Cardboard Christmas tree

I do different crafts do it yourself and I love to make them out of unnecessary things. And today, my master class is dedicated to this. Soon a new year, so the crafts will be New Year's. We will make a Christmas tree.

For the manufacture we need:
- Pencil (felt-tip pen).
- Cardboard (box not needed).
- Stationery knife.
- Glue.
- Polyethylene of different colors (garbage bags or food).
- Beads.
- New Year decor.
- The magnet.
- Your free time.

First you need to determine the size of the tree. It is best to draw it first on a newspaper, and then circle it on cardboard and cut it out. The base of the Christmas tree is from an unnecessary box. Yes, on the top of the head we will need to leave not a big wand. Then we glue a star on it. It’s better to make the wand wider and longer than mine, otherwise the star will not hold well.
Now we retreat from the edges of the tree three to four centimeters and draw a line around the entire perimeter. Then with a knife we ​​cut it out. Here is what happened.

Also from cardboard we cut a star of the right size. Its size depends on the size of your tree. You can draw a star yourself, or you can download it on the Internet. Of course, we also cut it out.

Now we need a strip of red polyethylene (garbage bags), we glue it with a stick on the top of the tree.

Glue the star on a stick. I used hot glue.

Again we take red polyethylene and cut it into equal squares.

We take one square, put it upward and bend it in half.

Now we bend the extreme corners so that they are on the same level with the upper corners. In general, we should get a rhombus.

So do with all the squares and tightly, to each other, glue them to the star.


We glue the Christmas tree in exactly the same way, only we take polyethylene of a different color. My Christmas tree will be blue. And the squares can be cut in different sizes, so our New Year's beauty will turn out more magnificent.

The Christmas tree is ready, now we will decorate it. There is where to give imagination. You can stick the beads.

Yellow and white polyethylene can be used to make bows.

It can also be decorated with New Year's confetti. At the back of the Christmas tree you can stick a magnet and hang it on the front door or refrigerator.

Many people make Christmas wreaths with their own hands, but they are usually round. And today we learned with you that such wreaths can be of different shapes, such as you want. Experiment with the shape of the wreath (for example, it could be a horseshoe, a star, or even the face of Santa Claus) and you will get unique crafts every time.
Goodbye, see you soon, happy New Year to you and your family.
