Step-by-step instruction

We prepare the most important thing - the basis for ourtree. Take the cardboard, cut out the triangle (shape under the spruce). The larger the triangle, the more our work will turn out. We cut out 20 * 10 cm. Then we prepare the needles. Cut out corrugated paper light green and dark green long strips 4 cm wide (the longer, so our needles will be more voluminous). We began to cut out strips of needles from 13 cm, gradually reducing, since to the top the carved figure narrows.

Take our strips of corrugated paper and bend each strip along half-and-half. Fingers of each strip give volume. Stretch the bent edges of the paper, thereby imparting openwork and volume.

We begin to glue our needles to the base of the carvedfigures. We glue the stripes from the bottom, at the same time we need to alternate the colors of the strips to make our hand-made artwork lively and overlap each other for a larger volume. Do not stretch the paper, otherwise all our volume will be lost, which we attached.

After all of our needles were on the treego to the decoration. We paste beads in a chaotic order. At the top of our beautiful glue star. Let's dry the glue well, so that our beads and the asterisk remain in place. At this time, take the tape or rope and make a loop. The size of the loop depends on where you are going to hang this decor thing. After our beads and star dried, glue the loop back. You can also make a cardboard stand if you are not going to hang our hand-made article. To do this, cut out a thick cardboard strip (10 cm), folds in half and stuck behind in the middle down, giving stability.
