Christmas tree of ribbons

To make a Christmas tree from tapes, you can use Both ribbons of cloth and packing tape, used when decorating gifts. Ribbons made of fabric look more elegant, but the gift ribbon keeps the shape better. What tapes to choose, it's up to you: everything will depend on what you end up wanting to see your artwork.

Christmas tree made of ribbons is done on the basis of a cone of thick paper or thin cardboard. To make it, cut out of cardboard orcircle paper and cut it in half. Take a semicircle, fold it in the form of a cone and glue it. The ribbon needs to be cut into small pieces of the same length and fold each piece in half to make a loop, and fasten its ends with glue or thread.

Obtained loops of ribbons need to be glued on the cone with tiers, moving from the bottom up. Each next tier should cover a littleThe previous one, so that there are no places to attach the ribbons to the base. Instead of glue, you can use pins: so you do not accidentally stain your Christmas tree, besides, the incorrectly attached loop can be easily moved. The top of the craft can be decorated with a gift bow or a small toy.

Using this simple technology, you can doa huge number of different Christmas trees. You can make a motley herringbone by alternating ribbons of different colors. And depending on the width and length of the ribbons, the tree can seem more or less magnificent. Can decorate the tree with "toys", sewing ribbons of beads, beads or small buttons.

By the way, that the tree looked more magnificent and unusual, instead of eyelets you can use bows, roses and other elements made from tapes. Do not be afraid to show imagination!

A similar way is done flat fur-tree from tapes, which can be hung on the wall orused as a Christmas tree toy. From the cardboard, cut out the contour of the tree (if it's a Christmas tree toy) or draw a contour on thick paper (if it's an appliqué that you hang on the wall). Make the loops from the tapes and paste them with tiers on the base.

Christmas tree toys can be pasted with ribbons on both sides, and you can with one (in this case, it is desirable to paste paper or cloth in the tone used by the ribbons to the back). AND do not forget to attach a loop or a hook, so that the toy can be hung on the Christmas tree.

Another version of this craft - stylized Christmas tree of ribbons. For its production, spread the cone-base with gluePVA and wrap it with colorful ribbons, and decorate the top with a toy or bow. The more ribbons of different colors and widths you use, the more the handcraft will look like a New Year tree, and not the ribbon-wrapped cone (however, too much should not be overdrawn).

The variation of the Christmas tree from ribbons can also be considered a fir tree. Its manufacture begins with a trunk. It is made of thick wire, which you need to wrap it with a thin satin ribbon. Using gypsum, fix the "trunk" in a pot of suitable size.

Now you can make the "branches" of the tree. Cut the tulle into strips, each of which should be a little narrower and shorter than the previous one. Collect a strip of tulle thread on one of the long sides and pull to get a "skirt". It is necessary to make the necessary number of such "skirts" and string them on the "trunk", from the largest to the smallest. A ready fir-tree can be decorated with beads, ribbons, etc. And do not forget about the top!

As you can see, make a Christmas tree with your own hands from the tapes is not at all difficult. There are several ways to make such an amusing work of a Christmas tree, which will not require you to spend a lot of time and effort.
