New Year is one of the most beloved folk holidays. No holiday excites the imagination like the New Year ...
Interior decoration of the 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 can’t imagine any New Year without the main attribute of this holiday - Christmas trees. Christmas 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 that will become an original and unique decoration for your interior.
Christmas tree number 1. Tools and materials.
1. Cardboard.
2. Pencil, scissors.
3. Clay Master, Titanium.
4. Natural material: bones of various plants, nut shells, acorns, starfish.
5. Spray paint in gold or silver.
Christmas tree manufacturing sequence No. 1.
1. Cut out and glue a cone of the desired 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 is 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 adhesive tape, plastic lids from coffee and plastic jars, etc.
4. On the resulting frame, using the “Master” glue, we glue the bones, nut shells, acorn cups tightly to each other, alternating them with each other.
5. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a starfish.
6. We paint the finished Christmas tree with spray paint.
7. After drying, decorate the Christmas tree with beads and glitter gel.
Christmas tree number 2. Tools and materials.
1. Cardboard.
2. Pencil, scissors.
3. Glue "Master" ("Titan").
1. Natural material: orange (tangerine) peel roses of different sizes.
4. Spray paint in gold or silver.
Christmas tree manufacturing sequence No. 2:
1. We make a frame from cardboard as in the manufacture of Christmas tree No. 1 (item 1-3). We paint with spray paint.
2. We make roses from orange and tangerine peels:
a) peel a fresh orange by cutting the peel in a spiral;
b) cut peel, stack in such a way that a rosette is obtained;
c) let it dry
d) paint the finished roses with spray paint.
3. We glue the roses on the cone in rows tightly to each other. We start from the bottom tier, with the largest roses. We glue each next row in a checkerboard pattern, in relation to the previous one. With each subsequent row, the size of the roses becomes smaller.
4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with an orange peel spiral.
5. Decorate with beads, glitter gel.
For our Christmas tree with a height of 35 cm, we took 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, you need a garland for 50 light bulbs.
Christmas tree with a garland.
1. Cut out and glue a cone of the desired size from thick cardboard. We paint it with spray paint.
2. We make roses.
3. On the cone we mark the location of the roses. In the cone, in the center of the marked roses, we make holes with an awl, 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. We start inserting light 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, we make an additional hole in the rosette (or remove the lower part). If you have more bulbs than the number of roses, they can be additionally placed between the rows of roses.
5. Before gluing the bottom of the Christmas tree, we check the operation of the garland. Only after that we glue the bottom and stand.
6. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with an orange peel spiral.
7. Decorate with beads, glitter gel.
Once again, handicraft craftsmen surprise me: what people don’t make Christmas trees from! Some copies are so original that you can't help imbued with respect for the creative author. Many crafts are nice to me, there are also those that make me smile, and some are astonishing: how could you think of depicting a Christmas tree from this? Well, enough of the introductions, we still have to watch and watch) For us, the main thing is to look for a suitable idea, at least a little consonant with our tastes, and then, you see, your own imagination will connect, make adjustments) And we will get a completely different craft - the author's ) So, let's see what people make Christmas trees from?
Let's start with a tinsel Christmas tree: the material is inexpensive, the work is simple, it takes a little time, and the result is excellent!
To help everyone who wants to make such a Christmas tree - for manufacturing.
Christmas decorations
Another simple and affordable way to perform is from Christmas toys, they are sure to be found in every home. It will not be difficult to depict the New Year's symbol on a wall (or window, door). A little longer will have to tinker with the volumetric image.
But the spatial composition looks interesting. And if, instead of threads, you hang the balls on a thin, colorless fishing line, the illusion of floating in the air will be complete.
As a child, we drew Christmas trees in albums, and now we can do art on the walls of our own house - who will forbid us?
If you decorate a painted fir tree with real toys or a garland, it turns out very interesting!
Garlands
And 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 home-made Christmas trees are paper: the material is inexpensive, it’s easy to work with, 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 paper drawing at all: a charming Christmas tree can be in pastel shades, and in a bright version, and even plain.
Call for help any paperwork techniques that you are familiar with: quilling, origami, modular origami, and so on.
And do not try to copy the craft from the photo exactly, let you get your own creation. The main thing is that the process should be joyful, bring pleasure.
Christmas trees from books and magazines
It will take 20-30 minutes, no more, to make a table 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). Even faster, you can cope with the task if you simply stack the books in a pile, giving it the appropriate shape.
The option in the middle photo quite accurately copies the shape of the Christmas tree, but, in my opinion, is extremely unstable.
I really like Christmas trees made of buttons - simple, but so cute! Anyone can cope with the work, the main thing is the presence of a sufficient number of buttons for crafts. Once I really was about to make such a Christmas tree, but there were very few suitable buttons in stock. I went to the store, chose the right ones, calculated the right amount. Then she knocked out the overall result - how much a set of buttons for the Christmas tree would cost me, and changed her mind about making it.
But I consider the idea worthwhile, anyway, someday I will make such a cute Christmas tree.
If you like to work with beads, these cute miniature Christmas tree ideas will surely come in handy on the eve of the holiday.
All of them are good, but two beauties left a particularly strong impression (photo on the left). I sincerely admire the skill of the author!
A hodgepodge of all sorts of trinkets that any woman must have (earrings, hairpins, buckles, brooches, bracelets, beautiful handbag accessories, and so on that have become unnecessary). This is where you can find a worthy use of the accumulated wealth over the years!
The Christmas tree of 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 with benefit: enjoy every day, tell loved ones about your love, hurry to do good...
Do you want a ribbon Christmas tree? 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 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 folded blank to the stem, but 2-3 at once.
Christmas trees from sesal, jute, tulle
Christmas trees made of mesh (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 everything is ahead of me: local florists carefully wrap even tiny bouquets in huge panels of such nets) A couple more holidays, and I will have plenty of material for crafts)
Crafts from tulle look airy and weightless.
It also holds its shape well, does not crumble on sections, in general, working with tulle is easy and pleasant)
I can’t imagine where you can now find threads on spools of wood? We don't have any for sale! I have a couple of wooden rarities (still Soviet times) so that the children at least know what a wooden coil is. If you have such a rarity in abundance, it will not be difficult to build a Christmas tree)
I like the option in the center the most, and you?
It seems to me that almost no one throws away corks from wine bottles) If you managed to save up enough - Christmas tree options are for you!
Even a small one looks good, and even a large one - and even more so!
An excellent option for New Year's decor, crafts made from natural fibers (threads, twine) look especially stylish: cotton, linen, jute, hemp. The base is made of cardboard (triangle, cone). Generously lubricate it with PVA glue and wrap it with threads.
The Christmas tree is ready! And everyone decorates it to their own taste: beads, cones, flowers, dried fruits - whatever is at hand.
Luxurious New Year's beauties are obtained from lace - in my opinion, they do not even need additional decoration.
Variations on a lace theme: with a base of paper and fabric, with fragments cut out of lace.
The photo shows crafts in pastel colors, but you can make them in any color that fits into your interior.
Christmas trees made of fabric
Have you saved beautiful 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 - Christmas trees made of felt. It is very easy to work with this fabric: it does not slip, the edges do not crumble (they do not require additional processing), it keeps 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 - quite fresh ideas.
I liked the fur craft very much. It is 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 imagination of 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 hand-made blanks: bows, snowflakes, pompoms, and so on.
Christmas trees from cones
Even a child can make Christmas trees from cones: paint it green, decorate it with beads, put an asterisk on top, and attach a stand. All! A wonderful craft made from natural material is ready.
Don't like the color option? Then put them aside: look how charming a Christmas tree looks from ordinary cones, 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). There is no coveted canister? It doesn’t matter: take PVA glue and a brush, lubricate each bump and sprinkle it with improvised material (flour, starch, sugar, salt, soda, grated foam plastic is also possible))) It will turn out just as well!
And if you add a little vanillin to the artificial frost, the Christmas trees will be fragrant with fresh pastries - a small nuance to create a festive atmosphere.
Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of ideas and material for creativity! See what you can adapt for New Year's crafts!
From brushwood, you can make both a small tree and quite impressive sizes - life-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. And I would very much like to thank the author of the Christmas tree-shelf for a great idea: both beautiful and practical, and a festive mood has been created) 
And here are stunningly beautiful Christmas trees made of wood! I would not refuse any of them if I could buy. To make your own skill is not enough, there is nothing to try. 
Here you can see the hand of a true master.
Christmas trees from seafood
If you (like me) like to wander along the seaside early in the morning, collecting shells that you like, pieces of glass turned by waves - there is more than enough material for such a craft.
True, I did not come across starfish, but shells and glass pieces are enough for a Christmas tree three meters high.
You won’t surprise anyone with Christmas trees made of fruits, but nevertheless I included them in the selection, the execution ideas seemed very successful to me.
For crafts, you can take any fruit, up to dried mushrooms and capsicum, but, as I think, they should be required.
Every child's dream
Can we work as wizards? After all, children need so little for happiness ... By the way, a Christmas tree can be made not only from sweets.
Christmas trees from coffee beans
Christmas tree ideas for gourmet drink lovers. If you want with lace - please, in a stylish snow-white design - no problem!
The attractive shapes of today's pasta, as well as their variety, have not escaped the attention of tinkerers. They quickly found application, including for the manufacture of Christmas trees.
The craft in the photo on the left for some reason reminded me of the missing treasures of the Incas)
A lot of time and effort was spent on the construction of bottle trees.
It's interesting to watch, but for some reason I don't want to repeat it)
You know, it’s very interesting to consider all kinds of ideas, of course, but trying to collect them in one article is unrealistic) Somewhere in the middle of the collection, I realized that I needed to somehow group the ideas more tightly, otherwise the review would drag on indefinitely)
Christmas trees from what you want
I couldn’t come up with a more accurate name for this group of crafts) Well, really, how can you combine all this diversity under one concept?
A little bit of 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 accumulated a lot of wooden rulers and brushes, and you have no idea how to attach them to the case - here are great ideas!
And one more practical option) Appearance changes depending on the intensity of decoration. And if you equip the stepladders 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 of)
Well, have you picked up a suitable idea, do you want to repeat something from what you saw? Not? Then 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. A Christmas tree made of mesh touched, and made of 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 to no avail: I did not manage to understand how this structure was created.
O! Here are interesting crafts - from horseshoes. If (as an old folk sign says) even one such metal product can give a person happiness, can you imagine what will happen to the owner of a whole Christmas tree set? Yes, he simply must be completely happy all his life) However, only found horseshoes have magical properties ... So postpone the raid on the nearest stable) Better look for a place where scattered horses constantly lose horseshoes, then everything will be according to the rules)
And here are a few 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 tech tree.
But cozy and practical crafts: after the holiday, pillows can be used for their intended purpose)
Of course, you can not 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 usual appearance. If desired, everything is solved!
Here our review has come to an end. I hope that at least one idea from the proposed ones seemed to you worth the time and effort to create it.
If you still prefer an ordinary live Christmas tree, you don’t have to put up a whole tree: you can make a charming mini-spruce from several branches and floristic foam (sponge). Just do not forget to moisten the foam, then the branches will remain fresh for a long time (rich needle color and aroma).
Or just put a few spruce 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 contest page - there are also a lot of interesting Christmas tree crafts (and not only)! Very convenient: if you find your option - a detailed description of the manufacture is attached)
It's a pity, but surely many of the interesting ideas were not included in my selection 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 embarrassed (I judge by myself) to show their own works, considering them too simple (ugly, not worth attention, and so on). This is mistake! Do not deprive us of the joy and pleasure of admiring your work. Who knows - maybe needlewomen have been looking for your idea for a long time and unsuccessfully, so help them find it!

Some interesting information about the cineraria plant
Well, of course, cineraria is impossible not to love. Its openwork silver-white pubescent leaves are unrivaled. Against their background, any flowers look brighter and more interesting.
And this is cineraria, which we raised with the guys on our site in kindergarten.
Cineraria was discovered by travelers in the 16th century. The original plant immediately attracted European gardeners and became widely used in the arrangement 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. Landscape design was no exception. And although the fan of ships understood little in 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. Long ago, a beautiful princess lived on Earth. And how beautiful she was, so arrogant. She adored the worship of the courtiers, expensive gifts, arranged wild fun. For this she was called bloody. And once a kind, brave young man fell in love with the princess. As far as the princess was arrogant, so he is pure in heart and strong in spirit. But the love of the beauty broke him. He began to seek meetings with her and was ready for any madness. But the girl did not notice him, or rather ... pretended not to notice, because she was not used to showing her feelings, she expected that he would spread like a carpet in front of her endlessly. But, having decided that the love of a heartbreaker cannot 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. So strong was her despair that the girl turned into a scattering of beautiful blood-colored flowers. After some time, another plant appeared nearby - a harsh silvery hue, as if dressed in knightly armor. This is how, according to the myths of the natives of Madagascar, the bloody and silvery cineraria appeared.
Beautiful, but a little sad.
Materials needed 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. Burlap;
8.Alabaster;
9. Glue moment "Crystal" or glue gun;
10. Decorative ornaments.
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 turn the sheet into a bag and equalize in a circle.
We take a small piece of thick wire, bend a little from one end.
We insert it into the top of the base, fix it with glue and teip tape.
We fill the void of the base with the newspaper. Cover the last layer with white paper.
We take a stick and insert it into the base, it turns out the trunk of a Christmas tree.
We glue the base of the Christmas tree with sisal.
We close the bottom, and wrap the top of the Christmas tree.
We take a glass and burlap. We decorate the glass with burlap.
We pour alabaster, "plant" our Christmas tree. We wait until the mixture hardens.
Let's get down to the most interesting and basic work! We glue the base of our Christmas tree in a circle with cineraria leaves.
We paint over the alabaster with white gouache, glue the braid along the edge of the cup.
We decorate. We glue half beads, a bump.
We glue the star, decorate the Christmas tree with beads.
Add glitter.
Our Christmas tree is ready and will be a wonderful decoration for any interior for the New Year holiday.
