DIY Christmas tree made from office paper. Paper Christmas tree: diagram
Good afternoon, today I am uploading the largest selection of Christmas trees made from paper. Here you will see the most interesting models– there will be Christmas trees made from crepe paper, from napkins, from cardboard, you will learn how to make a Christmas tree from a paper egg cassette, from toilet paper rolls and bags folded from book pages. In this selection of master classes We will consider only paper versions of the most beautiful DIY Christmas trees - both flat models and three-dimensional designs. Here are the ideal crafts for the New Year's school competition.
So let's get started.
Idea No. 1
Beautiful Christmas tree MADE OF PAPER FANS.
Even children will be happy to make such a voluminous Christmas tree. The principle of addition is very simple - you first need to make fan circles of different sizes. And then string these circles onto the SAME BASE ROD (which we used in the previous Christmas tree). Or you can do it without a rod - just glue the tiers on top of each other (by dripping a drop of glue in the middle of each “floor” of the Christmas tree.
Below we see the principle of creating such fans. They are made from a long strip of paper. The strip folds like an accordion. We roll the accordion into a ring (fastened at the edges with glue). After the glue has dried - sew one side of the accordion ring with a needle and thread– we tighten the thread (very carefully so as not to break the paper) – and at the same time we place the accordion ring in a flat circle. We press on the middle of the resulting circle with some object - thereby we crush the convex ribs of the accordion so that they wrinkle and become a little flatter.
Different sizes of Christmas tree tiers are achieved by a simple principle– the narrower the accordion strip we have, the smaller the circumference of the resulting fan will be. Below in the photo you can see a detailed master class on creating such a Christmas tree from paper.
This beautiful Christmas tree is made from bright paper napkins or sheets of gift paper.
And if you put a BEAD between each tier of a paper fan tree, then we will get air, space between the tiers of the tree (as was done in the photo of the paper Christmas tree below).
Idea No. 2
Christmas tree box MADE OF PAPER.
But this method is the most convenient for beginners. Convenient in that a simple drawing here guarantees a 100% result in the form of a neat three-dimensional Christmas tree made of paper. Moreover, this tree can be used as packaging for small gifts if you hide jewelry or a bottle of perfume inside.
Since the layout of the drawing above requires a large square piece of paper, I give a more economical way to consume paper space (pattern diagram in the photo below). You can cut out the tree blades separately, two at a time. And then fold them, glue them crosswise.
Idea No. 3
BLADE Christmas tree made of cardboard.
And here is a bladed Christmas tree made of cardboard or thick paper. It's also very easy to make yourself. To create such a Christmas tree, you can use regular packaging corrugated cardboard (as in the photo below).
How many wing blades can such a cardboard Christmas tree have?
You can make a four-bladed Christmas tree by connecting two flat pieces crosswise. To do this, in each Christmas tree silhouette you need to make a cut along the central center line to the center of the Christmas tree. On one part, the cut is made on the TOP HALF of the silhouette - on the second part, the cut is placed on the LOWER HALF of the silhouette.
I found this Christmas tree stencil made from paper, but you can take any other shape of a Christmas tree with any lines of legs (smooth, rounded, curling upward, etc.).
If desired, such a herringbone cross can be placed on a base in the form of a roll of cardboard (a cut from a toilet paper roll will do). On such a roll we make 4 cuts (to the south, west, north, east) - and into these cuts we insert each of the four blades of our Christmas tree.
But a Christmas tree can have more than four blades - FOR EXAMPLE, you can make two silhouettes - 2 with a notch at the bottom and 2 with a notch at the top.
And then connect them into a Christmas tree like the one in the photo below - it will have as many as 8 blades(as in the photo below). Each blade can be covered with a different shade of green colored paper. As finishing paper, you can use gift paper with polka dots, diamonds, flowers (as in the photo below)
Using a similar paddle technique, you can make beautiful ball toys for such a Christmas tree - also from paper.
Idea No. 4
Christmas tree made of paper circles.
Here’s another idea for a voluminous paper Christmas tree. We make this Christmas tree from ordinary flat paper circles. We fold each circle multiple times along DIAMETERAL LINES. We align each fold edge with alternation - one up, one down, one up, one down, etc. Detailed master class in the photo below.
You can improve this model of Christmas tree, if, in addition to everything else, you bend half of every second such rib upward - as if forming ladle shape(how it's done in the photo of a paper Christmas tree below). And in each such curved bucket-foot he will put a bright bead. And we will get an already decorated paper Christmas tree with a beautiful three-dimensional shape.
Idea No. 5
Flat Christmas tree USING ORIGAMI TECHNIQUE.
Here's another simple one example of origami technique to create a modular Christmas tree out of paper.
Here we simply fold paper modules from a square napkin (the napkin is folded in half along the floors, and then unfolded and folded in half again, but this time DIAGONALLY.
Then we lay the napkin back and bend it along the lines formed so that each corner of the diagonal fold is like a separate blade.
From several of these bladed modules-tiers we create a Christmas tree - simply by gluing it onto a flat base. Often such an origami Christmas tree made of paper can be seen as an applique on a New Year's card.
Idea #6
Christmas tree made of PAPER,
strung ON A ROD.
If we have a rod that we have forced to stand exactly vertically and not fall, then by stringing a variety of paper silhouettes onto it, we can get a New Year’s tree craft.
The main rule that must be followed is to ensure that the lower paper silhouettes are larger than the upper ones. That is, so that the size of the parts decreases as you move up to the top of the tree.
The most important thing is to MAKE A ROD. How to quickly and easily make an axis-base from a cocktail tube, so that it turns out strong and unbending.
And here's what Christmas tree (pictured below), which is made from STRIPES of felt, but it can also be made from strips of colored paper or cardboard).
Everything is also very simple. MATERIAL: cut stripes we take the colors we need cocktail tube(it’s better to insert 2 turbos one into the other to make it longer), cardboard(for the base circle), hole punch and stapler(either glue or threads with a needle. Now I’ll tell you in detail how we can make such a Christmas tree at home - with our own hands.
STEP ONE. We are preparing the base-rod for the Christmas tree craft.
And cut out 2 identical circles from cardboard. Leave one cardboard disk intact. And in the middle of the second disk we make a round hole (punch it with a nail and widen it so that a cocktail tube can fit through). Threaded into a cardboard disk cut the tube with scissors from the bottom side(vertical cuts of 1 cm - chick-chick - like we cut straws for blowing soap bubbles). We push these cuts apart like rays of the sun. And we get this “ray-shaped spread-leg”. We place this splayed leg on the second cardboard disk (the one that remains intact, without a hole).
And now we GLUE BOTH DISCS - and it turns out that the spreading leg is now, with its rays, sandwiched and glued between the cardboard disks - and as a result, our cocktail tube stands EXACTLY VERTICALLY STRAIGHT.
STEP TWO. We string the material for the “feather” of the Christmas tree onto the rod.
Cut the tape (fabric or paper or felt) into strips. Please note that the strips are not the same length. Each pair of strips is 1-2 cm smaller than the previous pair. In the center (middle) of the strips we make holes with a hole punch (or cut them with a nail or scissors). We string the strips onto the tube-rod - first the long ones, then the shorter ones and finally the shortest ones.
And now we glue the strung strips together (or sew them with threads, or fasten them with a stapler) in pairs in order so that we get an ACCORDINATE-ZIGZAG (as seen in the photo). We attach a star to the top of the tube - we also cut out two silhouettes of the star (front and back) - so that the top of the rod is hidden between the two sides of the star.
Idea No. 7
TIERED Christmas tree
made of paper or cardboard.
And here is a nice three-dimensional Christmas tree made of cardboard. Here we also stocked up on paper circles of different sizes. The edge of the circles was made wavy. Then each circle was cut along the radius - and turned into a cone. And the cones were strung on a rod.
I’ll show you exactly how to string the cones onto a rod so that there is air between them (and so that they don’t form like little balls of each other) using the example of white lace Christmas trees made of paper, which we see in the photo below.
We will need a rod (wooden culinary skewers will do). Large beads and lace paper napkins.
To make cones from round napkins, we make a radial cut. We cut along the radius of the circle from the CENTRAL point to the edge.
The beads between the cones will prevent them from running into each other. And our Christmas tree will turn out airy.
You can make cone-shaped Christmas trees from spare pieces of wallpaper.
You can use sheets of colored office paper.
Idea #8
Christmas tree made of crepe paper.
Here is another beautiful children's Christmas tree made of paper. Here we need a BASE for the Christmas tree in the form of a tall paper CONE. We cut out a semicircle from paper and roll it into a consu bag.
Cut the crepe paper for long wide ribbons. Then along the paper tape make fringe cuts. Next, we wrap our paper consu with this paper ribbon with fringe - starting from the bottom and gradually in a spiral, turn by turn, moving towards the top. Each incised twist the petal into a curl.
This Christmas tree craft is suitable for classes at school or a Skillful Hands mug in kindergarten.
Idea No. 9
Christmas tree made of crepe paper.
And here is a convex Christmas tree made from a paper egg cassette. We cut out the cells of the cassette in the fork of the triangle. We paint them green with gouache. Spray with nail polish (so that the gouache does not stain your hands and the color becomes brighter). And on each bottom of the cassette cell we glue a circle of colored paper. We cut out star silhouettes of different sizes from cardboard and form a puff star.
This children's craft is convenient for conducting a lesson in a school creativity club.
Idea #10
Volumetric Christmas tree made from CONE
(6 ways to decorate)
And here is another Christmas tree made on the basis of a tall cardboard cone. We buy whatman paper (a large sheet of paper) - cut out a semicircle - bend the semicircle into a cone.
Here the main monotony of labor is cutting multi-hundred circles. And then there is a gradual pasting of these circles in the form of scales - starting from the bottom rows of the cone and gradually moving to the top of the tree-cone. Children who often sit idle in anticipation of the New Year holidays will be happy to be distracted by such a children's New Year's tree craft. And this will benefit you, no one will hang around the kitchen and disturb you in preparing the New Year's table.
Such a cone-tree can be placed on a long stem-leg. And place the rod on a plasticine pedestal. We make a thick round cake from plasticine. We bury the base of the rod in plasticine. We decorate the plasticine sole with cardboard and pieces of moss or other natural material (bark, peeled pine cone scales, etc.).
Pasting a Christmas tree-cone can be done loops made from strips of paper. Or if you are too lazy to cut the paper, you can buy a long roll of textile tape, cut it into pieces, bend each piece into a loop and glue it onto a cardboard cone - also in rows from bottom to top.
Can be done made of fabric (or paper) triangular folds. Fold the square in half diagonally, and in half again. Layer the corners of the triangle on top of each other so that the triangle curls up like a ladle. We will glue the side of the ladle to the cone-base of the tree.
As you can see, you don't have to use fabric - you can use regular colored paper, crumpled crepe paper, or even newspaper (and then spray paint it).
You can also use it to cover a Christmas tree. paper cupcake cups. How this is done in the figure below. This children's craft will be a real New Year's entertainment for your children. Simple and fast - and very beautiful.
Idea No. 11
Christmas tree with paper straw decoration.
And here is another Christmas tree based on a paper cone. Here, small paper shavings are used as material for gluing the cone. You may find these shavings in boxes used to ship fragile items. Or cut such straws with office paper scissors yourself - make a large pile of shavings and decorate the Christmas tree using regular PVA glue.
We also glue pine cones and Christmas balls onto the cone - we plant them on hot glue from a glue gun(sold in the construction departments of the store - costs $5, the glue for it is very cheap in the form of rods).
The Christmas tree can be placed on a pedestal made of round log cuts. And crown it with a star. You don’t have to buy it either - you can make such a star with your own hands from ordinary newspaper paper. I explained how such a star is made in the article.
This is also good option for a simple children's craft for the New Year. Because it's simple, easy and fast. Ideal for a 20-minute lesson in the “Skillful Hands” circle. The main thing is to prepare cones, straws and decorative material in advance.
Idea No. 12
Christmas tree
from paper rolls.
Here is a Christmas tree made from paper rolls. We roll up rolls from ordinary sheets of paper (even from office drafts), attach them with a stapler or glue (so as not to unfold).
In the photo below we see that an ordinary glass goblet (or a jam vase) was used as a stand for such a voluminous rolled Christmas tree.
Using this principle, you can make a bright Christmas tree if you roll rolls from colored table napkins.
You can put a rolled Christmas tree on a long stick and stick it into a flower pot with soil.
Below is a classic way to create such a Christmas tree from paper rolls.
But here is a method where the bags are not glued to the base cone, but are simply laid in radial circular rows.
Such paper bags can create a Christmas tree on any plane - on the wall or on the office door. A quick and easy way to make a beautiful office decoration for the New Year. I’ve collected even more New Year’s decor ideas for cabinets and office spaces in a special article
Idea No. 13
Christmas tree using QUILLING technique.
(4 ways from flat to voluminous)
And here are paper Christmas trees made using the QUILLING technique. They can be flat as in the photo below.
It's simple.
STEP1 - paper is cut into strips.
STEP 2 - Each strip is twisted around a quilling rod (or a simple toothpick).
STEP 3 - The twist fits into the circle-hole of the stencil - and inside this round frame of the hole we relax the twist (so that it unrolls slightly, but within the specified size).
STEP 4 - Next, we carefully remove the twist from the stencil and seal its tail (so that the twist does not unwind further, but maintains the size specified by the stencil. This way we will get round twists of the same size.
STEP 5 - Then we take a round twist and with our fingers we set the SHAPE of the twist - it can be DROP-SHAPED (as in the photo with the herringbone below). And from such twists we glue our Christmas tree out of paper.
Such a children's craft can be offered during classes in a school creativity club. You can do it together with grandmothers and children for a competition in kindergarten.
The corners of the droplets can be slightly bent upward (as in the photo of the Christmas tree below).
You can make Christmas trees using the quilling technique to suit any fancy shape.
DOUBLE-LAYER Christmas tree using quilling technique.
But here is a Christmas tree made of paper using the same technique - where quilling modules are glued not to a sheet of paper, but to themselves - that is, they are stuck together with their sides facing each other. And such gluing of paper twists is laid in two layers
Quilling Christmas tree made of paper - ON THE ROD.
Quilling twists can be placed on the rod. We make a rod from cardboard onto the edges of which we will glue the twists. Here we see a striped herringbone, where the twist modules are attached to a central cardboard rod.
But here is a herringbone where the central cardboard rod has a hexagonal cross-section - that is, this rod has 6 sides and 6 edges. On these flat sides we attach the base of paper droplets. Please note that here the droplets are of different sizes - at the bottom there are large twists (made according to a large stencil-hole), and at the top there are smaller ones. We attach a rhinestone to the tip of each droplet.
You can glue the twist droplets with their sides down, as was done on the Christmas tree in the picture below.
Quilling twist can be placed around a round rod - and put the modules in a horizontal plane (as in the photo of a paper quilling Christmas tree below).
Fastening modules to a round rod will serve another flat strip of paper the same color. First we wrap the paper around the rod on glue– we leave the tails sticking out on both sides of the rod – and between these tails there are stripes We put our finished twist and hug it with our tails - gluing them to the twist. In order for such fasteners to hold better – we repeat it with another strip of paper (and, if necessary, with another strip) - this way our twist will ideally keep its horizontal plane.
You can make a simple quilling Christmas tree from weak loops and curlicues from cardboard or thick non-quilling paper (as done in the photo below).
Quilling Christmas tree made of paper - BASED ON A CONE.
You can glue the twist modules not onto the rod, but onto a classic cone base.
The cone can be round(as in the photo above). Or the cone may have rectangular section– that is, have ribs and flat sides (as in the photo below). On such planes cone-pyramid convenient to apply any quilling patterns. And we will get a patterned 3D Christmas tree.
You can involve children in this craft. They will be happy to add modules. And then they will help you paste them over the Christmas tree pyramid. A good children's New Year's craft.
Idea No. 14
Christmas tree made from bushings
from toilet paper
Here's another idea for a paper Christmas tree. Here, the material used is rolls of cardboard and paper of different diameters. You can use rolls of adhesive tape and masking tape, supplement them with cardboard rolls from toilet paper (shortening them to the height of the adhesive rolls), you can use narrow tubes from office fax paper (also cut into short lengths). Twist homemade cardboard rolls.
And from such prefabricated material, fold and glue a Christmas tree. Rolls can be glued together using a glue gun or double-sided tape. A simple craft that children will enjoy participating in.
You can only use toilet paper rolls that are the same size. And make a pyramid-shaped Christmas tree out of them. First, we paint the rolls green, dry them, and glue them. To prevent the gouache paint from sticking to your hands and staining your clothes, you need to spray the dyed and dried rolls with hairspray - the paint will set and the color will become brighter.
Inside each roll we put a Christmas ball (you can just put it or you can hang it from the hole in the roll) - you can use it instead of a ball put a large candy in a shiny wrapper. You can decorate the side of such a Christmas tree made of paper rudons with glass beads for New Year's beads.
If you start collecting rolls in advance and involve the entire staff of your company, then you can make a very tall, large Christmas tree to decorate the office.
Here's another way to construct a Christmas tree from paper rolls. There is a more economical consumption of material here, since the herringbone empty inside. They're just made from rolls rings– (rolls just stick together in a round dance with your sides. And then like this round dance rings made from rolls are placed on top of each other and New Year's Christmas balls are placed in their bells. We first paint the rolls in the desired color.
These are the ideas for a DIY paper Christmas tree that I have collected today in this article. Now you can choose a simple and beautiful way to make a Christmas tree for yourself. Good luck with your New Year's creativity and beautiful Christmas tree crafts. May everything work out now and in your New Year.

Using templates, it’s easy to make original three-dimensional paper Christmas trees, which are equally good as New Year’s interior decor and homemade Christmas tree decorations.
To work you will need paper or thin cardboard, a template and scissors.
Volumetric Christmas trees made of paper: 3 options
1. Option
Despite its sketchy appearance, the Christmas tree looks beautiful and interesting. To make it, you will need a rectangular piece of paper that needs to be folded in half.
The width and length depend on the desired size of the Christmas tree, but it is important to take into account the template data so that it fits into the area of the paper folded in half.
Print the template and cut it out.
Then you can make the Christmas tree. But, this is if you have plain paper. You need to make a Christmas tree from cardboard as in my example, since not every printer can use thick paper. That is, trace the printed and cut out template on cardboard and cut it out again, but this time into a cardboard blank. Another option is to redraw it.
Please note that the straight dotted line should be on the fold of the paper. You should also cut along the lines from the fold side.
This is what you will get for a Christmas tree.
For further work, open it.
Then the cut strips need to be directed through one in the other direction, making folds on the sides. That is, first bend the second strip inward.
Then leave the third unchanged, but direct the fourth strip in the other direction.
Repeat until you run out of stripes. Watch the side folds, it is advisable that they are even. The smallest one can be bent with a thin object - a pen rod, a kebab stick, etc. At the very end, bend the sides a little. You will get such a voluminous Christmas tree made of paper, stable on the surface.
Option 2
Another cute Christmas tree that is easy to make using a template.
Fold the paper in half and cut along all the lines except the dotted ones.
Open the workpiece.
Bend the strips in the other direction, alternating them through one another.
The Christmas tree is ready.
3. Option
The template is not much different from the first one. The difference is that here the lines are straighter.
Use the template.
Cut out the paper blank.
Open it and direct the stripes in the other direction, alternating them through one another. Bend the sides.
This is how you will get voluminous paper Christmas trees.
They can be decorated with paper toys, a variety of New Year's decor, and stickers.
Christmas tree stencils for cutting out of paper are an economical way to decorate not only your windows, but also the walls of your house, but even the Christmas tree itself, because it is impossible to imagine the New Year without its main attribute - a Christmas tree, even if it is a paper version. By cutting out just a few details using a template, you can create a luxurious composition that will create the atmosphere of a real fairy tale. You can find many examples of beautiful, simple and complex paper Christmas tree stencils, as well as how to use them correctly, in our material.
History of vytynanki
Cutting a New Year's tree out of paper is similar to the art of weaving, which has an interesting history and dates back to ancient times. The essence of this art is to cut out openwork figures and silhouettes, both the simplest and more complex; you can even make entire compositions at one time (solid vytynanka). The peculiarity of the vytynankas is that they turn out to be very sophisticated and beautiful, they can be hung on the window (and previously window shutters were decorated this way), framed and attached to the walls.
This technique was first used in Ancient China, if we talk about a specific period of time, then this is the seventh century. As soon as paper became an accessible material, it began to be used not only for writing, but also as decoration. Only in the 20th century did the art of vytynanka begin to be used both in Russia and in Europe. So, gradually such decorations began to be popularized and actively used to create a festive atmosphere. Vytynankas were carved for Easter, and for weddings, and for kalyads.
Nowadays, the shape of a New Year tree has become especially popular. And if earlier you had to come up with drawings and patterns yourself, now ready-made sketches can be found on the Internet and printed on a printer.
If you like the idea of decorating your office or home using protrusions, then many stencil templates (mainly in the form of the main symbol of the year - the Christmas tree) can be found at this link - https://yadi.sk/d/4n9pWVAL34dsoN. These examples of openwork figures can be downloaded for free and then used for your creativity.
What you need to have to cut out Christmas trees using stencils and how to do it
Using ready-made New Year's stencils in the form of Christmas trees saves the creator's time, but the option of creating the stencils yourself is not excluded. For these purposes the following will be useful:
A4 sheets of paper, if the protrusion will be attached to the window;
Thick cardboard for creating figures that will be hung;
Manicure scissors;
Stationery knife;
Soap solution.
Advice! Those who love handicrafts should definitely look into specialized shops and find special kits for creating vytynankas, which include everything you need for this creativity.
Making a vytynanka is very simple: you should download a stencil and print it, or draw your own individual sketch on paper, then, using scissors and a stationery knife, start cutting out patterns and a figure. When the finished Christmas trees or other New Year attributes are cut out, all that remains is to secure them in the right place. If this is a window, then it is best to use a soap solution for fastening. It firmly holds the product on the window, and when the holidays are over, the decoration can be easily disposed of, and you don’t even have to wash the windows.
To hang the vytynanka, you need to make a small hole at the top of the figurine and thread a thread through it. A garland of vytynankas is created and broadcast in a similar way, only the thread is threaded through all the links of the garland. There is an easier way to create a garland - by gluing the figures together.
New Year is the most fun and children's holiday.
Even adults are not afraid to look funny in red Santa hats and with a bunch of gifts.
What can we say about the kids who, in this joyful chaos, are trying to take part in all the activities!
The main attributes of the New Year are Santa Claus and a Christmas tree.
Traditionally, a large Christmas tree is decorated with toys and tinsel, and round dances are performed around it. What if you make a non-traditional Christmas tree?
A beautiful DIY paper Christmas tree will not claim a central place, but it can decorate a child’s room or become a souvenir gift. Believe me, such a Christmas tree will find its use.
A Christmas tree is made from paper, cardboard, colored and corrugated paper, tinsel and any other available materials.
It’s easy and fun to do: the kids take part in the work with great pleasure.
Two-year-old children, for example, can roll plasticine balls, which later become a toy, or glue a small part to the place indicated by adults.
And the memories of a joint craft will last for several days.
There are at least a dozen ways to make a paper Christmas tree with your own hands, but in any case
you will need:
- Paper (colored, corrugated, thick - whatever)
— Pencil with ruler Glue and stapler
- Scissors
- Sometimes a compass
Model No. 1. Three-dimensional paper Christmas tree
First, the base of the tree is made - a cone. If the tree is planned to be large, the cone is made from whatman paper (it can be replaced with four A4 sheets glued together). Mark the center in the center of the wide side, draw lines from it to the two lower corners, cut it off (don’t forget to leave an allowance for gluing), cut off the semicircular base, glue it, check that it’s level. On this basis - a cone - you can make several different versions of Christmas trees. You can get a large paper tree if you make a large cone, and a small one - on a small cone. And the different methods of making needles will generally be misleading: it may seem that these are different Christmas trees.
The first version of the cone tree
To make the blank cone look like a Christmas tree, we make needles from colored paper. Traditionally, the needles are green, but you can assume that there is snow or frost on the branches - the choice of color is yours. We outline the rectangles: for the lower needles, the width of the rectangle is 7 cm. We make a trapezoid from the rectangle: the upper side is cut off. The wide side is folded into a triangle and fastened with a stapler or glue, the top side is convenient to glue to the cone.
Volumetric needles can be replaced with circles glued to the top. If you cut out circles of different shades of green, the tree will look more original.
The needles are glued in rows, 
starting from the bottom. To make the tree look beautiful, reduce the size of the needles every three rows. That is, we first draw rectangles 6.5 cm, then 6 cm and 5 cm. We decorate the top of the tree with a small cone, the bottom of which is cut off with triangles. If desired, the Christmas tree is decorated with sparkles. You can use ready-made glitter, or finely chop tinsel. Apply glue to the needles and sprinkle glitter on them.
The second version of the Christmas tree-cone
We build a frame, cut thin short strips from colored paper, and wrap each strip around a pencil. The stripes take on a curled appearance. With a certain skill, you can twist strips of paper with scissors: carefully draw the blade of open scissors from one end of the strip to the other, while simultaneously pulling out the strip. Glue the twisted strips to the cone. You can decorate the Christmas tree with anything: sparkles, bows, balls, stars.
The third version of the Christmas tree-cone
We glue drop needles onto the prepared frame. We make needles from strips of green (or any other) paper, glue their ends together - we get a drop. We glue larger drops at the bottom of the cone, and smaller ones at the top.
The fourth version of the cone tree
Wide strips of paper cut into fringes are glued to the base. Again, the stripes are wider at the bottom (accordingly, the needles are longer), at the top the stripes are narrower. The color of the needles can be any: green will make it natural, multi-colored - decorative. We cut the strips into small “needles”, not cutting to the end of about 1.5-2 cm. After the glue has dried, the needles can be bent upward - carefully draw the blade of the scissors from the base of the needles to the ends. Such a Christmas tree made of corrugated paper will look beautiful.
Model No. 2. Christmas tree made of paper and cardboard
You will need double-sided cardboard. Fold a sheet of cardboard in half and draw the outline of the Christmas tree. We draw exactly the same outline on another sheet. We cut out both contours, then make slits along the axis to the middle: on one Christmas tree at the top, on the other at the bottom. We insert the parts into each other. We decorate with tinsel, balls (glass or paper), sparkles - whatever you like. The photo shows slotted toys.
A similar Christmas tree can be made from colored paper. It will require 4 sheets. Fold each sheet in half and cut out a triangle. We glue the resulting parts together and cut them at an angle with a needle. You need to tighten them before the glue dries.
Model No. 3. Christmas tree made of colored paper
For this model you will need thick paper. It’s easy to do: cut out a triangle, fold it like an accordion, make a through hole into which we insert a stick-rod. To make the Christmas tree stable, a stick can be inserted, for example, into an eraser. This Christmas tree can become a small souvenir or decorate your workplace. She will definitely create a New Year's mood.
Model No. 4. Christmas tree using papercraft technique
The diagram clearly shows how such a Christmas tree is made from paper. You need to cut out several circles of different diameters (the bottom of the tree is from circles of larger diameter, the top is from circles of smaller diameter). Circles are drawn and cut, needles are folded. The finished tiers are strung on a rod. We decorate the Christmas tree with sparkles, beads, foil bows - the imagination is limitless.
Model No. 5. Folding Christmas tree
For such a Christmas tree, several circles of different diameters are cut out. The diameter and number of circles depends on the desired size of the Christmas tree. Fold each circle in half 4 times, unfold and straighten the circles. The trunk of the Christmas tree can be made from an old pencil, a cocktail straw, a wooden stick - all this is wrapped in colored paper, the tip is glued. We cut a small hole in the center of each circle (it should be smaller than the diameter of the trunk to hold it tighter). We string circles in tiers onto the trunk, starting from the bottom. A Christmas tree stand can be made from a wooden spool, cork, a plastic bottle cap, plasticine, or glued together from thick paper.
