The pre-New Year's time of miracles is coming, when you want to believe a fairy tale and give a little magic to yourself, your children and the whole family. Traditionally, at this time, parents and children make crafts, prepare gifts and cards for relatives, and the Club of Passionate Mothers conducts.
On the eve of the New Year 2016, we announced a competition DIY “Christmas tree” crafts with children. And today we are pleased to present to your attention forest beauties made in different techniques children and their parents.
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 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).
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:
Christmas tree decorations:
Manufacturing process:
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:
The second craft for the competition was made by my son Egor, who is 5 years old (mother Ekaterina Golova).
Manufacturing process:
It turns out volumetric Christmas tree, which we decorate with circles of colored paper, gluing them onto the craft.
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:
That's all, the snow-covered Christmas tree is ready!
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:
Tasya did everything herself with my tips.
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:
Manufacturing process:
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.
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 with a 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. We used grandma's torn beads, beautiful buttons, a piece of New Year's beads (cut individually), and sequins from an old sweater.
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.
Like this wonderful Christmas tree 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.
We are from Rostov-on-Don.
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:
Tasks for the sister:
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. A sushi stick was attached to a stand for flower pots using 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.
My family and I created the “Aroma Christmas Tree”.
Performers:
Ingredients:
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 baby puree lids on colorful tinsel. I attach these “lid garlands” around the Christmas tree, since the wire inside allows me to do this with ease.
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!
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:
Manufacturing process:
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.
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 of wallpaper, decorated with my beads, Katya’s hairpins, stickers, and homemade flags.
Only the base was done by adults. Katya did everything else, hanging, hooking, gluing 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.
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 it together New Year tree. 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:
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 start decorating: we make small balls of different colors from plasticine and glue them to the Christmas tree - we 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!!!
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.
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. The old ones were taken as a basis New Year cards, 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.
For the 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.
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).
My name is Olga Khuzziatova, 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.
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.
They took the foundation, cut it in half, then into triangles. They put in a wick and my daughter started twisting it. All is ready! Simple, beautiful, practical, with love and warmth from our hands!
We are the Kushev family (father Petya, mother Nastya, son Fedya) from St. Petersburg. My son and I love making crafts and decorating our home in every possible way! Dad helps us sometimes.
We submit our kindergarten craft to the competition. There is not only a Christmas tree on it, but also a snowman - a mischievous one, as well as firewood and a snowman's headdress. 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.
My name is Olga, my son is 4.8. We are from Ussuriysk. Timur loves to cook, he and his dad even maintain a culinary blog http://www.psyholog-ussur.ru/index.php/blog/kylinarniy. Hence the theme of the craft.
We used broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, tofu, and corn. Snow is baby formula.
My name is Tatyana Dominova and my daughter Alisa (2.5 years old) and I are from St. Petersburg. We decided to do simple craft"The Christmas tree of their tinsel."
For the craft we will need:
Manufacturing process:
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.
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:
Manufacturing process:
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:
It is very easy to make such an application:
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!
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.
My name is Lena, and my son Valera is 2.6 years old. We are from Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo region.
The paper cone was wrapped in a regular 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.
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.
Of course, at 3 years old, three-dimensional modeling is difficult, so I had to help a lot when creating the form. The base is a cone from a gift bag, the shuttlecock is corrugated paper slightly stretched along the edge and pressed in along the fold.
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.
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 its absence, is currently relevant in Crimea, and making a Christmas tree in the form of a support seemed like an 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).
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:
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 did 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.
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:
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 of 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!
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 we have been making a candy tree for the New Year. 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 crafts " Candy Christmas tree"we needed:
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.
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 from rubber bands we needed:
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:
Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to everyone for participating! You are incredible!

1. Make it from a leaf thick paper cone.
* If your wrapping paper is quite thick, you can bypass step 1 and make a cone out of wrapping paper.
1.1 Fold the paper diagonally, holding one end to keep it sharp.
1.2 Secure the paper rolled into a cone with tape. You don't need to do everything too carefully, since you will cover the cone with wrapping paper.
1.3 Trim off the excess at the bottom of the cone to create a smooth base.
2. Prepare a colorful wrapping paper and cover the cone with it. To do this, place the paper on a flat surface with the pattern facing down.
2.1 Using tape, attach the end of the construction paper to the top of the cone.
2.2 Begin to slowly twist the cone while wrapping it in the wrapping paper. You need to wrap the cone tightly.
2.3 Measure the paper and cut it before completely wrapping it around the cone. Glue double tape to the edges and connect to the other end. You need to cut off the excess at the base so that the paper is even.
3. All that remains is to decorate the Christmas tree as desired. You can make paper stars, use glitter, stickers, glue on beads and/or buttons, wrap with ribbon, etc.

* Try using two colors of felt to make the Christmas tree even more beautiful. In this example, yellow and orange felt was used.
1. Make a cone out of cardboard. Secure the ends with glue or double tape.
2. Prepare felt and cut circles of different diameters from it, from small to large (see picture). You can use pre-prepared circle templates made from cardboard.
3. Glue Christmas tinsel to the bottom of the cone.
4. Now you need to make a crosswise cut in the center of each circle cut out of felt. Do not cut too much to prevent the felt garment from falling off. Make the cut just enough to fit the circle tightly onto the cone.
5. Start gradually putting circles on the cone. If you are using two colors, then put on the circles sequentially, first one color, then the other. Also worth noting. What to put on the next circle is not only on the cone, but also on top of the tips of the cuts of the previous circle.
6. We decorate the top of the Christmas tree. To do this, simply add tinsel, onto which you will need to add a pre-prepared small felt cone. Secure the tinsel and crown with glue.
* If you wish, you can hide a sweet gift inside the cone.

3. Take any container and make a solution of PVA glue and a small amount of water in it
3. Prepare a floral mesh. Cut it into small pieces and place each one in a container with the solution.
4. Start gluing the pieces onto the cellophane-covered cone. Glue pieces of mesh of different shades in different directions. The joints should be coated with another layer of glue for a more durable attachment.
5. Secure the entire structure with pins and wait for the glue to dry.
6. You have now created the first layer of the Christmas tree. Now you need to make a second layer in the same style. After gluing the second layer, leave the structure to dry.
7. Now remove the Christmas tree from the cone - the glue should quickly come away from the cellophane.
8. Place a garland inside the tree, which must be secured with floral wire.
9. All that remains is to decorate the Christmas tree to your liking.
You will need:
A cone made of plastic or foam (or you can make it yourself from cardboard)
PVA glue
Pasta of various shapes and sizes
Spray paint, acrylic paint or gouache
Brush.
1. Prepare a cone and paint it the desired color. Wait for the paint to dry.
*If you are using spray paint, you can skip this step.
2. Prepare the pasta. Start applying glue to each piece and gluing the pieces to the cone. Design your Christmas tree as your imagination dictates.
After applying the glue, press the piece a little and hold it so that it sticks well to the cone. It's okay if the glue is visible from under the pasta.
Continue until you have covered the cone with pasta. Wait for the glue to dry.
3. Start adding color to the pasta. In this example, acrylic paint was used. Try to paint all the parts carefully so that there are no empty spots.
* It is advisable to paint in two layers.
* If you paint it with white paint, the Christmas tree will look like a porcelain product.
Helpful advice: If you want to remove the craft, then put it in a plastic bag first, so you can immediately find the part that might have come off the cone.
You will need:
Colored cardboard or designer paper
Thick cardboard
Glue moment or glue gun (with hot glue)
1. Cut a square base for the tree from thick cardboard.
2. Insert the skewer into the cardboard and secure with glue.
3. Now you need to cut out circles of different diameters from designer paper or colored cardboard. You need to make 3 circles of the same size.
For example, if you want to make 10 different sizes of circles, then you will need to cut out 30 circles (3 for each size).
*If you don't feel like cutting out a lot of circles, just shorten the skewer and you'll end up with a cute mini Christmas tree.
4. Make a small hole in the center of each circle.
5. Before you start putting the circles on the skewer, lubricate the hole in the middle with glue.
6. Start placing the circles on the skewer, leaving a little space between them.
7. Cut out stars from paper and attach them with glue to the top of the tree. You can use another part for the crown and not necessarily paper.
You will need:
Thick yarn
Yarn with pile
Cone (cardboard or foam)
Pins
Decorations, to taste.
1. Make a paper cone or buy a foam cone from specialized stores.
2. Take both strands and pin their ends at the base of the cone.
3. Start wrapping the threads around the base of the cone, securing with pins approximately every 5 cm.
4. Now start moving towards the top of the cone, carefully wrapping both threads around the future tree. At this stage there is no need to attach the thread to the cone.
5. When you have reached the crown, pin the threads again by wrapping the threads around the crown several times.
6. Both yarns now need to be pulled down, also wrapping the cone in a second layer.
7. At the base of the cone, cut the threads and secure them.
You can leave the tree like this or you can also decorate it.

You will need:
Foam base or matte cardboard
Scissors
Corrugated paper
Masking tape
Adhesive tape
PVA glue
Stationery knife
Marker, optional
1. Lay out foam or cardboard on a flat surface to create a large rectangle (see picture).

* In this example we used adhesive tape black for better visibility, but it is better to use white tape.
3. Mark the size of your future Christmas tree using masking tape.
4. Using stationery knife, carefully cut out the shape of the future tree.
5. Prepare corrugated paper, fold it in half and cut the fringe. You should have many sheets of fringed paper to cover the entire tree.
6. Begin carefully gluing the corrugated paper to the foam, starting at the base of the tree. The fringe should hang slightly below the base to cover the foam (or cardboard), and also slightly cover the top of the tree trunk, which we will make later.
7. Work your way up to the top, covering the entire tree with a bright green coat of crepe paper.
8. Add a hook to the back of the tree so the tree can be hung. Instead of a hook, you can use double tape to cover the perimeter of the tree.
