Purpose: interior decoration of the premises for the New Year.
New Year is one of the most beloved folk holidays. Not a single holiday excites imagination so much as the New Year ...
Interior decoration of a room is one of the ways to create a fabulous, New Year's atmosphere. Tinsel, garlands, decorations - bring a sense of celebration to any home. And, of course, we cannot imagine a single New Year without the main attribute of this holiday - Christmas trees. Fir-trees can be different: real forest beauties or artificial, stylized, fantasy ones. The most important thing is that the Christmas tree creates a festive mood that would last as long as possible.
I suggest you make your own Christmas trees from natural materials, which will become an original and unique decoration for your interior.

Herringbone number 1. Tools and materials.

1. Cardboard.
2. Pencil, scissors.
3. Clay Master, Titan.

4. Natural material: bones of various plants, nut shells, acorn cupules, starfish.

5. Spray paint in gold or silver color.

The sequence of making a Christmas tree number 1.

1. Cut out and glue a cone of the required size from thick cardboard.

2. We make the bottom of our Christmas tree: on the cardboard we draw a circle (the diameter of the cone), around it another 1 cm. more. Cut out, bend the edges to the desired diameter and glue to the cone.

3. Glue the stand to the bottom of the Christmas tree. For the stand, you can use a cardboard base from scotch tape, plastic lids from coffee and plastic jars, etc.

4. On the resulting frame, using the "Master" glue, glue the bones, nut shells, acorn puffs tightly to each other, alternating them with each other.

5. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a starfish.

6. Paint the finished Christmas tree with spray paint.
7. After drying, decorate the Christmas tree with beads and glitter gel.

Herringbone number 2. Tools and materials.

1. Cardboard.
2. Pencil, scissors.
3. Glue "Master" ("Titanium").
1. Natural material: roses from orange (tangerine) peel of different sizes.
4. Spray paint in gold or silver color.

The sequence of making a Christmas tree number 2:

1. We make a frame made of cardboard as in the manufacture of a Christmas tree No. 1 (p. 1-3). We paint with spray paint.

2. Making roses from orange and tangerine peels:
a) peel a fresh orange by cutting the peel in a spiral;

b) cut the peel, put it in such a way as to make a rose;

c) let it dry;

d) we paint the finished roses with spray paint.

3.Glue the roses on the cone in rows tightly to each other. We start from the bottom tier, from the largest roses. We glue each next row in a staggered manner, in relation to the previous one. With each subsequent row, the size of the roses becomes smaller and smaller.

4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a spiral of orange peel.
5. Decorate with beads, glitter gel.
For our 35 cm Christmas tree, it took us 56 roses of different sizes, from large to smallest.
If you want your Christmas tree to glow, you can insert Christmas garland bulbs into the center of the roses. With a Christmas tree height of at least 35 cm, a garland of 50 bulbs is needed.

Herringbone with a garland.

1. Cut out and glue a cone of the required size from thick cardboard. We paint it with spray paint.
2. We make roses.
3. On the cone, mark the location of the roses. In the cone, in the center of the marked roses with an awl, we make holes into which we insert garland bulbs from the inside of the cone. The holes in the cone should be small so that the bulbs fit snugly into the cardboard.

4. Begin to insert the bulbs from the top of the cone. When all the bulbs are inserted, glue the roses so that the bulb is in the center of the rose. If necessary, make an additional hole in the rose (or remove the lower part). If you have more light bulbs than the number of roses, you can additionally place them between the rows of roses.

5. Before gluing the bottom of the Christmas tree, we check the work of the garland. Only after that we glue the bottom and the stand.
6. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a spiral of orange peel.
7. Decorate with beads, glitter gel.

Once again, handicraftsmen surprise me: from what people do not make New Year's firs! Some copies are so original that one cannot help but feel respect for the creative author. Many crafts are nice to me, there are some that make me smile, and some are amazing: how could you come up with a picture of a Christmas tree from this? Okay, enough prefaces, we still have to watch and watch) For us, after all, the main thing is to look for a suitable idea, at least a little in tune with our tastes, and then, you see, your own imagination will connect, make adjustments) And we will have a completely different craft - the author's ) So, let's see what people make Christmas trees from?

Let's start with a Christmas tree made of tinsel: the material is inexpensive, the work is simple, it takes little time, and the result is excellent!

To help everyone who wants to make such a Christmas tree - for making.

Christmas decorations

Another simple and affordable method is from Christmas tree decorations, they certainly will be found in every home. It will not be difficult to depict the New Year's symbol on the wall (or window, door). You will have to tinker with the volumetric image a little longer.

But the spatial composition looks interesting. And if, instead of threads, you hang the balls on a thin colorless fishing line, the illusion of soaring in the air will be complete.

As a child, we drew Christmas trees in albums, and now we can quite do creative work on the walls of our own house - who will forbid us?

If you decorate a painted spruce tree with real toys or a garland, it turns out very interesting!

Garlands

Or you can not draw anything: attach the garland to the wall, giving it the shape of a Christmas tree. A wonderful express option for giving the room a New Year's look.

Don't like the tree on the wall? Then "put" it in the center of the room or in the corner)

By the way, an additional plus - then you don't have to waste time removing toys and cleaning fallen needles)

Perhaps most of the options for homemade Christmas trees are made of paper: the material is inexpensive, it's easy to work with it, the result can be very good!

Not only colored paper is used, but also napkins, newspapers, pages from books, cardboard packaging.

You can ignore the drawing of paper at all: a charming Christmas tree can be in pastel shades, and in a bright version, and even monochromatic.

Call for help with any paperwork techniques that are familiar to you: quilling, origami, modular origami, and so on.

And do not try to exactly copy the craft from the photo, let you get your own creation. The main thing is for the process to be joyful and enjoyable.

Christmas trees from books and magazines

Making a desktop Christmas tree from an old magazine (well, what can I do, my reverent attitude towards books does not even allow me to assume that crafts can be made from them), it will take 20-30 minutes, no more. You can accomplish the task even faster if you simply stack the books in a pile, giving it the appropriate shape.

The variant in the middle photo quite accurately copies the shape of the tree, but, in my opinion, is extremely unstable.

I really like the Christmas trees made of buttons - simple, but so cute! Anyone can handle the job, the main thing is the availability of a sufficient number of buttons for the craft. Once I was just about to make a similar Christmas tree, but there were very few suitable buttons in stock. I went to the store, chose the right ones, counted the right amount. Then I came up with the overall result - how much it will cost me a set of buttons for the Christmas tree, and changed my mind about making it.

But I think the idea is worthwhile, anyway I will make such a cute Christmas tree someday.

If you like working with beads, ideas for cute miniature Christmas trees will certainly come in handy on the eve of the holiday.

They are all good, but two beauties left a particularly strong impression (photo on the left). I sincerely admire the author's skill!

A prefabricated hodgepodge of all sorts of trinkets that any woman must have (earrings, hairpins, buckles, brooches, bracelets, beautiful accessories from handbags, and so on). This is where you can find a worthy use of the wealth accumulated over the years!

The Christmas tree from the clock looks symbolic: as if it reminds us of the transience of time, of the uniqueness of every moment. As if he advises not to waste precious minutes on empty grievances and quarrels, but to live them profitably: to enjoy every day, to talk to loved ones about your love, to rush to do good ...

Want a Christmas tree made of ribbons? Easily! All that is required for work is the tape itself, a glue gun, a stand and a base that plays the role of a barrel. First, prepare pieces of tape: for the bottom row - the longest, for the second (bottom) - a little shorter, and so on. Fix the base (wire, kebab skewer) on the stand. Roll up the pieces of tape, apply glue to the edges and attach to the base.

The glue gun can be replaced with simple bobbin threads. Perhaps this will go even faster than with glue: you can attach not one rolled blank to the barrel, but 2-3 at once.

Christmas trees from sesal, jute, tulle

Christmas trees from a grid (sesal, jute) look very impressive. There is no way to buy this material in our village, otherwise I would definitely try to make such a craft.

But I have everything ahead of me: local florists carefully wrap even tiny bouquets in huge panels of such nets) Another couple of holidays, and I will have plenty of material for the craft)

Crafts from tulle look airy and weightless.

It also holds its shape well, does not sprinkle on the cuts, in general, working with tulle is easy and pleasant)

I have no idea where you can find threads on spools of wood now? We certainly do not have such on sale! I have a couple of wooden rarities (still from Soviet times) so that the children know at least what a wooden reel is. If you have such a rarity in abundance, it will not be difficult to build a Christmas tree)

I like the center option the most, do you?

It seems to me that almost no one throws away wine bottle corks) If you have managed to accumulate a sufficient amount - Christmas tree options are for you!

Even a small one looks good, and even a big one - and even more so!

An excellent option for New Year's decor, crafts made from natural fibers (threads, twine) look especially stylish: cotton, flax, jute, hemp. The base is made of cardboard (triangle, cone). Generously grease it with PVA glue and wrap it with threads.

The Christmas tree blank is ready! And everyone decorates it to their own taste: beads, cones, flowers, dried fruits - whatever you can find at hand.

Luxurious New Year beauties are made from lace - in my opinion, they don't even need additional decoration.

Variations on a lace theme: with a base of paper and fabric, with fragments cut from lace.

In the photo there are crafts in pastel colors, but you can make them in any color that will fit into your interior.

Christmas trees made of fabric

Have you saved some pretty scraps of fabric that you can't find a use for? Take a closer look at these pretty Christmas trees - maybe you should make one of them?

The option is even simpler - felt Christmas trees. It is very easy to work with this fabric: it does not slip, the edges do not crumble (do not require additional processing), it holds its shape well.

Buttons, simple embroidery, a few beads - and from a modest craft before our eyes it turns into a stylish one.

In my opinion, these are quite fresh ideas.

I liked the fur craft very much. It's a pity that there is no suitable material, otherwise I would gladly make one.

Christmas trees from separate fragments

There is no limit to the fantasies of the craftswomen) Balls of thin strips of fabric, balls of thread, flowers of ribbons - in skillful hands, everything will fit for making a Christmas tree!

And it can also be made from self-made blanks: bows, snowflakes, pompons, and so on.

Christmas trees from cones

Even a child can make Christmas trees from cones: paint them green, decorate with beads, put an asterisk on the top of the head, fit a stand. Everything! A wonderful craft from natural material is ready.

Don't like the paint option? Then put them aside: see how charming a Christmas tree made of ordinary cones looks, without any additional decoration. The crafts in the photo on the right seem to be covered with frost: it is easy to depict it using artificial snow (spray). No coveted spray can? It doesn't matter: take PVA glue and a brush, grease each bump and sprinkle it with the material at hand (flour, starch, sugar, salt, soda, grated polystyrene is also possible))) It will turn out just as good!

And if you add a little vanillin to the artificial frost, the Christmas trees will smell of fresh baked goods - a small nuance to create a festive atmosphere.

Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of ideas and material for creativity! See what can be adjusted for New Year's crafts!

From brushwood, you can make both a small tree and a rather impressive size - in full size.

If the sight of bare branches makes you sad, just decorate them with Christmas decorations.

I liked these vintage plywood trees - they have an inexplicable charm in them. And I would very much like to thank the author of the Christmas tree shelf for the great idea: both beautiful and practical, and a festive mood has been created)

And here are the stunningly beautiful Christmas trees made of wood! I would not refuse any of them if I could buy. It is not enough to do it with your own hands, there is nothing to try.

The hand of a real master is visible here.

Christmas trees from seafood

If you (like me) like to wander along the seashore in the early morning, collecting your favorite shells, turned by waves of glass - there is more than enough material for such a craft.

True, I did not come across starfish, but shells and glass would be enough for a tree three meters high.

You won't surprise anyone with Christmas trees made of fruits, but nevertheless I included them in the selection, the ideas of execution seemed to me very successful.

For crafts, you can take any fruits, up to dried mushrooms and capsicum, but, as I think, should be mandatory.

Any child's dream)

Maybe we can work as wizards? Children need so little for happiness ... By the way, a Christmas tree can be made not only from sweets.

Christmas trees made from coffee beans

New Year tree ideas for lovers of an exquisite drink. If you want with lace - please, in a stylish snow-white design - no problem!

I guess the dyed grain craft won't be as fragrant as her friends on the left.

The attractive shapes of today's pasta, as well as their variety, have not escaped the attention of lovers of craftsmanship. They quickly found application, including for the manufacture of Christmas trees.

The craft in the photo on the left for some reason reminded of the lost treasures of the Incas)

A lot of time and effort was spent on the construction of bottle Christmas trees.

It's interesting to watch, but for some reason I don't want to repeat)

You know, considering all sorts of ideas, of course, is very interesting, but trying to collect them in one article is unrealistic) Somewhere in the middle of the selection, I realized that it was necessary to somehow group ideas more closely, otherwise the review would drag on indefinitely)

Christmas trees from what you want

I could not think of a more accurate name for this group of crafts) Well, really, how can you combine all this variety under one concept?

A little imagination, a minimum of decor, and the role of a Christmas tree will be successfully performed by glass jars, flower pots and plastic yogurt cups.

If suddenly you have a lot of wooden rulers and brushes, and you have no idea how to attach them to the case - these are great ideas!

And another practical option) The appearance changes depending on the intensity of the decoration. And if you equip the ladders with improvised shelves, they can be placed on them even for a very large family.

And, if absolutely nothing more suitable was at hand, make Christmas trees from what you have a lot)

Well, have you picked up a suitable idea, wanted to repeat something from what you saw? No? Then we continue)

A separate section is devoted to metal crafts. I didn't think there would be so many ideas!

And, I repeat, I took only a part, trying to cover as many options as possible. The Christmas tree made of mesh touched, and from the barbed wire - inspired sadness and unpleasant associations.

I noted the Christmas tree made of bicycle rims for myself as interesting and uncomplicated in execution, but I looked at the installation of clothes hangers for a long time, but unsuccessfully: I did not manage to understand how this structure was created.

O! Here are interesting crafts - from horseshoes. If (as the old folk tradition says) even one such metal product is capable of giving a person happiness, can you imagine what will happen to the owner of a whole Christmas tree set? Yes, he just has to be completely happy all his life) True, only the horseshoes found have magical properties ... So postpone the raid on the nearest stable) Better look for a place where scattered horses constantly lose their horseshoes, then everything will be according to the rules)

And here are some more ideas for a New Year's symbol made of metal. How do you like works of art from ordinary saws? I was impressed, and how!

And two more pretty beauties.

A fragile Christmas tree made of light bulbs and a miniature techno tree.

But cozy and practical crafts: after the holiday, pillows can be used for their intended purpose)

Of course, you cannot ignore the New Year's money tree)

And do not say that you have absolutely nowhere to put the Christmas tree, or that you are bored with its familiar look. If desired, everything can be solved!

So our review has come to an end. I hope that at least one of the proposed ideas seemed worth the effort and time to create it.

If you are still prettier than an ordinary live Christmas tree, it is not necessary to put a whole tree: from several branches and floral foam (sponge), you can make a charming mini-spruce. Just do not forget to moisturize the foam, then the branches will retain their freshness for a long time (rich color of needles and aroma).

Or just put a few branches in your favorite vase - it's up to you to decide what and how your Christmas tree will be made of!

Go to the competition page - there are also many interesting Christmas tree crafts (and not only)! Very convenient: if you find your version - a detailed description of the manufacture is attached)

It's a pity, but surely many of the interesting ideas were not included in my collection for a simple reason - I did not see them. Join, supplement the selection with your ideas in the comments, there is still time before the holiday, let there be as many options for crafts as possible! And one more thing: many are ashamed (judging by myself) to show their own works, considering them too simple (ugly, not worthy of attention, and so on). This is mistake! Do not deprive us of the joy and pleasure of admiring your work. Who knows - maybe it is your idea that needlewomen have been looking for for a long time and unsuccessfully, so help them find it!

Some interesting information about the cineraria plant

Well, of course, one cannot help but love cineraria. Its openwork silvery-white pubescent leaves are unrivaled. Against their background, any flowers look brighter and more interesting.

And this is cineraria, which we grew up with the children on our site in the kindergarten.

Cineraria was discovered by travelers in the 16th century. The original plant immediately attracted European gardeners and began to be widely used in the organization of botanical gardens in Italy, France, and England.
The flower was brought to Russia only under Peter I, who, as you know, was a progressive politician and loved all sorts of innovations. Landscaping was no exception. And although the fan of ships knew little about botany, he still liked the unusual flower, which was transported to Russia and adapted to our harsh conditions.

The local peoples of Madagascar had such a belief in the appearance of cineraria. A long time ago, a beautiful princess lived on Earth. And as beautiful as she was, so arrogant. She adored the worship of courtiers, expensive gifts, and arranged wild fun. For this she was nicknamed bloody. And once a kind, brave young man fell in love with the princess. As much as the princess was arrogant, he is pure in heart and strong in spirit. But love for the beauty broke him. He began to look for meetings with her and was ready for any madness. But the girl did not notice him, more precisely ... she pretended not to notice, because she was not used to showing her feelings, she expected that he would crawl in front of her endlessly. But, deciding that the heartbreaker's love could not be achieved, the young man went to war, where he laid down his head. The princess found out about what had happened and ran to the high slope of the mountain. Her despair was so strong that the girl turned into a scattering of beautiful bloody flowers. After some time, another plant appeared nearby - a harsh silvery shade, as if dressed in knightly armor. So, according to the myths of the aborigines of Madagascar, bloody and silvery cineraria appeared.
Nice, but a little sad.

Materials required for work:
1.A sheet of white thick paper or cardboard;
2. Thick wire;
3. Newspaper;
4.Sisal;
5.Cineraria;
6. A glass or a small bowl;
7.Single sack;
8.Alabaster;
9.Glue moment "Crystal" or glue gun;
10.Decorative decorations.

Step-by-step workflow:

We take a sheet of thick paper. There are many options for making a cone, but I went the easy way.
We fold the sheet into a bag and equal it in a circle.
