How to make a Christmas tree from paper

In general, there are many ways to make a Christmas tree out of paper. But the basic principles of the work are several. The simplest herringbone is done in the following way. You need to cut out two pieces of the same stock from thick paper or thin cardboard, and then glue them on both sides with green paper or paint in green.

Then, mark on each workpiece a vertical axis of symmetry and make an incision along this axis: in one workpiece from the top to the middle, in the other - from the bottom to the middle. Insert the blanks into each other - your Christmas tree is ready to paper! The top can be gently glued so that it does not disperse. You can stick a Christmas tree on a toy of colored paper and rain or simply decorate it with felt-tip pens.

Can make a tree of paper based on a cone of cardboard or heavy paper on the same principle as the tree of sweets. In this case, you need to fold and glue the cone of the correct size from a piece of dense colored paper or thin colored cardboard. Perhaps, for greater stability it will have to be cut a little bit below. Now you can make a Christmas tree by gluing on the cone various decorative elements.

What elements could it be? You can simply cut out round paper"Scales" or small elements of any other shape. You can cut the stripes, fold them together and glue the ends together to make a "droplet" (in this case, they need to be fixed to the cone with glued ends). And you can not glue the strips, and twist them on a pencil or with a scissors blade, in this case you need to use two-sided colored paper. You can use long strips of paper, cut with fringe or folded accordion.

Such a Christmas tree can be one-color and variegated, which it is better to do - to solve, of course, to you. Whatever elements you choose, they need to be glued on one principle. They are glued in a circle from the bottom up, each next rad should partially overlap the previous oneso that the gluing places are not visible. On the top of the tree, you can glue a star or bow, and lightly glaze the tree with glue, sprinkle with glitter, and when the glue dries, shake off excess sparkles.

You can make a tree of paper on the basis of cones and a little bit differently. For this you need make several cones of different sizes and put them on one another: from below - the largest, on it - a little lessetc. You can slightly cut the bottom of all the cones, except the lowest, to get a fringe. If the paper for the cones is two-color, the fringe can be twisted.

The fir-tree will look unusual if the cones are of different colors, but you can Make cones of two colors and alternate them through one. In the New Year look like a combination of red andgreen and red and white, you can also collect a Christmas tree from blue and silver cones (silvery can be glued with foil). The tops of all cones, except the last one, should be glued with glue, so that they will hold better.

There is another way to make a Christmas tree out of paper. To do this you will need a pin for checks and receipts. However, such a basis can be done by himselffrom a piece of wood and wire. And you can take a pot, paint it and strengthen the wire in a pot, filling it with plaster or foam. Then we begin to collect our Christmas tree.

Like the tree of cones, it is going from the bottom up, from large parts to smaller ones. What can be the details? You can corruptly cut asterisks or even just circles or squares of paper (as in the central picture in the middle of this article), in this case, they need to be worn with a little mixing. If the paper you took is white, you can paint the finished Christmas tree with green, silver or gold paint from the can.

It looks very beautiful tree, made bysimilar principle, but instead of flat pieces of paper you need to use three-dimensional snowflakes of different sizes. You'll see, you will have a magnificent Christmas tree, a real beauty! By the way, do not forget to put a star on the top of the wire or any other suitable decoration.

As you can see, there are lots of ways to make a Christmas tree out of paper. We suggested only a general principle, and then you can fantasize as you please. Perhaps you will even be able to make a paper herringbone in the technique of quilling or origami!
