Crafts for the New Year from cones with their own hands: photo master-class

Crafts from cones: jewelry-toys-pendants

Such bumps can be hung on both the Christmas tree andjust leave the hanging from the ceiling on very long transparent or white threads. One of the most common trends now is a minimalist "airy" tree, when there is no tree as such, there are only about two to three dozen balls, cones or other toys suspended from the ceiling on filaments of different lengths so that visually they are a cone-shaped contour Christmas trees. The best thing for such a toy is a long pine cone.

You will need: cones, fishing line or strong thread, paint from a can, two large beads. It all depends on the style in which you want to make your toy. Here we will talk about a slightly cold, very winter high-tech combining chrome in the form of hoarfrost and dark brown, warm texture and cone color, so that the paint will need silver or light gray metallic, and the beads - metallic, glossy. Paint on top of the cone with paint from the can, so that the frost lay unevenly and loosely.

You can fill the entire cone with the color, but the effectit turns out somewhat different - an integral object, and not touched by the frost of nature. Gently tie a small piece of thread to the bottom of the cone so that it descends approximately in the middle, and fasten one of the beads to the string. Do the same thing above, but do not cut the excess thread immediately - it is the toy that will be suspended on it.

Christmas or New Year's wreath with cones

The wreath in the Western tradition is padded from the stucco,spruce branches, and hangs on the door to please the eye, to pay tribute to the religious tradition and to promise happiness in the new year. We rarely hang them on the door even from the inside, but nevertheless, it's a good decoration for, for example, a bookcase or picture. The wreath spins from long, but maximally flexible spruce branches that you can type in a forest or buy at a Christmas tree market, but in itself it would look very naked.

In the branches weave different Christmas decorations, butthe best option is cones equipped with the same thread to fix them well on the branches. Cones before interwoven paint - either in "natural" color, applying a little bit of white paint on the very tips of the scales, as if from a powdered snow, or the whole bay in such colors as, for example, silver or red metallic, or completely gilding them - entirely or spiral strips. In a wreath, it is best to combine bumps colored in several different ways, the main thing is that they harmonize in colors.

Decoration of cones on a table or shelf

Of cones you can make almost any figure, waswould be a fantasy, but one of the prettiest is the installation of a real tree, for example, bonsai. You will need a few short, strongly open cones, a piece of a branch, preferably thick and somehow unusually curved, glue and fishing line, paint in cans of the chosen color and a flower pot with sand or plasticine to fix the "tree" in it.

Connect the cones into two or three "balls" or an oval,different in size, using a fishing line or glue. It will be the "crowns". Paint them from the can, trying to apply the paint very easily and not completely paint the bumps. Cover the whole color of the "trunk" and the pot. Fix the crowns on the "trunk" with a line and place the whole tree in a pot.
