Several options for a decorative Christmas tree made of paper

It’s impossible without a decorated Christmas tree for the New Year. Of course, the main character of the holiday is a large fluffy live spruce or pine tree in the center of the room, or an artificial beauty, dressed up with garlands and colorful toys. But you can also make small decorative Christmas trees with your own hands from paper and decorate with them for the New Year a table or shelf in the office or at home. Below are two master classes on creating such paper beauties.

For each of them we will need:

1. A sheet of thick paper for the cone.
2. Paper napkins of any color, you can combine several colors.
3. PVA glue or pencil.
4. Scissors.
5. Stapler.
6. Pencil or any wooden stick.
7. Christmas tree decor. Whatever you find at home: sequins, small beads, bells, ribbons, and so on.

Now let’s take a look at both options for Christmas trees made from paper napkins in turn.

Option 1 – Christmas tree made of paper roses

• make a cone out of thick paper. Glue it together with glue or a stapler.
• Now we make roses from napkins. To do this, fold each napkin in half and then in half again, and secure it in the middle with a stapler.

• cut out a circle.

• We have a multi-layered circle and we need to take each subsequent layer on top and twist it tightly. We do this with all layers.

• When all the layers are twisted you need to straighten the rose a little. This is how we make all the flowers.
• We cover the cone with roses. It’s better to start from the bottom in a circle and work your way up.

• The roses should be glued close to each other so that there are no gaps.

• after the whole Christmas tree is “dressed” in roses, you can decorate it with any decorative elements, simply gluing them randomly on top of the flowers.

This DIY paper craft for the New Year 2018 is very easy to make, even a child or teenager can handle it, and it looks very impressive and beautiful.

Option 2 – Christmas tree made of paper napkins using the cutting technique

A similar very simple version of the Christmas tree. Everything that is needed for it is listed above, let’s prepare everything according to the list and proceed:

• you need to start from the bottom. Thus, we place all the twisted squares tightly as possible closer friend to friend.

When we cover the entire Christmas tree with twisted squares, we get a fluffy beauty that can also be decorated with any decorative elements.

Using these techniques (roses from napkins and trimming), you can create postcards by gluing elements onto a base with a drawn outline of a Christmas tree or other design, a snowman, for example.

You can make Christmas trees out of paper using other techniques. Simply by gluing colored paper circles onto a cone, or cutting out outlined palms from green paper. You can also make loops from strips of paper and stick them on the cone.

Very beautiful Christmas trees are made from paper using the weaving technique. To do this, you need to fold a sheet of paper in half, draw an outline according to the template and cut through all the necessary places. Do the same with the second sheet. Then connect the 2 sheets together at the fold.

Generally a Christmas tree from paper cone you can decorate with anything. The idea is to make a cone out of construction paper and decorate it.

For decoration you can use:

• threads for knitting, simply wrapped or cone;
• buttons;
• tinsel and sweets, gluing them in alternating rows;
• petals made of crumpled paper;
• pasta;
• coffee beans and jute rope.

This Christmas tree can be decorated with everything you can find at home. Afterwards, you can cover the resulting creation with golden paint or artificial snow, or leave it as is.

Christmas tree made of buttons

Real New Year's interior unthinkable without a Christmas tree. We suggest making a creative Christmas tree from scrap materials that will decorate your home.

Every housewife has a box with a variety of buttons that will be an excellent material for a future Christmas tree.

You will need:

• Cardboard, preferably green;
• Buttons of different diameters;
• Glue;
• Scissors.

Description of work:

We roll a cone out of thick cardboard and glue the edges together - this is the basis for our Christmas tree. Then, in a chaotic order, glue the buttons onto the cone. It all depends on your imagination. If you want to get a cheerful Christmas tree, use multi-colored buttons; if you want to make a stylish thing, stick on buttons of two primary colors, for example, red and white, blue and white, and others. The Christmas tree can additionally be decorated with snowflakes, beads, etc.

Attention: You can stuff the cone soft cloth or cotton wool, and attach the buttons with pins. Such a tree will be more stable.

You can also use buttons to make an original Christmas tree decoration. But instead of a cone, you will need a foam ball (sold in craft departments) onto which buttons are glued. This ball can be hung on a ribbon. It can decorate not only a Christmas tree, but also, for example, a window opening.

DIY New Year's bead crafts

Homemade Christmas tree decorations made with beads will be an excellent gift for loved ones. To make such a toy it is not necessary to have experience in bead embroidery or beadwork. Simple, but very beautiful crafts Even a novice needlewoman can make it from beads.

• Beads of green, light green, red, blue, light blue, yellow;
• About 2 meters of brass wire;
• Scissors.

To make a cockerel, you need to master the parallel stringing technique and the “toward” technique. You need to start with the head, then make the body, not forgetting to leave wire for future legs and each feather. If you do everything right, you will get a funny cockerel that can become a keychain.

New Year's crafts from old light bulbs

Old, worn-out light bulbs can acquire a new, no less bright life. By showing your imagination, you can make magnificent Christmas tree decorations by painting light bulbs in the shape of funny snowmen or other fairy-tale characters, as well as making appliqués using glue and sequins, beads and other decorative elements.

Crafts from pine cones

Hereby New Year's decoration there will be a variety of crafts made from cones, because cones are natural material, directly related to a living Christmas tree or pine.

Crafts made from pine cones to decorate your home and street

DIY tree made from pine cones

To make a decorative Christmas tree from pine cones you will need:

• Thick cardboard green or brown;
• Cones (preferably pine);
• Glue gun;
• Decorations;
• Spray paint in gold or silver color.

We make a cone from thick cardboard and glue the edges. This Christmas tree will turn out to be heavy, so for stability it is better to glue a circle of cardboard to the base of the cone. Then glue the cones onto the cone using glue gun. You need to start from the bottom and glue the cones, leaving no gaps between them. It is necessary to stick large cones at the bottom, and smaller ones closer to the top. This way the craft will look harmonious.

Now the most enjoyable part is the decoration. If you wish, you can paint the tree gold, silver or any other color using spray paint. When the paint is dry, glue on the decorations. These can be multi-colored beads, sparkles, bows, small bells and more. You can unravel the string of beads and glue each bead separately onto the Christmas tree. It all depends on your imagination!

Using the same principle, you can make a ball of cones.

You will need:

• Styrofoam ball;
• Glue gun;
• Cones;
• Spray paint;
• Decorations.

Making this decoration is quite simple. It is necessary to glue the cones onto the foam ball as closely as possible. Then you can paint the workpiece with spray paint, or you can leave it in its natural form.

Interesting idea– “sprinkle” the ball with artificial snow from a spray can. This product can also be decorated to your liking with various decorations.

If you tie a ribbon to the ball, it will become a wonderful decoration for the ceiling (you can hang several of these balls). And if you put a ball on a stick and secure it in flower pot, you will get a beautiful New Year's tree.

New Year's wreath of pine cones

From spruce and pine cones you can make a wonderful New Year's wreath.

To do this you will need:

• Ready-made base for a wreath (sold in stores) or thick cardboard;
• Cones (spruce or pine);
• Glue gun;
• Satin ribbon of any color;
• Spray paint;
• Decorations.

For a wreath we take ready-made base or cut out a suitable wreath-shaped piece from thick cardboard. Then we glue the cones onto the base. Paint the wreath with gold or silver paint (if desired). We entwine our product with a ribbon of a contrasting color, decorate it with beads, rhinestones, bells, etc. An interesting idea: decorate the wreath with small artificial apples, tangerines, etc. (sold in specialized stores). This wreath will look truly homely and cozy.

• White socks:
• 2-3 buttons;
• Pins with black and yellow (or red) heads;
• Scarf fabric (or colored sock);
• Glue.

Cut the sock into two parts. We tie the upper part with thread and turn it inside out. We fill this bag with rice, tie it with thread, fill it with more rice and form a head. From black pins we make the snowman’s eyes, from yellow or red pins we make a nose. We make a hat and scarf from a piece of fabric or a colored sock, and sew on buttons. Cute snowman ready.

Children's paper Christmas tree crafts

Even the smallest children can cope with the creation paper Christmas tree from the palms. You will need:

• Colored paper and colored cardboard;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Pencil;
• Sample.

Cut out a triangular base for the Christmas tree and glue it onto a colored sheet of cardboard. Then we trace the child’s hand on a sheet of green paper and cut out the blank. There should be several such details. Glue the “palms” onto the base from bottom to top. The fingers should remain free. When the entire base is covered with palms, the Christmas tree is ready. All that remains is to glue the star to the top and decorate the craft if desired.

Crafts for the New Year from felt

Felt is an ideal material for crafts, as it is very pliable, easy to glue, and when cut, its edges do not crumble and do not require additional processing. The material is perfect for creating toys with small parts. Craft stores have a huge selection of felt of various colors and densities.

Children love to sculpt. Invite them to make New Year's crafts from salt dough. You will need:

• 2 cups of flour;
