1. Kanzashi style Christmas tree

My name is Natalia, and my daughter is Stefania, she is 6 years old and 1 month old. We are from Almaty (Kazakhstan).
For the competition we made a Christmas tree from satin ribbons in the kanzashi (tsumami) style. My daughter and I work together 50/50. The first half - I did the folding of the petals, because... there is work with fire.

Stefania cut out a shape for the Christmas tree from felt, glued the finished petals (except for the first top row) and decorated the Christmas tree with beads (I only dripped hot glue).

2. Christmas tree made from pasta, pumpkin seeds and green tea

Irina Ryabtseva and Pasha (2 years 11 months), from Vladivostok, made a Christmas tree from unusual materials for creativity.

To make the base - the cone, we will need:

  • green cardboard (A4);
  • green tea(dry);
  • PVA glue.

Christmas tree decorations:

  • “bow” pasta;
  • acrylic paints;
  • pumpkin seeds;
  • gel pencil with glitter;
  • sequins;
  • textile bow on the top of the head;
  • cotton wool;
  • hot melt adhesive.

Manufacturing process:

  1. We make a cone out of cardboard, grease it with glue, glue the tea leaves (our green tea was flavored, so the Christmas tree turned out “fragrant”);
  2. Painting pasta acrylic paint;
  3. We cover the seeds with sparkles and glue sequins on them;
  4. Using hot glue, glue the decorations onto the Christmas tree;
  5. Glue the Christmas tree onto a cardboard circle and decorate the bottom of the Christmas tree with “snow” made of cotton wool. Add small cotton wool “fluffs” to the Christmas tree;
  6. Attach a textile bow to the top of the Christmas tree.

3. Plasticine Christmas tree

My name is Ekaterina Golova, and my daughter is Varvara. We are from Moscow.

The craft was made by my daughter, who is now 3 years and 1 month old. To make a Christmas tree we will need green plasticine; if this is not enough, you can mix blue and yellow.

Manufacturing process:

  1. Roll out the plasticine into a cone shape and divide it into parts;
  2. Roll out each part into balls different sizes. We form cakes from the balls, starting with the largest and ending with the smallest. We fashion “caps” out of the cakes, like a mushroom. Using a child’s fork or knife, we imitate needles and assemble a Christmas tree;
  3. We make a small stand from brown plasticine and place the Christmas tree on the stand;
  4. We decorate the Christmas tree: we make colorful balls and snow from white plasticine in the form of a small ribbon and secure everything to the Christmas tree.

4. Volumetric Christmas tree made of paper

The second craft for the competition was made by my son Egor, who is 5 years old (mother Ekaterina Golova).

Manufacturing process:

  • cut out the contours of four identical Christmas trees;
  • fold them in half;
  • coat one side with glue and glue it to half of the other Christmas tree;
  • connect all four parts in the same way.

It turns out volumetric Christmas tree, which we decorate with circles of colored paper, gluing them onto the craft.

5. DIY snow-covered Christmas tree

My name is Irina Bredis, son Roma (6 years and 5 months). We are from the Moscow region, Shchelkovo.

The Christmas tree was made for a crafts competition in kindergarten, the idea came in one evening and was received with a bang by my son! He enthusiastically got involved in the work and completed almost all of it. I usually try to choose crafts that the child can do himself.

The craft was done as follows:

  • bought a foam base in the shape of a cone;
  • We cut out a lot of snowflakes from colored foil paper using a shaped hole punch;
  • first we glued green snowflakes onto a glue stick;
  • secured colored snowflakes with multi-colored safety pins;
  • A star-shaped button was attached to the top of the head.

That's all, snow-covered Christmas tree ready!

6. Craft “Christmas tree” from a pine cone

I am Dasha Martynova, my daughter’s name is Tasya, she is almost 3 years old. This year we decided to complete the tasks of Santa Claus every day, which the snowman brings to us. One of the tasks was to make a Christmas tree out of a pine cone.

Manufacturing process:

  1. We make the base from the lid and plasticine;
  2. We paint a big cone, pour it with PVA glue and sprinkle confetti in the form of stars on top and artificial snow;
  3. Instead of a tip there is a snowflake from Christmas tree beads.

Tasya did everything herself with my tips.

7. Craft “Christmas tree” made of cardboard and crepe paper

Hello! My name is Tatyana Globa and I work as a teacher with children 3-4 years old, doing arts and crafts with them. We made a craft for your Christmas tree competition.

For production we will need:

  • cardboard;
  • crepe paper;
  • glue.

Manufacturing process:

  • cut out a circle from cardboard and divide it in half;
  • We roll up a cone from one half - this is the base of the Christmas tree;
  • from crepe paper make a lot of lumps and glue them in a circle.

And we also made a Christmas tree from pine cones and decorated it with lumps of plasticine (but this is an addition, without a master class).
Author of the work: Grishutin Sergey, 4 years old. Krasnodar region, Korenovsk.

My name is Tatyana Stepankina, Moscow, and my daughter Varvara (4 years old) and I decided to take part in the competition.


We knead pancakes from green plasticine and string them onto a toothpick, each time taking less and less plasticine. When all the tiers are ready, decorate with beads and insert a cone-shaped bead on top.

9. Elegant satin Christmas tree

When I received the letter with the task, I invited the family to participate. My son enthusiastically supported the idea, and, to my surprise, my husband also expressed a desire to take part in the process! Therefore, we did not put it off for a long time and immediately got down to business.

For the base we found thick cardboard, wrapped it in a cone and glued it together glue gun. Needless to say, the men didn’t trust me with this unit? Weapons are truly a man’s trophy, even if it’s a sticky one.

Then I found a large piece of satin (about a meter) from which 5x5 squares were cut. While we were measuring, we consolidated our knowledge of numbers up to 5 on the ruler. Next, we folded each square diagonally to form a triangle. And in half again twice.

Attention, the most dangerous stage! Use a lighter to lightly burn the edges to prevent them from fraying.

Now the most interesting stage - we take a gun, apply a glue circle along the bottom of the cone and place our prepared needles on the glue, with their beautiful noses facing outward. At first we tried to glue and plant each needle separately, but empirically It has been proven that it will be much easier to make 1 glue circle and then sculpt on it.

When the work of landscaping the tree was completed, it was time to collect stones - to find all the ownerless decorations that until now did not know their purpose. Grandma's torn beads, beautiful buttons, a piece of New Year's beads (cut individually), and sequins from an old sweater were used.

Having combined the colors, mom chose the appropriate ones, and dad and Savushka assigned each “toy” its place (also using a gun). We also put red “thread garlands” on our Christmas tree (FixPrice, 47 rubles). The top was decorated with a red ribbon folded like a flower and tied in the center with a thread, which was covered with a bead.

This is such a wonderful Christmas tree that lives with us now! The son offered to bake cookies and hang a Christmas tree on “he and dad”... But that’s a completely different story.

Characters:

  1. little son Savva (2 years 7 months), the most fearless and decisive of all;
  2. dad Lesha, always ready to support his son in any situation and any endeavor;
  3. Sveta’s mother, a loyal fan of the “Club of Passionate Mothers”.

We are from Rostov-on-Don.

10. Advent calendar for dad and big sister

My name is Lyubov Vasilyeva and we youngest daughter Katyusha was made in the form of a Christmas tree for dad and for older sister.

Katya is not quite ready to complete the tasks yet, but it’s easy to prepare. The Christmas tree is decorated with plasticine balls and rhinestones, as well as task cards that Katyushka strung on a thread.

Tasks for dad:

  1. Buy a bottle of champagne and several types of cheese;
  2. Go to the cinema with your wife to watch a New Year's comedy;
  3. Write a plan for the next New Year and preserve it in a jar;

11. Soft Christmas tree

My name is Elena Burenina and I am the mother of Kirill 2.8, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Sarov. We made the Christmas tree from soft packaging for shoes and fragile items.

For convenience, I lined the packaging and Kirill cut it into strips. On a stand for flower pots secured a sushi stick with plasticine and pricked soft stripes. The top was also secured with plasticine. The plasticine below was covered with padding polyester - snow. My help to my son is minimal; I did almost everything myself.

12. Aroma - Christmas tree

My family and I created the “Aroma Christmas tree”.
Performers:

  • daughter Anya - 1 year 8 months;
  • mother Lena - 30 years old;
  • dad Dima - 30 years old.

Ingredients:

  • jar lid with sauerkraut;
  • wooden skewers for kebabs;
  • two blocks of plasticine;
  • multi-colored tinsel on a wire (30 cm long);
  • cones;
  • star anise;
  • cinnamon sticks;
  • dough (Razvivashki company) and molds for modeling;
  • gouache paints (acrylic with glitter);
  • hooks for Christmas decorations.

Stages of work:

We make Christmas tree decorations from play dough. The daughter tears off colorful pieces. I collect and roll out with a rolling pin. My daughter makes stamps using molds. Together we pierce with a hook for Christmas tree decorations. We take it to dry. I draw eyes. Let's paint the pine cones together.

We collect the Christmas tree. I give you a ball from 1 block of plasticine. The daughter sticks skewers into it. Together we roll sausages from the second block of plasticine and put them under the rim of the lid. I install the Christmas tree frame into the lid. The daughter paints the skewers with green paint. I insert green tinsel between the skewers and also attach it to the plasticine at the top and bottom. Dad puts lids on colorful tinsel baby puree. I attach these “lid garlands” around the Christmas tree, since the wire inside allows me to do this with ease.

We decorate and scent the Christmas tree. I put pine cones on the tree using the same wire tinsel. The daughter puts on dough toys. Stir in cinnamon and star anise together. I make a star out of 3 tinsel sticks. The beautiful Christmas tree is ready!

My name is Victoria Barmatova and I am the mother of this beautiful girl, whose name is Ekaterina, she is 5 years old. We decided to make a Christmas tree out of salt dough.

Using a hot-melt gun, I glued beads, a star (also made from dough), rain and a decoration in the form of flowers onto the spruce itself. The salt dough Christmas tree is ready!

14. Christmas tree - motanka

My name is Tatyana Vilyavina. We made the Christmas tree with our daughter Masha (4.5 years old). We are from Moscow and decided to make a Christmas tree out of fabric, based on Russian folk dolls.

To make such a Christmas tree you will need:

  • Any fabric for base twisting;
  • Two types of green fabric;
  • Multi-colored shreds;
  • Threads.

Manufacturing process:

  1. We make a cone-shaped base twist from any fabric. For rigidity, you can put a paper cone inside. We wind everything up with threads;
  2. We cut out 4 squares from green fabric, the next one is smaller than the other by a few centimeters. In the middle of the green squares (except for the smallest one) we cut small holes;
  3. We put the green squares on the cone, starting with the largest, and wrap them with threads, like a skirt;
  4. We cut multi-colored squares (for toys and the top of the head). We place rags or cotton wool in their center, collect them into a “knot” and wrap them with threads. We place one (red knot) on the top of the tree, straighten its ends and wrap it with threads. We wrap the remaining “toys” to the corners of the branches;
  5. We straighten our Christmas tree. All is ready. You can play!

My name is Valentina Akimova, I am from Moscow, I am 28 years old, my daughter is 3 years old. 10 months We made this craft 2 years ago as part of an assignment in kindergarten.

I decided to make the Christmas tree mobile; to do this, I attached tape and napkins to the base of a thin dry-cleaning hanger to give stability, volume and stability to the tree. And I sewed the tree itself from my husband’s old jeans. The sewing process was still too early for my daughter, but I involved her in the decoration.

The tree was supposed to be a summer one. Therefore, I cut out butterflies from felt in two colors in advance, decorated them with beads, and my daughter glued them on double-sided tape. It didn’t last long, but it was important to me that the garden project was her own doing. There was a minimum of participation, of course, but the age at that time was quite small.

My name is Anastasia Zotova, I am from Vladivostok. We made the Christmas tree with our son Grisha (3.5 years old).

Material: flower packaging (like non-woven fabric) green. Grisha loves cutting and gluing, so we opted for an option where scissors and glue are the main tools for creating a Christmas tree. The decorated Christmas tree was sprinkled with “snowball” made from crushed polystyrene foam.

17. Wall tree

My name is Galina Krivova and my 5-year-old daughter Katya and I decided to take part in the forest beauties competition. We are from Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk.

We have a Christmas tree made from wallpaper, decorated with my beads, Katya’s hairpins, stickers, and homemade flags.

Only the base was done by adults. Katya did everything else, hung, hooked, glued herself. The Christmas tree was made in several stages and approaches, but each time it was interesting to watch how my daughter worked hard, came up with new decorations.

18. Three-sided herringbone

My name is Diana Gnilokozova and my son Egor, who is now 1.2 years old, and I want to take part in the competition. We live in Belarus, Borovka village, Lepel district, Vitebsk region.

We decided to make a Christmas tree together. Since the child is small, and his participation is necessary, we have prepared a simple version of the craft, where both mother and child can participate.

For our Christmas tree you will need:

  • cardboard;
  • 3 templates of any Christmas tree (you can find it on the Internet and choose the option you like);
  • PVA glue;
  • scissors;
  • double sided tape;
  • gouache;
  • plasticine;
  • ribbons for decoration;
  • glitter nail polish.

We print the template in triplicate. Glue the Christmas trees onto cardboard and leave to dry. We cut out the templates carefully along the contour. Paint on one side with green gouache and leave to dry. On the other side of the templates we glue double-sided tape, fold the templates in half and glue them together. It turns out to be a Christmas tree.

It may happen that the templates do not match a little and some pieces of cardboard will be larger - you just need to cut them off with scissors. Next, we proceed to decoration: we sculpt small balls from plasticine different colors and glue it to the Christmas tree - you get New Year's balls. We cover them with nail polish - this will make them shine. Instead of tinsel, we added it to the Christmas tree a beautiful ribbon, and instead of a star there is a red bow. Our Christmas tree is ready!!!

19. Christmas trees made of chenille wire

My name is Vera Kozhevina and my sons: Artem Starukhin, 6 years old, and Anton Starukhin, 4 years old.
We decided to take part in the Christmas tree competition. For several days in a row, children have been playing with great pleasure chenille wire, twisting, making something. I offered to make a Christmas tree and the boys accepted the offer with enthusiasm.

My eldest son and I decided to make a “curly” Christmas tree. For the base, Artem twisted 3 wires together, then added a few more wires. I helped connect the base into a circle. Then he screwed on more wires, leaving loose ends. The result was a cone with pieces of protruding wire. Artem twisted these ends into a spiral. I helped distribute the “curls” evenly so that it looked like a Christmas tree. The work took 2 days.

With Antoshka it was easier. They twisted the barrel from two wires. And pieces of wire, different in size, were wound onto it. Then Artem suggested decorating the Christmas tree with beads.

20. Craft “Christmas tree” from postcards

I, Olga Nefedova, am the mother of three-year-old Jaromir and we are from the city of Kirov. We decided to take part in the competition. We used old New Year's cards as a basis; it's a shame to throw them away, but they've been lying around for a long time.

Yar cut out circles, helped roll them into cones, and put plasticine and “spruce paws” on a stick. To prevent the Christmas tree from falling, they stuck it into a deodorant lid, which Yar carefully sealed with plasticine. Then Jaromir thickly smeared the cones with glitter glue, and decorated the stand with old wet wipes and the remains of shiny gum.

And they didn’t forget about the top. At the Yaromirkin warehouse of necessary unnecessary items, just such a thing was found! They did it more than once, but the child showed obvious interest in the process. Had a great time with my son! In the photo: our Christmas tree, my son’s favorite hare cut out from a postcard, and Jaromir the monkey.

21. Kiwi Christmas tree

For a Christmas tree, it is better to take 2 kiwis of different sizes. Peel the kiwi and cut into slices. Place the kiwi on a toothpick (we took 3 for strength). We decorate the Christmas tree with toys - pomegranate seeds.

Tired of the mess in your nursery? Tired of endlessly collecting toys for your child?

Additionally, one Christmas tree was sprinkled with snow - sugar. But it’s better not to do this, it melts and the taste of kiwi with sugar is not for everyone.

The work was completed by: Fedya Demidov (2 years and 10 months) and mother Oksana (a little older).

22. Christmas tree made from pencil shavings

My name is Khuzziatova Olga, and my youngest daughter Svetlana (3.5 years old) and I decided to take part in the Christmas tree competition, although we had never participated anywhere before. We are from Irkutsk. One day we were sitting, solving sheep problems, and we needed colored pencils, but somehow they were all written down and dull, we decided to sharpen them and... that’s where the idea for our Christmas tree was “born.”

We made a cone out of cardboard and our imagination ran wild. At first I glued it myself, then my daughter joined in and finished the Christmas tree. She really liked the gluing process, she was so pleased!

After the Christmas tree was ready, decorations were glued on: snowflakes, balls, stars and, of course, a star was “dressed” on the top of the head! All day long, animals and toys danced around this Christmas tree.

23. Christmas tree - candle

The second work for the competition from Olga Khuzziatova and daughter Svetlana is a Christmas tree from beeswax.

On the eve of the New Year's holiday, for the second year now we have been giving all our friends and acquaintances living candles as a gift. When you touch the wax with your hands - such grace. And when you look at the fire from a candle, it’s just magic! At first, the kids and I simply inhaled this divine aroma of autumn and honey. That’s how we like him... And then we started creating and creating.

This time we made a Christmas tree-candle.

The idea of ​​a snowman standing on his head was spotted somewhere, but there was a real snowman there, and we also wanted to be naughty, like Carlson, and we made our own out of... deodorant balls.

And the Christmas tree was made from sisal, and the snow is made as easily as possible from salt and PVA glue.

  • green cardboard;
  • green tinsel;
  • stapler;
  • pom-poms;
  • “Moment” type glue (or hot glue);
  • yellow self-adhesive paper;
  • toothpick.

Manufacturing process:

  1. We rolled a cone out of green cardboard and secured it with a stapler;
  2. They took green tinsel and wrapped it around the cone, securing it with a stapler;
  3. We glued the pompoms with Moment glue. When we glued the pompoms, we pulled apart the tinsel and glued them onto a cardboard cone;
  4. We cut out two stars from yellow self-adhesive paper, glued them together, and inserted a toothpick into the middle of the star. Then they put the star on the top of the tree.

So we got a craft that we spent 15 minutes making. What I like most is that my daughter was able to make this craft almost on her own. I just helped her make a cone and cut out a star. Our Christmas tree turned out so cute that dad decided to take it to work.

27. Christmas tree for the lazy

My name is Gazizova Gulnara, and my daughter Leysan is 2.1 months old. We are from Chelyabinsk. My daughter helped trace the rings, paint, and assemble the craft.

I hope you don’t think that our craft Christmas tree is too simple. I came up with the idea myself, especially for this competition.

We will need:

  • pyramid;
  • green or regular cardboard (then you need green paint);
  • scissors;
  • optional: hole punch, Christmas tree decorations.

Manufacturing process:

  1. Cut out blanks - branches - from cardboard. The quantity depends on the number of rings. (At the bottom of the pyramid there will be the largest blank - a branch, at the top - the smallest);
  2. If you cut blanks from white cardboard, then they need to be painted with green or blue paint, and when dry, brush with a semi-dry brush with yellow paint;
  3. If desired, trim the edges of the branches to imitate needles;
  4. If you plan to hang bows, ribbons, or beads on the branches, then you need to make holes on the branches with a hole punch (we didn’t);
  5. Blanks - put branches on the pyramid alternating with rings;
  6. If desired, the Christmas tree can be decorated.

28. Winter application “Forest clearing”

My name is Marina Furzikova, and my son is Daniil, he is 2 years old. We live in small town called Yoshkar-Ola. Since my son is still small, our craft turned out to be very simple.

We needed:

  • cardboard;
  • lace;
  • cotton pads and sticks;
  • stickers;
  • purchased eyes.

It is very easy to make such an application:

  1. My son glued the Christmas tree parts I prepared in descending order;
  2. From halves cotton pads he made snowdrifts;
  3. I made a snowman from whole cotton pads (with already prepared eyes, nose and buttons), glued a cardboard bucket and added handles -cotton buds;
  4. The background was decorated with snowflakes stickers.

29. Christmas tree with a cone

My name is Yulia Alkhovik and Alice and I, 2.8 years old, made a Christmas tree for the competition. Alice made almost all of this craft herself. I just cut out a blank from cardboard and glued the pine cone to the loop.

First, Alice decorated the blank with finger gouache. While everything was drying, my daughter decorated the cone. After drying, glued the pasta stars onto plasticine balls. We made a hole with a hole punch and inserted a ribbon.

I helped glue the bump. Then we decorated the stars and glued snow from cotton wool. It turned out very elegant!

30. Christmas tree - postcard

My name is Nadezhda Kudryashova, and my daughter is Anya, she is 4 years old. We are from St. Petersburg. I love to embroider and my daughter, looking at me, began to ask me to teach her too. So I came up with this Christmas tree postcard to get acquainted with needle and thread.

It’s simple: we pasted on the silhouette of a Christmas tree (my daughter wanted just a triangle) and began to thread the threads (we used floss), stringing beads on them. The result was garlands. At the end, drops of glue were dripped and sprinkled with glitter.

31. Christmas tree - a cone made of threads

My name is Lena, and my son Valera is 2.6 years old. We are from Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region.

Paper cone wrapped in an ordinary plastic bag, smeared with glue and wrapped with thread. They let the glue dry, then carefully removed the cone first, and then the bag.

The fun has begun! The son was given huge selection decorations, he chose flowers, ribbons, beads and large beads. Perhaps the photos do not reflect the entire decorating process, but since the work involved glue, I couldn’t leave my son for long without my help.

I had already had the base with the cones for about 2 years, so we put the Christmas tree on it.

Natalya Kardashina and her sons could not ignore our competition. Each of them decided to make their own Christmas tree.

32. Orange Christmas tree using quilling technique

I was skeptical about this idea: “Alyosha, you won’t be able to twist that much.” But she turned out to be wrong, Alexey himself almost completely twisted all the elements. I only helped glue everything together.

The main elements used are a drop, a diamond and an eye.

The Christmas tree turned out to be creative – orange. We decided that it would be more fun this way, and we only had very pale, sad green stripes.

33. Purple Christmas tree

Of course it’s difficult at 3 years old volumetric modeling, so I had to help a lot when creating the form. The base is a cone of gift bag, shuttlecock - corrugated paper slightly stretched along the edge and pressed in along the fold.

34. 3-D application for kids

Of course, kids like my youngest son are not yet able to do crafts, they don’t understand what exactly is needed from them, but the process of smearing paint is fascinating!

Drawing finger paints, although I later regretted it, since there is not enough brightness. Stage 1 - drawing the background. Stage 2 - cutting out layers. Stage 3 - gluing the application with thick double-sided tape.
Our Christmas trees became the background for the composition with a purple Christmas tree.

35. Christmas tree - support

My name is Vlada Maksimishina, we are from Yalta. I made the Christmas tree together with my daughter (4 years old). The idea was “born” by accident. I planned to make some kind of “classic” Christmas tree, but while looking through pictures on the Internet, I realized that any object can be called a “Christmas tree” triangular shape. And then the word “support” caught my eye on the screen, and although it was used in a different meaning, the decision was made. The theme of light, or rather the lack thereof, is currently relevant in Crimea, and it seemed like a good idea to make a tree in the form of a support interesting idea.

I thought for a long time about what to make this support from. The idea to use hangers also came by accident (I saw my daughter playing with a hanger before hanging up her jacket). All I needed was 5 hangers, some tape, tinsel, foil, cocktail straws and thread. Well, a few ready-made toys for decoration (I didn’t have enough time to make them myself).

36. Christmas tree made of plastic spoons

Somewhere on Saturday afternoon
We made the Christmas tree with our family.
We are from Angarsk, let's tell you honestly
Making a “beauty” was a dream.

For a Christmas tree 20 cm high you will need:

  • 44 — 45 disposable spoons(we cut off their handles);
  • 1 cone (thick cardboard or foam plastic) 20 cm high;
  • glue (we took pistol glue, you can use Moment, but it is toxic to the child);
  • green paint and soap;
  • Christmas tree decorations (we made them from corrugated paper).

Glue the spoons onto the workpiece, starting from the bottom. After all the spoons are glued on, take the paint and start painting by first dipping the brush in soap (this way the paint will adhere better and not slide off). And now the beautiful Christmas tree is ready.

While the tree is drying, we make decorations. We made Christmas balls from corrugated paper. They cut out squares, then crumpled them and glued them onto the tree. We decorate the Christmas tree at our own discretion. My son wanted to stick it on the top of his head painted bump(left over from a New Year's door wreath, painted with paint from a can), you can make a star out of paper.

The work was carried out by Yaroslav Bichevin, 4 years old and mother Svetlana Bichevina, Angarsk.

37. Christmas tree - snowflake

My name is Olga Lunde and my daughter Anechka (3.8) from Krasnoyarsk and I decided to participate in the Christmas tree competition. We worked on our winter beauty for several days.
For work we needed:

  1. cone (made from thick cardboard);
  2. cotton pads;
  3. PVA glue;
  4. gouache;
  5. various decorations: beads, balls, etc.;
  6. for the garland we used thin fishing line and beads.

First of all, Anyuta glued the discs onto the cone. This work took us a whole day - we needed to stick a lot and carefully. After we glued all the “Christmas tree legs”, we set the tree up to dry.
The second stage was painting the Christmas tree in green color. Anechka used green gouache and a small sponge. And again the Christmas tree was left to dry.

And finally, the most interesting thing - let's start dressing up our beauty. For this we used colored craft balls. Anyuta was very interested in this activity. The balls were various sizes. We tried them on and consulted on how best to position them. A red ball was placed on top - this is what we got as a star.

Of course, we couldn’t leave the snowflake Christmas tree without a garland. Anyuta threaded various beads from a set for making beads and bracelets onto a thin fishing line.

At the end of our work, we admired the Christmas tree and decided to arrange a holiday in a fabulous, magical forest. We invited our toy animals: Teddy bear and bear cub, squirrel, hedgehog, fox and bunnies. Christmas story it worked!

38. Christmas tree made from natural materials

39. Candy Christmas tree

The following 2 works were presented out of competition from Yulia Maznina, a member of the team of the Club of Passionate Mothers.

My name is Yulia Maznina. I have two boys: Andrey (10 years old) and Maxim (2 years 10 months). We live in the city of Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk region.

For several years in a row New Year we are making a candy tree. The children remember it and every year they themselves remind us to do it again.

We usually give a candy tree to someone. This fall Maxim went to kindergarten, so this year we made a candy tree to arrange before the New Year in kindergarten Christmas tree holiday when the Christmas tree brings gifts to the kids - candy.

For the “Candy Christmas Tree” craft we needed:

  • glass bottle of mineral or sparkling water (you can use a 0.5 liter plastic bottle, but for stability it needs to be filled with water);
  • candies in a green wrapper (we had “Pine Nut” bars with pine cones painted on the wrapper, on glass bottle 0.5 liters took us 50 sweets - 2 for each child in the kindergarten group + teachers);
  • 2 candies for the youngest participant, since it is difficult to make a Christmas tree out of candies and not eat any of them;
  • tape and scissors.

Starting from the bottom, we glued the candies in several tiers by one end of the wrapper to the bottle. The top of the bottle was decorated with tinsel, and a red cap was put on the neck. Together with the Christmas tree, we made a monkey who will bring the candy Christmas tree to the kindergarten. When the Christmas tree is distributing treats, you don’t need to pick the candies, you just need to pull the candy out of the wrapper. How more candies, will be eaten, the fluffier the Christmas tree will become.

40. Christmas tree made of rubber bands

The youngest son loves to decorate Christmas trees. Since the beginning of December we have been doing this almost every day. The Christmas trees come out different, but I try to come up with options so that he can then repeat the process himself.

For the Christmas tree made of rubber bands we needed:

  • plastic bottle volume 0.5 l (you can take a red cap for the bottle - a star on the top);
  • hair elastic bands of different diameters (it is better to use thick ones, they hold better).

We put rubber bands on the bottle from bottom to top, combine or alternate colors. For more stability, you can pour a little water into the bottle.

Wow! There was a whole spruce forest of crafts!

We thought and thought and decided to reward each participant in the competition with a pleasant New Year's surprise. Well, our team decided to distribute the main prizes as follows:

  • Nomination “Christmas tree for a baby” - pyramid tree for the lazy from Gulnara Gazizova from Chelyabinsk (No. 27)
  • Nomination “Appetizing Christmas tree” - a tree made of vegetables and cheese from Olga from Ussuriysk (No. 25)
  • Nomination “Eco-Christmas tree” - Christmas tree-candle made of beeswax from Olga Khuzziatova (No. 23)
  • But that is not all! Our entire team simply could not ignore the Christmas tree from Yalta from Vlada Maksimishina. This support tree receives the Creative Tree nomination.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to everyone for participating! You are incredible!

Origami Christmas tree from a magazine

This origami Christmas tree is very easy to make with your own hands. Small format magazines that can be found in any home are suitable materials.


Work plan:


The procedure described below must be done with each page in the magazine.

If the cover is thick, you can simply detach it (tear it off).


1. Fold the page, upper right corner, at an angle of 45 degrees to you.


2. Once again fold the sheet in half diagonally. 3. We go through all fold lines with a fingernail or other object so that they do not open, especially thick pages. 4. Fold the bottom corner that extends beyond the borders of the magazine upward.


In this way we add up all the pages in the advertising magazine.

Another origami Christmas tree model for the New Year. Unlike the previous origami Christmas tree from the magazine, the pages here are not folded, but figuratively cut out according to a template.

The manufacturing principle is very simple. You need to prepare a template for half of the Christmas tree, circle it on one page and cut it out. Further, the cut out page will itself serve as a template for other pages. You can cut out several pages at once, but you shouldn’t cut a lot at once, as the cut line will turn out uneven (crushed) and the tree will not open well.


The tree itself turns out to be more one-sided; to achieve volume, you can fold and glue 2-3 magazines together. But believe me, she looks good anyway.

How to make a Christmas tree at home?

Today, there are many materials from which you can create a magnificent Christmas tree that will fit perfectly into your interior.


There are a huge number of various master classes with which you can learn how to make a Christmas tree with your own hands.

Christmas tree made of pine cones

A Christmas tree made from pine cones will become a stunning decorative element; it can decorate New Year's table or even serve a great gift. In order to make such a decoration, you need to prepare the following materials:

  • identical cones;
  • strong cardboard paper;
  • pencil;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • glitter and gold paint.

First you need to take cardboard and roll it into a cone shape, seal the joint with glue. We use scissors to separate the scales from Christmas tree cones, since you will need quite a lot of them. After this, the cardboard cone is carefully covered with scales, starting from the very bottom.

If you like the original look, you don’t have to use paint and other decorative elements, but with their help you can add shine and charm to the tree.

The paint is applied with a brush; when it dries, the craft can be decorated with glitter, tinsel, ribbons and other decorative elements.

Christmas tree made from single-layer napkins

To create this decoration you will need napkins, thick cardboard and beads. Initially, we construct a cone from cardboard paper which will serve as a solid foundation. It is necessary to ensure that the cone has smooth edges and didn't fall over on its side.

Then we take the napkins and cut them along the folds, fold them in three and make cuts again. We fold them again and cut them, in the end you should get a small square equal to 1/9 of this napkin.

We use a stapler to fasten it in the central part. Then we cut out a circle from the square, and gradually bending its layers, we create a rose.

If the resulting flower is slightly uneven, you can always correct it with scissors. The number of roses depends on the size of the cone. When they are ready, use glue and begin gluing the flowers from the very top of the head.

You can take napkins of several colors, then the Christmas tree will turn out brighter and more original. After all the roses are glued, take the beads and also glue them in some places.


You can decorate this craft with anything, it is easy to make and does not require any special expenses.

Christmas tree made from paper and cardboard

This craft is very easy to make, and it looks elegant and original. Using corrugated paper, the Christmas tree will turn out quite fluffy. To create it you will need:

  • glue;
  • green corrugated paper;
  • scissors;
  • cardboard;
  • various decor to taste.

Make a cone-shaped base from cardboard, the size depends on your wishes. To make it visible, it is recommended to cover the cone with green paper.

The needles are made from corrugated needles, finely chopped into small strips. Then these stripes are cut even smaller; they should resemble a fringe. We use toothpicks to wrap paper around them and get small flowers, there should be at least a hundred of them.

After this, they are glued to the cardboard base so that there are no gaps. The decor of the Christmas tree can be anything: ribbons, bows, beads, tinsel and much more.


Interesting ideas for making Christmas trees

A Christmas tree can also be made from pasta. To do this, you need to make a cardboard cone, which is glued pasta different shapes. After this, the decoration is painted in any color. Instead of pasta, you can use coffee beans, which can be decorated with golden sparkles and bows.

If you are familiar with the art of kanzashi, then make forest beauty it won't be difficult. To do this you need to use satin ribbons green and red colors. A photo of a DIY Christmas tree will serve as a pleasant reminder of the wonderful New Year holidays.

A unique decoration for your home will be a knowledge tree made from stacks of books. It can be decorated with tinsel, ribbons and bows, but it is highly not recommended to hang it with an electric garland.

Vytynanka is a type of Slavic art where jewelry is made from paper. They can often be seen on window panes, and making vytynanki is quite simple. To do this, you need to use paper with a pattern drawn on it. The pattern is then cut out with a sharp utility knife.

An interesting idea would be to create a Christmas tree out of cupcake tins. To do this, you need to cut off the bottom of the molds and string them onto a cone made of durable cardboard paper.

If you have empty thread spools, they are also ideal for crafts. Glued onto a round, durable base bottom row coils, one more on top, the shape should resemble a cone. This decoration can be decorated with ribbons and sparkles.


A huge variety of Christmas trees that can be made at home will appeal to any needlewoman. Don't forget about materials like candy, feathers, felt, beads and more. From all this you can create a bright, elegant and stylish decoration that will be admired. Choose the Christmas tree option and don’t forget to make it with love!
