DIY Christmas tree made of tinsel and wire
The next way to make a Christmas tree with your own hands is a Christmas tree made of tinsel and wire. In order to make such a Christmas tree, we need wire different density, tinsel, Christmas decorations. You will also need a wooden stand.
At the very beginning, we fix a piece of wire on a wooden stand. In the stand you need to make a hole and drip a few drops of glue. To make the barrel, we need to use a wire that is more sweaty. We need to make a frame. We do it this way: we take a thin wire and twist it in a shape similar to a spiral, then wrap it around the trunk. We fix the tinsel from the wire on the frame.

Candy Christmas tree
The next way is a candy Christmas tree. In addition to sweets from multi-colored candy wrappers, we need: scissors, adhesive tape and one sheet of cardboard.
We take a sheet of cardboard. And from it you need to make a cone. The cone is the base of our tree. We take scotch and sweets. Using adhesive tape, we attach sweets very tightly to the surface of the base. The remaining gaps must be closed with tinsel. The Christmas tree looks like it is completely made of tinsel.
Christmas tree for the wall with your own hands
And the latest version of the Christmas tree with your own hands is a Christmas tree for the wall. For this option, there are two ways, the first is that we attach tinsel in the form of a Christmas tree to the wall, and we fix the bends of the branches with stationery (for example, needles). Can you make a Christmas tree big size. To do this, you need from several sheets Cut out half of the Christmas tree from cardboard. And connect the halves with one strip of fabric. Next, we fix the tinsel along the edges of the Christmas tree and do the same inside the contours. On the opposite side, you need to make loops, since we need to hang it on the wall.
Volume Christmas tree made of paper
In order to create a voluminous New Year's beauty, you will need solid-colored paper, a simple pencil, scissors, and soft wire. First, we make a base out of wire. In order for the future design to be stable, one end is twisted like a spiral. On paper, draw a circle with lines. We make small cuts on it. Glue the ends of the resulting pieces. Thus, the main tier of the Christmas tree was made.
We pierce the center and insert the wire. It is necessary to make a couple of tiers, and reduce the radius of the template. The top of the Christmas tree must be closed with a cone. Volumetric Christmas decoration ready.
To make a New Year's beauty for the holiday loved by everyone, it will take a little time and a little material that everyone has at hand. You can make such a beauty for every taste - from simple to complex, or come up with your own way of making New Year's souvenir. But mostly the Christmas tree will be made of tinsel.

Step by step instructions with photo
So, let's get to work. You will spend quite a bit of time, because the tinsel Christmas tree is quite simple to make.
Step 1: fasten the hangers
Take two coat hangers and tape them together (see photo below). Make sure the hangers are symmetrically fastened to each other.
In the same way, glue all the other hangers two by two.
Step 2: assemble the structure
When you fasten all your hangers 2 by 2, take 2 formed shapes and insert them into each other crosswise.
Then paste the two remaining shapes. Fasten all the hangers at the top with tape so that they are at the same distance from each other.
Step 3: add lights
Now it's time to add Christmas lights to the design!
Figure out how many light bulbs should be on each hanger. Spread them out evenly, and don't forget to glue the bulb to the top of the tree.
Tape all the bulbs, one by one. We started at the bottom on one of the hangers, working our way up to the top, then moved down to the next hanger, and so on until we had gone full circle.
Step 4: add tinsel
Now plug in your Christmas lights!
When all the lights are on, add a shiny garland to the design. Start at the top and wrap the top bulb in glitter. Then lead the tinsel in circles, circle after circle. Keep in mind that the light bulbs should be on top of the shiny tinsel.
Continue wrapping the structure with tinsel until it is completely covered in glitter.
That's all, a do-it-yourself Christmas tree made of tinsel and metal hangers is ready! In this technique, we made 2 Christmas trees, one with white lights, and the second with multi-colored ones. And I must say that they look completely different!
We continue the Christmas theme. There is very little time left before the holidays, and there is still so much to do! How to do everything? Also, there is no Christmas tree. Today DIY Christmas tree made of tinsel is the object of our article. Such a craft can be easily done without spending much time and money. It will proudly decorate any table, chest of drawers or shelf.
For such a Christmas tree you will need:
- tinsel about three meters long
- decorating elements
- brush for glue
- hot glue
- paper sheet
- PVA glue

How to decorate your Christmas tree - the choice is yours. We can only offer you the idea of using beads, ribbon bows, colored nuts and cones, small gifts - a foam plastic cube wrapped in shiny gift paper, white mesh bows, in which, for example, you bought garlic, small bells, paint mesh stars, and so on.
Progress:
1. On a piece of drawing paper, draw a circle of large diameter. In our case, it turns out 30 cm. The radius of this circle will be equal to the height of the Christmas tree. In order to draw such a large circle, you can build homemade device circular type. To do this, tie a pencil to one end of the thread, and a needle to the other. Then stick the needle in the middle of the paper and draw a circle with a pencil, pulling the thread. Now cut out the circle and cut it in half. Two Christmas trees can come out of one drawing paper. Roll up the paper and make a cone. Secure the edges with tape. The base of our Christmas tree is ready! 
2. Now spread the top of the cone with glue and start gluing the tinsel. It sticks great with glue. However, you need to glue it very carefully.
3. Having pasted over the entire cone, let the glue dry. Do not be discouraged if in some places the Christmas trees turn out to be “bald”. Then they can be veiled with Christmas decorations.
4. After complete drying, use a hot gun to start decorating the Christmas tree.
5. You can also make a stand for our Christmas tree - then it will be higher. You will also need a small flower pot. Glue a cardboard circle to the pot and glue the Christmas tree on it.
