bottom, gradually moving to the top of the cone. What kind of toys can be made for the Christmas tree from pine cones? Finished craft painted or decorated with bows, candies, toys, tinsel, etc.

What can you make a Christmas tree from (see photo below)? The second method of making a New Year's beauty involves using not whole cones, but their scales.

The basis of such a Christmas tree will be the same cardboard cone. Scales of cones are glued to it from the bottom in a circle, which will play the role of needles. At the final stage of work, the Christmas tree is coated with green, silver or gold paint. As additional decoration Glue glitter to the tips of the needles.

The basis for a Christmas tree made of cones can be a cone cut out of polystyrene foam. It will need to be painted in some way dark color. For the craft you will also need wire.

One end of it is wrapped around the tail of the cones, and the other is straightened. After the required number of such blanks has been made, they will need to be attached to the base. To do this, the free end of the wire is inserted into the foam.

Autumn version

What can you make a Christmas tree out of for the New Year? From dry leaves. To do this, the material prepared in the fall is glued to paper cone, creating a wonderful tree. Such a tree will be made from twigs of walnut and cherry, holly and salal, ruscus, etc. Bay leaves are also suitable as green material.

There are two ways to make such a Christmas tree. The first of them involves gluing the leaves to a cardboard cone created in the required dimensions. The crown of such a tree is formed from top to bottom. In this case, the leaves are glued on top of each other.

The next method of making an “autumn” Christmas tree is somewhat more complicated. At the first stage, a base is made in the form of an ordinary cone made of cardboard. Next, holes are pierced at the ends of the branches with leaves, through which a fishing line or thin twine is pulled. This creates a kind of garland. This part is wrapped around a cone, pre-lubricated with glue.

New Year's beauty made from pasta

What other Christmas tree can you make with your own hands? A New Year's tree made from pasta will look very original. It's not difficult to make. In addition, today pasta is sold in different sizes and shapes, which will make your Christmas tree simply fantastic.

The first stage of work is the manufacture of a cardboard case. The workpiece must be painted in the desired color. For this purpose they are used acrylic paint, spray or gouache. Next you should take the pasta different forms and use PVA glue to glue them to the cone. At the same time, the design of a fabulous spruce should be prompted by your imagination.

Work should be continued until the pasta covers the entire body. After the glue has dried, the finished Christmas tree needs to be painted in two layers.

Tree made of thick fabric

What can you make a Christmas tree from? To create a New Year's beauty, felt is sometimes used. This material holds its shape perfectly and does not crumble. Felt can be used instead of felt. For contrast, it is advisable to take the material in two different colors.

First of all, a cardboard cone is made. Next, circles of various diameters are cut out of felt (from smallest to largest). Christmas tree tinsel is glued to the bottom of the cone with glue or double tape. After this, felt circles are strung onto the tree blank, in which crosswise cuts are first made. The fabric parts fit tightly onto the cone. The top of such a Christmas tree is decorated with a felt cap or tinsel, pre-lubricated with glue.

New Year's beauty made of threads

You can make a “woolen” Christmas tree with your own hands. To do this, you need to charge yourself with a positive attitude and start creating beauty. The first step is to twist a sheet of paper or cardboard into a pyramid, securing it along the contour with glue or tape. Next, take thick woolen threads (necessarily fluffy) and wind them in circles on the base from bottom to top. It is important that the product is neat and even.

The threads should not overlap the adjacent row. For those who make such a Christmas tree for the first time, things may not go well at first. There will definitely be “harmful” threads that will constantly come off. How to get out of this situation? For convenience, the edge of the thread can be attached with a pin. After finishing the work, a conventional garland should be placed on our Christmas tree. It is made from thin threads.

A small pompom will serve as decoration for the top of the New Year's beauty. To make it, you should cut out two circles with a diameter of 3 cm from cardboard, in the center of which there is a 1 cm hole. Threads are wound on the parts folded together. Next, they are cut along the contour and tied in the center.

Which one can be done? New Year's toy for a Christmas tree made of threads? It is better to decorate such trees with multi-colored pins. Bright buttons of various diameters can also serve as decoration.

Christmas tree made from plastic bottles

Often you can find unnecessary containers in the house. If this plastic bottles(preferably green) with a volume of 0.3 to 3 liters, then they can be used to create a New Year tree.

At the first stage of making a New Year's tree, the bottom of our material should be carefully cut off. This can be done using a utility knife or scissors. You will need one largest bottom. It will serve as a support for our product. The rest can be thrown away immediately.

Next, the prepared bottles are cut into strips, the width of which is from 2 to 2.5 cm. The neck must be intact. As a result of these manipulations, you will get a kind of plastic flower.

At the next stage of making the Christmas tree, we cut each strip of the bottle again along the edge every 0.5 mm. These will be our Christmas tree needles. Small cuts will make the New Year's tree fluffier and more beautiful.

Next, the prepared branches should be strung onto the “trunk”. They will use a stick, the length of which should be equal to the intended height of the tree. Blanks from bottles of larger volume should remain at the base, and containers of smaller capacity should be strung to the top. Cover the top of the tree with a plastic lid, hammering a nail into it for security.

New Year's beauty made from cups

What are original Christmas trees made from? New Year's beauty can be made from plastic cups. This material should be green.

At the first stage, eight cups are laid out in a semicircle and fastened together with a stapler. This will be the first row of our product. Next, seven cups are laid out. This is the second row of the tree. The process continues further. Fewer and fewer cups are placed in each row. Next, all the parts are fastened together and fixed with staplers. Collected in a circle and located one above one, they will become our Christmas tree. Next, the New Year's tree should be decorated. To do this, you can put a toy or ball in each cup.

Feather Christmas tree

To the one who decided to make New Year's beauty made from this material, there is no need to gut old pillows. Feathers made from them are not suitable for crafts. Buy required material It is possible only in special stores selling handicrafts. This will be the first stage of work. Next, you will need to sort the feathers by size and fluff them up a little. This will make it easier to work with them in the future.

When using this lightweight material Decoration of the product must be done before it is formed. Small plastic beads are suitable for this. They can also be purchased at a craft store.

The beads are carefully glued to the very tips of the feathers. After drying, the resulting blanks are glued from bottom to top onto a cardboard cone. The result is fluffy, which, for greater resemblance to real Christmas tree can be decorated with artificial snow.

For stability, a cardboard circle can be glued to the base. A small hole is cut out in the middle, into which a cardboard tube painted brown is inserted.
