I want to celebrate the New Year in a good mood. A creative Christmas tree will help to spend the holiday in an interesting and original way. It is easy to make from what is at hand. You can turn napkins, sweets, planks and even pasta into a fluffy beauty.
creative christmas tree
It's not hard at all to create. And it will be so unusual that not everyone will guess what it is made of. The material is very affordable - three-layer paper napkins. First, they need to be turned into “roses”, and then these blanks must be glued onto the base.
So, first make a cone out of whatman paper or cardboard. To do this, cut out the triangle and round its hypotenuse. Glue two legs one on top of the other.
Take the first napkin. It can be green or whatever. Do not unfold the napkin, put a round object with a diameter of 6-7 cm on it, circle it and cut it to size.
Forming roses and attaching them to a cone
Since the napkin is three-layer, folded 4 times, you cut out 12 circles at once, which lie in a pile. Staple them in the middle with a stapler. Now the fun begins. Pick up the first circle and fold it into a wick. This is the core of the flower.
Lift the second circle, fold it, marking 4 edges. It should be close to the core, but not very tight. Twist the third circle in the same way, then all the rest. The last, twelfth, just slightly bend it without lifting it so that it becomes wavy. The flower is ready, glue it to the bottom of the cone.
Make a second rose, attach it in the same way. After the first bottom row, go to the second, placing the roses in a checkerboard pattern. But make flowers for him a little smaller in diameter. This also applies to the next rows. The closer they are to the top of the cone, the smaller the diameter of the blanks. Attach the last rose to the top.
You can leave the Christmas tree like this or decorate it with beads, beads, sparkles.
Colored paper goes
The following idea is suitable for those who want to quickly make a small copy of a coniferous tree. It can be hung as a talisman and decoration on the glass of a car, put on the desktop in the office.
To make a yellow Christmas tree, cut and glue three cone blanks that differ in size. Put the largest one on the table, put a smaller figure on it, and the smallest one on top. To fasten all these parts together, drop glue on the top of the two lower cones, then press for 20 seconds, placing the blanks in the indicated order - from large to small. If you want to hang a Christmas tree, pierce the top of the head with a paper clip and tie it to it. You can leave a small hole at the top of each cone through which you will thread the cord. To keep it tight, tie its two ends into a knot on the back.
Three-tiered openwork Christmas trees made of paper
By almost the same principle, you can create two more small spruces. For the first, cut out 3 circles, the diameter of each is smaller than the diameter of the next. With scissors, make a fringe on the edges of these figures, you can slightly bend it up to give fluffiness to your creation.
On the side of each of the three blanks, make an incision to the center of the circle, put the incised sides on top of each other with a slight smell and glue, but not completely, leaving small holes in the center. You will also pass the cord through them and fix the original craft with it in a hanging position. Here is such a creative Christmas tree turned out. With your own hands, you can make the second one almost the same, stick confetti, sparkles on it and arrange a trio of forest beauties, as shown in the photo.
Once a plank, two planks, there will be a Christmas tree
A creative Christmas tree made from improvised materials turns out to be very original when fantasy is connected. If the household has slats 4-5 cm wide, they are perfect. Since the spruce is triangular in shape, cut the thin planks in such a way that there is a smooth transition from the smallest to the largest. For example, the difference in length between the rails is 10 cm.
Nail the largest rail vertically to the wall, and attach the rest horizontally to this one with screws or nails. They should be symmetrical. Knock them down at the junction of the middle of the main plank with the center of each. Fasten them through the same number of centimeters.
In addition to one main one, which plays the role of a trunk, 7 planks are enough, which will be branches. Here is such a creative Christmas tree turned out. With your own hands, it is easy to wrap wooden branches with tinsel, including the crown. On such wooden boards you can hang socks for gifts. If the gifts are large, they are placed under the spruce.
Don't throw away empty bottles
Under such a tall tree, many gifts will fit. The main thing is not to be naughty around him, so as not to break him. To create this grandiose splendor, you will need many green bottles, circles of glass or hard transparent plastic, plexiglass or plywood.
Start laying out the tree from its bottom. First place the round base on the floor, then place the bottles upside down on it. To make the design durable, it is better to put a little on the bottom of the bottles and fix the container on the base. Place them next to each other.
Put a circle on top of a slightly smaller diameter than the previous one, place and fasten the bottles of the next tier on it. Lay out the entire tree in the same way. Each subsequent row will have fewer bottles than the bottom row. When there is one left at the top, attach a star glued from corks to it. You can admire the glass tree!
Creative pasta tree
There are many ideas for New Year's fantasies. Pasta literally in half an hour will turn into a beautiful Christmas tree. In addition to them, you will need a cone-shaped plastic bottle, a glue gun, green and gold acrylic paints.
Cut off the bottom of the bottle so that the workpiece is stable on the table. Cover the bottom of the bottle with glue, attach the first row of pasta. To do this, use products in the form of bows, then a creative Christmas tree, decorated with your own hands, will look amazing.
Above the first tier, place the second, also gluing pasta. Attach them in a checkerboard pattern with respect to the blanks of the first row. At the same time, place the bows vertically. After that, design the third and subsequent tiers. Then you will have a charming creative Christmas tree. A master class with photos will help you understand how to do it.
After the entire bottle is covered with pasta, put it on the bottom. If you have a stable round support, you can attach it so that the leg of the New Year's beauty can be seen. If not, the tree will look great anyway.
Decorating a pasta miracle
Paint the bows with acrylic paints or with a spray can. Such paints also dry quickly and are applied evenly. The only thing you need to take care of is not to stain the surrounding objects. Therefore, on the street or on the balcony, covering third-party objects with a board or piece of cardboard.
To decorate the New Year's attribute with toys, take openwork pasta. They can be in the form of stars, circles, letters. A creative Christmas tree made with your own hands will help awaken your imagination, and you will figure out which dough products will turn into decorations. If you don't have the ones in the photo, string small pasta onto a strong beaded thread or string, dye it, and then wrap it around the Christmas tree.
This is how a creative Christmas tree is made and decorated with your own hands. The photo shows what color you can paint and how to attach accessories to the New Year's beauty. To do this, you can also use spray paint in a spray can of gold color. When it is completely dry, apply a drop of glue from the gun to each part and attach it to the base.
In order to make a star, glue together 5 identical parts, attaching the sixth to the center. Glue them to a long pasta base, fix on the neck of the bottle with a glue gun. See how such a creative Christmas tree is made with your own hands, the photo shows the nuances of the creative process.
candy tree
The cone will serve as the basis for the next model. In addition to it, you will need sweets in shiny wrappers. Well, if they are green. Lay the first candy vertically, attach it to the bottom of the cone with tape. Attach another one nearby, draw a strip of adhesive tape to also stick to the base.
After completing the first, proceed to the second and subsequent rows. Thus, attach all the sweets to the top of the cone. You can alternate the candy tier with tinsel.
If this Christmas tree is handed over to an adult, fix the sweets in the wrapper in the same way not on a cone, but on a bottle of champagne.
As you can see, there are many ideas for creating creative trees. You can make a Christmas tree from a variety of improvised means, which will give a festive mood and allow you to find yourself in a fairy tale!
There are a lot of options for making an elegant Christmas tree. Consider those of them that can be made from simple improvised materials. All Christmas trees will turn out to be voluminous.
1. Christmas tree made of cardboard
For a Christmas tree 10 cm high, we need a sheet of cardboard, colored paper and scissors.
Workflow: fold a sheet of cardboard in half and cut it. We put two parts on top of each other and draw a silhouette of a Christmas tree on one of them. Cut out the silhouette along the drawn lines. We cut each of the resulting parts to the middle - one from the top, the second - from the bottom. After that, we insert one part of the tree into another. It remains only to decorate the Christmas tree with the help of figures cut out of colored paper. For example, place a yellow paper star on the top of the Christmas tree, and glue circles on the “branches” that will replace the balls.
According to a similar scheme, you can make a Christmas tree from whatman paper, and also connect not two, but four or six cut out silhouettes to each other - then the Christmas tree will turn out to be especially magnificent.
2. Christmas tree-cone made of paper or cardboard
You will need: a sheet of thick paper or cardboard (color is not important), glue, decorations.
The order of work: we twist the sheet so that we get a cone. Trim the bottom to form a perfect circle. We fasten the craft with glue. This will be the base of the tree. Further, everything depends only on your imagination. You can decorate the Christmas tree with cotton wool, beads, paper snowflakes.
3. Pasta tree
You will need: durum pasta in the form of tubes or curls, a sheet of cardboard, a glue gun or plasticine, paint, decorations.
We fold the base of the Christmas tree from cardboard so that we get a cone. Next, using a glue gun, we begin to attach pasta row by row, moving from bottom to top. On ordinary PVA glue, pasta will not stick. But, as an option, you can stick around the base of the Christmas tree with plasticine and already attach pasta to it. When the glue sets, you can start decorating the Christmas tree. For this we use paint. Right on top of the pasta, you can glue tinsel, beads, snowflakes and any other decorations.
4. Christmas tree made of cones
You will need: fir cones, a sheet of cardboard, Moment glue.
The order of work: we twist a cone out of cardboard, glue it, cut off the bottom side to get the right circle. The base of the Christmas tree is ready. Next, glue the cones in it, starting from the bottom row and moving towards the crown. You can decorate the Christmas tree with beads, nuts, snowflakes, etc.
If you have only one cone available, but beautiful (for example, cedar or pine), then you can make a mini Christmas tree out of it.
You will need: a cone, a flower pot, green paint in a spray can, white sparkles, glue, a brush, a star.
The order of work: using paint, paint the previously cleaned cone green. After the paint dries, grease the edges of the cone with glue and sprinkle with white sparkles. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree cone with a star. We fill the pot with plasticine and put a Christmas tree on top of it.
5. Christmas tree made of feathers
You will need: white goose feathers, a sheet of cardboard, glue, decoration materials, a cup, white paper, white satin ribbon.
The order of work: we make a cone-shaped base of the Christmas tree from cardboard. We attach feathers to it with glue (best of all, construction, so that they hold on tighter). We start from the bottom rows - we attach larger feathers there, and closer to the top - smaller ones. We wrap a plastic or cardboard cup with white paper, fasten the edges with glue. You can decorate the glass with beads, stars, rhinestones, etc. We decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a bow of white satin ribbon.
No less interesting are the options for Christmas trees made of feathers painted in different colors. You can color the feathers yourself or buy ready-made ones. The technology for creating a Christmas tree will be similar. 
6. Christmas tree made of buttons
You will need: buttons of different colors and sizes, a sheet of cardboard, glue, beads.
The order of work: glue buttons on a paper cone, alternating different sizes and colors. It is better to glue the buttons with an overlap, so as to completely cover the base of the Christmas tree. Glue a bead to the center of each button.
7. Christmas tree made of wood
You will need: wooden planks, sticks, scraps of old boards, shoe nails, glue, figurines or candles for decoration.
Work order: the Christmas tree is built from square boards and long flat sticks alternately attached to each other. You can attach each subsequent rad to the previous one either with the help of small carnations or glue. You can hang tiny New Year's toys or put small candles on the "branches" of the Christmas tree (it is not recommended to light them).
8. Christmas tree made of felt
You will need: a piece of green felt, a sheet of cardboard, scissors, a marker, glue, beads.
How to work: from the cardboard we fold a cylinder of small diameter (no more than 2 cm) and fasten its edges with glue. We cut out circles of different diameters from felt (the diameter of each subsequent circle should be larger than the previous one). We alternately fold each circle four times and make a cross-shaped incision in the center. From the smallest circle we turn the cone, fasten it with glue. This will be the top of our Christmas tree. We take a cardboard cylinder, string a circle of the largest diameter on it. We do the same with the rest of the circles, in descending order of diameter. We close the top with a small cone. We decorate the Christmas tree with multi-colored beads (they can be sewn or glued).
