The outgoing 2016 brought us many different events. Each person had both joyful and sad moments, but all the same, they were simultaneously both sad and bright, because any event is a change and a new stage in the next, new life. Well, since the New Year 2017, the year of new changes and sensations awaits us, we need to meet him with all the honors. Everyone knows quite well that, and also it’s not a surprise to anyone that the main culprit for the celebration on New Year’s Eve is Christmas tree. It does not matter even in what kind of attire and appearance she will be, the most important thing is that she be. Here, for example, there are countries in which the Christmas trees do not grow, but you want real New Year's magic, and that this guest must be present at your holiday. Here then there is a rather simple way out of the situation, independent production of the Christmas tree. Moreover, you can make such a Christmas tree, not one, but several, and congratulate your friends and relatives.
Consider this master class in which we will make a beautiful interior Christmas tree-topotushka, which will perfectly decorate the New Year's table. Why clownfish? Because our Christmas tree will not be planted in a stand, as is usually done, but it will be shod in stylish soft boots, which will give it elegance.
So, for the master class we take the following materials:

Foam cone 20 cm high;
Cord twine;
Gold Christmas beads;
Golden jingle bells;
Floristic wire;
Dense copper wire;
White fleece;
Organza ribbon gold and burgundy;
White paper leaves;
Twigs with shiny glitter;
Spiral branches red and green;
Berries in sugar red, gold, silver;
Gold mesh in brilliant topping;
Rhinestones are silvery;
Glue gun;
Two empty plastic eggs from under the kinder;
New Year's twig;
Gypsum;
Cardboard, scissors;
Beige sisal;
Brown chanel ribbon;
A small section of organza;
Lighter.

So, we begin by inserting a floral wire at the top of the cone.

We smear the top with a glue gun and begin to twine the twine from above.

Completely wrap the entire cone with twine. We wind the bottom of the Christmas tree and glue the Chanel ribbon. From below we cut out a circle from organza and close the cone from below with it. Now we need to make our Christmas tree legs. We bite off pieces of thick wire, fold them in two, and wrap both of our legs in gold brocade.

At the bottom, insert the legs into the cone.

Now we take the empty plastic egg blanks, separate them, then in the smaller ones we make a semicircle cut.

We lean against large blanks, put it on cardboard and circle. Cut out two soles.

Now we glue the blanks to the cardboard with a gun and wrap the boots with fleece. We pull on top and tie the boots with bows.

We also tie two bows with bells and glue on boots. We put the Christmas tree in the boots and fill them with plaster. We give time to freeze. On top of the boots we cover with sisal so that the gypsum is not visible.

Now we just have to decorate our Christmas tree, wrap it with beads, make a bouquet, twist the spirals and glue the decorations to the Christmas tree.
