You can build such a tree with your child in just 30 minutes. Any kid will easily collect accordion blanks for the Christmas tree, and parents will help to fasten and string them on a stick.

It is worth saying the following about the process of assembling a Christmas tree. Barbecue stick is set in a glass or pot. It is fixed in various ways. Plaster, polyurethane foam, pebbles, cereals, sand, paper. Specifically, in this master class a cup-candlestick was used. It is all filled with wax and therefore there were no problems with fixing the trunk of the spruce.

The floors ate on a stick without glue, since the blanks from corrugated paper are well bonded to each other in a circle. And very tightly strung on a barbecue stick. If you are afraid of the design of the spruce, then you can drip the glue and fix the position of the floors with it.

1. We will need:

• Corrugated paper.

12. We prepare 8 such floors-blanks. The diameter of the lower workpiece is 25 cm, and the top 5 cm. The width of the accordion for the lower floor was 2 cm, the width of the accordion of the upper floor is only 0.5 cm. Reduction can be done by eye, without accurate calculations. A couple of millimeters there, a couple here, this will not affect the general appearance of the Christmas tree.
