There is very little time left until the New Year! And what kind New Year without a green Christmas tree. Of course, a large and real Christmas tree is very beautiful, but you can also make a small one, which you can put, for example, in the kitchen for decoration or make it one of the components of the New Year's tree.
To make this little green beauty we will need:
- medium density cardboard;
- tinsel Green colour average diameter 3-5 cm;
- small multi-colored pom-poms;
- super glue or any other glue;
- scissors;
- red wrapping paper.
Next, we make a cone from this cardboard square and glue its edges together using super glue. We trim the bottom of the cone with scissors so that our future Christmas tree stands straight.
At our house we already had a purchased star-bow for the top of the Christmas tree, but it’s quite possible to make one yourself from a bright wrapping paper Red.
And using super glue or double-sided tape, glue the star to the top of the cone.
Then, again, glue one of the ends of the green tinsel onto the glue. We do this right under the asterisk. And we wrap our cone from top to bottom with tinsel. At the bottom, it is again necessary to glue the end of the tinsel, otherwise our Christmas tree will “bloom.”
Well, now the fun part! Decorating our Christmas tree. I recently bought a craft made from pompoms for my eldest son, and after making it we had some extra pompoms left.
In principle, instead of them, you can use anything for decoration, for example, make them from satin narrow ribbons small bows or decorate with snowflakes cut out of colored paper. In general, who has enough imagination for what?
Well, we decorated our Christmas tree with multi-colored pompoms, carefully gluing them to the tinsel with super glue in a chaotic manner. And added three silver snowflakes.
Here we have such an elegant little Christmas tree. The child persuaded me to make it the main component of our New Year's composition V kindergarten on the theme "Winter Fantasy".

In addition to paper, a Christmas tree can be made from candies. How? See below.
Christmas tree made from candies
For the Christmas tree you will need:
500-600 grams of sweets in bright wrappers;
thick cardboard;
glue, scissors and double-sided tape;
Christmas tree decor: rain, a small star for the top of the head.
Please note that the color of the candy wrapper does not match the color of the Christmas tree decoration. If you decide to use rain, choose one with short pile so that the candies are visible.
Step 1.
Make a cone from thick cardboard, cut out a semicircle and wrap it. Glue the edges together with superglue, which will hold securely and set quickly.
Step 2.
Cut the bottom of the cone into strips, bend it inward and stick a circle on top, which will help make the base as stable as possible.
If you are preparing a Christmas tree as a gift for a child, then inside the cone you can hide a small car or soft toy. You just need to think about the opening bottom for the Christmas tree.
Step 3.
Cover the cone with double-sided tape and remove both protective films. Next, glue a row of candies on the bottom. The candies must be pressed very carefully onto the tape, otherwise they will quickly fall off.
That is why it is advisable to choose sweets that are light in weight. If you decide to use heavy chocolate candies, then glue them to the tree directly with glue.
Step 4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree from light sweets an asterisk made of wood or polystyrene foam, then disguise the top of the head with serpentine or tinsel. Your sweet Christmas tree is ready!
But what would New Year be without a Christmas tree made of tinsel?
DIY tinsel tree
You will need:
tinsel 2 m;
Whatman paper;
PVA glue;
glue "Moment"
scissors;
pencil;
needle with thread;
glue brush.
Step 1.
On a sheet of whatman paper, draw a circle with a radius of 25 cm. To evenly draw such a large circle, make the following device. Tie a pencil to the end of the thread with a needle, stick the needle in the middle of a sheet of whatman paper, pull the thread and draw a circle of the required diameter with a pencil.
Step 2.
To create the cone-base of the tree, you only need half of this circle, so cut the circle in half.
Step 3.
Connect the edges of the halves with an overlap and secure them with glue - for this purpose it is better to use Moment glue. The base of the Christmas tree is ready.
Step 4.
To glue the tinsel to the base, apply PVA glue on top of the cone and carefully glue the tinsel in a circle. Tinsel attaches well to PVA. Cover the entire cone in this manner and let the glue dry. The tinsel Christmas tree is ready!
You can also decorate a homemade Christmas tree with homemade decorations from small cones, nuts, beads, bows, and tinsel in a contrasting color. Buy small toy bells and attach them to the Christmas tree with glue.
To make the Christmas tree taller, make a stand for it, for example, from a small flower pot: glue a circle of cardboard to it and secure the Christmas tree there.
