DIY shabby chic style Christmas tree

Let's make this amazingly beautiful and original craft V fashionable style shabby chic.

Required materials.

For the base, take a large paper glass or any plastic dishes. Separately, dilute alabaster or gypsum with water to the thickness of liquid sour cream and pour it into the future pot. We secure the trunk of our tree, plant the branch in the center and fix it in this position until it hardens.

We make a cone out of cardboard using a stapler.

We make the top of the spruce from wire and foam rubber.

We connect the top to the trunk and attach the cone.

We wrap the base of the tree with white fur.

We cut off the excess from below.

Then we bend the ends of the burlap inward and attach it with hot glue.

Let's get to the fun part - decorating our Christmas tree in shabby chic style.

To create the finished composition we will need a stand.

We make a bench from a bamboo napkin.

From white fur - a snowman.

We attach a bell to the top of the spruce.

We decorate the New Year tree with beads, pearls, flowers, lace, etc.

Apply transparent glue to the very top of the tree.

And sprinkle with artificial snow.

We do the same with the bench.

Our composition " Winter's Tale"Ready!

Decorative Christmas tree made from napkins

We will make it from cardboard and single-layer napkins. You will also need beads for decoration.

First of all, let's build a frame for our Christmas tree. We roll a cone out of cardboard, fasten it (I stitched it with thread) and cut off the bottom of the cone exactly so that it can stand.

The base is ready, put it aside for now. Now let's move on to napkins. We will make roses from them. Single-layer plain paper napkins are suitable for us.

Take a napkin and cut it along the folds. Then we fold it in three and cut along the folds again.

We fold the resulting strips in three and cut them again. We got a square equal to 1/9 of a napkin.

We fasten this square in the center with a stapler.

Then cut a circle out of it. Mega-precision and accuracy are not required here at all; the finished rose can be slightly adjusted with scissors.

This way a rose is formed. If the finished rose seems uneven to you, then you can trim it with scissors.

The number of such flowers depends on the size of your cardboard cone. My Christmas tree was 21cm high and I needed 59 roses for it.

When all the flowers are ready, we return to the cone. Starting from the top of the head, glue the flowers onto the cone so that the base is not visible. I glued it with hot glue (it’s more convenient for me), but ordinary PVA will do.

I made a Christmas tree out of napkins of two colors. If you also decide to create your own craft from multi-colored roses, then you can safely experiment with alternating them on a cone. If the result does not suit you, you can always tear off the flower and re-glue it to another place. In this case, only the lower layer of the flower will be damaged. We simply tear it off (the bottom layer). The rosette will not lose its appearance.

So, we glued the flowers to the cone. The Christmas tree itself is ready and you can stop at this stage.

I also decorated it with beads - I glued it with the same hot glue, PVA won’t help here.

Christmas tree made of plasticine with candies

What do we all associate with wonderful holiday New Year? With the smell of pine needles, bright lights, garlands, sweets. And children still create unusual crafts with your own hands, thereby bringing closer the pleasant moment of the onset of a fabulous night. They love creativity lessons on this topic most of all. It is in crafts that you can realize any fantasies.

We suggest making an elegant Christmas tree that can be easily decorated with candies. Make a craft from plasticine - the cheapest and most popular material. You will definitely make a beautiful souvenir if you follow our tips - they are not complicated.

To sculpt a Christmas tree with your own hands, prepare:

• green plasticine for the crown;
• stump in the form of a cap or an empty spool of thread;
• toothpick, red and white plasticine for candy.

Select a green block of plasticine from the set. The body of the Christmas tree itself will be made from it, and in the future we will make small candies as toys. Of course, a small souvenir does not have to be green; another color that you choose will do. If you manage to find a set on sale that contains a gold bar, then this option will look rich.

Knead the entire prepared block thoroughly in your hands and prepare for further work. It is necessary to form a cone-shaped crown, and not quite the usual flat one, but a curved one, similar to the cap of a fairy-tale gnome. Because we're talking about about a magical holiday, it is not forbidden to fantasize and create something incredible.

Pull all the soft plasticine into a long cone. Make the upper part as sharp as possible, press the lower part around the circumference with your fingers, showing the skirt. Then take and bend the entire structure to the side. Sometimes the Christmas trees do not stretch up perfectly straight, but lean to the side like this.

For modeling Christmas tree decorations– small candies – use white and red plasticine. Form red round tablets (the inner part of the candy), as well as white triangles (the twisted part of the candy wrappers).

Glue delicious candies together. Glue a white dot onto each red round piece and press it in the center with a toothpick. Glue the triangular pieces on the sides.

Make enough decorative details to fill the entire surface of the Christmas tree, evenly distributing the candies around the circumference at some distance.

Glue all the resulting blanks to the crown. This beautiful New Year's craft is almost ready. Press down a small lid - a stump - from below (or mold it from plasticine).

And the top is still missing. She just begs to be added to the resulting fairytale Christmas tree. Come up with some option, for example the same spruce branches in combination with red berries. All this looks festive and bright.

This is such a fantastic Christmas tree. This is an elegant version of crafts for the New Year, which will become a great gift for your favorite holiday.

The New Year is just around the corner - you need to hurry up to get everything done.

Work plan:

The procedure described below must be done with each page in the magazine. If the cover is thick, you can simply detach it (tear it off).

1. Fold the page, upper right corner, at an angle of 45 degrees to you.

2. Once again fold the sheet in half diagonally.

3. We go through all fold lines with a fingernail or other object so that they do not open, especially thick pages.

4. Fold the bottom corner that extends beyond the borders of the magazine upward.

Further, the cut out page will itself serve as a template for other pages. You can cut out several pages at once, but you shouldn’t cut a lot at once, as the cut line will turn out uneven (crushed) and the tree will not open well.

Haven’t decided what is the best gift to give to your family and friends or how to decorate your interior? We will help you. You can create a wonderful craft with your own hands without making much effort and without investing a large amount of money. Let's make a Christmas tree out of cardboard. It's simple, fast, unusual, beautiful. Treat yourself and those around you. Check out detailed instructions with photo.

To work you need:

• sheet of paper (size depends on what type of big Christmas tree You want);
• 2 sheets of thick cardboard (the same size as the paper);
• white acrylic paint (or any other durable and thick paint);
• green and white gouache (or other thick, permanent paint).
• Moment glue (or any other glue that grips well and glues elements well);
• decorative elements (cotton wool, beads, stars);
• stationery knife,
• scissors,
• brushes,
• sponge.

Step by step instructions

1. Let's get started. Let's take our sheet of paper, we remind you that its size depends on your desire. The more, the higher and more magnificent your craft will be. Fold the sheet in half.
2. After we have folded the sheet in half on one side, near the fold we will draw the outline of the future figure. You only need to draw half of the spruce, you can be creative and make the stem wider or thinner, more branches or fewer, it all depends on you and your desire. Then we do not open the sheet, but cut out our stencil along the drawn outline. We got the symmetrical outlines of our craft. Our main workpiece is ready.



3. Let's move on to cardboard. Let's trace our blank on a sheet of cardboard. If the cardboard is thick and will hold its shape well when painting our figure (when painting, the cardboard gets wet, softens and can become deformed), then we cut out 2 figures. If you doubt that your cardboard can withstand painting and not deform, cut out 4 figures. If you cut out 4 figures, then you need to glue every 2 stencils to each other, thus getting 2 trees. Glue with glue once completely dry. After applying the glue and the figures to each other, you can put them to dry under a press so that the shape does not change and remains straight. (for example, under a stack of books)



4. Now we need to give our Christmas trees volume. Mark the two resulting shapes (one from top to middle, the other from bottom to middle). We made the figures 20 cm high, so our markings will be 10 cm each (exactly half of the figure), and the stripes also need to be marked in width (the width of our leg is 6 cm, therefore, the strip will be starting from 3 cm from one edge of the leg). We cut out the resulting markings with a stationery knife along the previously drawn stripes.
5. Then we put our blanks into each other to get a three-dimensional shape with 4 branches on different sides (we fold it like a puzzle). Let's start preparing for color. We paint our blank with white acrylic paint, completely covering it on all 8 sides and not sparing the material used (we can say we prime, create a base for the final color). If you don't have acrylic paint, then take any other thick, persistent, bright and well-holding color.



6. After waiting for our white layer to dry, we move on to our real color for the beauty. Now we're laying down a nice green. We also don’t skimp on the material, but we don’t overdo it either. The color needs to be uniform and rich.
7. After our green base has dried, we move on to the volume. Take any sponge. Pour the paint into any bowl or you can blot it directly into the cone. We wet the sponge in light green paint (it can be obtained by mixing our green and white paints) and spread it over the tree with point movements. It turned out beautiful effect needles on our branches. Let's further sprinkle our beauty with snow. We take a brush, fluff it, dip it in white paint and apply white paint with light strokes, barely touching our figure, so as not to overdo it. This should be done without much effort. Once dry, our Christmas tree will get a snowy effect.
8. Next comes the moment of your most important creativity. We move on to decorating our Christmas tree. We showed with an example how to decorate with beads. We glued them with Moment glue. You can paint the top of the beads with a little white paint (as if they were covered with snow). We will decorate the other side of the Christmas tree with other decorative elements (we took stars different sizes and colors). When turning in the wind (if you end up hanging it on a real Christmas tree or in the interior), it will be interesting to look at the different sides of your creativity, which differ in their design. To give a greater snowy effect, glue a little cotton wool.

Our cardboard Christmas tree is ready! She’s like a real girl – a snow-covered beauty in the middle of the forest. Show your creativity, add something of your own to our interesting ideas, created especially for you. Delight your eyes and those around you this New Year with your craft.
