It is difficult to imagine the New Year holidays without an elegant spruce. She is the hero of the occasion and a unique element of the festive decor. So why not create a creative Christmas tree with your own hands, which will delight the owners and surprise guests at home. An ideal option is a suspended structure. Such a decoration will not take up much space and will add a highlight of magic to the home.
Ease of fringe
A fringed Christmas tree is a light, enchanting interior detail. To make such a product with your own hands is not difficult. To make a Christmas tree you will need:
- Chinese wooden sticks or skewers for mini skewers.
- Fringe of green color with a width of 15-20 cm.
- Wire.
- Cardboard or paper.
- Pompons or garland of them.
- Great ruler.
- Hot glue (gun).
- Scissors.
Prepare five wooden sticks for the base. The size must be varied to create a Christmas tree effect. For example, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm and 50 cm. The fringe is cut into the same lengths.
Important! In order for the product to be neat, it is necessary to make allowances of 0.5 cm on the fringe.
The fringe tape is fixed on sticks with a glue gun. A thin wire is fixed at the largest link in the tree so that the free edges are the same. Next, we fix each tier of the Christmas tree, crossing the wire. We turn the remaining ends into a ring - this is the attachment point of the suspension structure. It turns out a fantasy Christmas tree frame.
It remains only to decorate with pompons. You can use other decorative elements: tinsel, rain.
Christmas trees from popsicle sticks
These crafts can be used as toys for a Christmas tree or as a standalone decor. So, to create mini-fir trees you will need:
- popsicle sticks;
- decor (stars, pompons, rhinestones);
- rope;
- ruler;
- "glue gun";
- gouache paints.
Sticks need to be painted. This is a creative process, so you can paint elements as desired. Leave to dry completely. The sticks are cut off at the edges so that each subsequent one is 1-2 cm shorter.
The cut-off elements are glued to one of the sticks, so that a Christmas tree appears, in the form of a pyramid. A loop is made from the rope and attached to the resulting construction on hot glue. The frame is ready, it remains to decorate. To do this, decor elements are glued onto horizontal sticks.
Thus, you can create a whole garland of soaring Christmas trees.
Balloon Aerial Design
Such an element of New Year’s decor will become an adornment that marks the creativity and creative nature of the creator. To create such a "flying" Christmas tree you need to prepare:
- Christmas balls;
- a metal grid in the shape of a circle, the diameter depends on the estimated size of the product;
- chain with medium-sized links;
- carbine;
- fishing line;
- scissors.
A suspension for the grill is made from a chain. To do this, it is divided into 4 equal segments. All edges are connected with a carabiner, a structure will be mounted on it to the ceiling.
The formation of the Christmas tree occurs on the principle of a spiral, starting from the top. Christmas balls are fixed with a fishing line varying its length from short to long.
Important! It is necessary to increase the length of the fishing line by a fixed length. This is necessary so that the tree has a clear, recognizable shape.
The result is a mobile from balls.
Cones hanging spruce
This option is quite simple to implement, so children can be involved in the process. Necessary materials and inventory:
- Colored cardboard, thin plastic can be used.
- Circle pattern.
- Pencil.
- Transparent adhesive tape.
- Kapron threads.
- Scissors.
- Gypsy needle.
Using the template, draw circles on the cardboard. Then the details are carefully cut out.
Life hack: as a template, you can use a plate or a cover from dishes. The diameter of the circle may be the same for all parts or slightly different. Cut a sector of a circle equal to one quarter. Glue the part with tape, forming a cone. 3 elements will be required.
Cones are strung on a thread. Each part is fixed using knots that are made in front of and after the part.
The product can be decorated with decorative elements, for example, rhinestones or pompons. Using several elements, you can create a garland of such conical fir trees. To do this, several elements are fixed on the rail. At the same time, it is better to leave the length of the rope different in order to get the effect of randomness.
Christmas tree spiral
Depending on the type of beads, the size of the spruce can vary. So, for example, if you use beads, you can get stylish earrings or a pendant. For the element of New Year's decor, it is recommended to use large beads.
To create a "spiral" you will need a dense wire of such a cross-sectional diameter that it matches the hole in the bead, wire cutters.
Cut the wire, give it the shape of a spiral. To facilitate the process, you can use a cone on which the wire is wound, as on the form. At the top of the improvised Christmas tree, using a pair of pliers, a fastening ring is formed. Beads are strung on the wire in the desired order. The end is fixed by bending the wire into a hook.
Having shown imagination, you can make a truly unique element of decor. New Year is a time of miracles and magic. It is worth letting a miracle in the door, and small decorative elements will help you immerse yourself in the fairy tale of the holiday.
