On New Year's Eve, it's worth thinking about making holiday decorations. You can make interesting crafts with your own hands. For example, a Christmas tree can be easily made using available materials - thread and cardboard. Next, let's look at the manufacturing method in more detail.
Christmas tree made of cardboard and thread
The craft is based on a paper frame, which can be made in different ways. Next, it is wrapped with threads, which are held together with glue. The winding structure depends on the desired density of the tree. It can be airy or massive. Using threads of different densities and qualities, you can achieve completely different results. This Christmas tree can be made in one evening, without taking into account drying. Jewelry made with your own hands will help give you a designer look.
Instead of cardboard, you can use leftovers from a packaging box. The material should be dense and monochromatic.
How to make a Christmas tree from cardboard and thread with your own hands
To make a Christmas tree, prepare all the necessary materials and equipment in advance and study the instructions. Making a New Year's miracle is much easier than it might seem at first glance.
Materials and tools
To prepare the main symbol of the New Year you will need:
- cardboard;
- scotch;
- threads;
- glue brush;
- scissors;
- a circle-shaped template or compass;
- PVA glue;
- decorative decorations.
A Christmas tree made of fleecy and woolen threads will look elegant. Maximum similarity is possible if you use green material. The white thread will evoke associations with snow and snowdrifts.
Instructions
There are several options for making a cone, as well as winding threads on it. Everyone will be able to choose the most convenient and acceptable option for themselves. Follow the following sequence of actions:
- The first step is to prepare the base of the tree. To do this, cut out a circle from paper, the radius of which is equal to the side of the cone. Next, you need to make a cut from the hem to the middle and roll the part. The edges of the part are glued together and the excess is cut off. Often, ready-made blanks made of plastic or foam rubber, as well as bottles of a suitable shape, are used as a cone.
- Tape is glued to the entire area of the figure, so that the finished work does not stick and can be easily removed from the layout. Foil or cling film are also suitable for this purpose. Only the paper base is pasted over. The threads will not stick to glass or foam rubber and will come off on their own.
- Then the threads are moistened in the adhesive composition and wrapped around the workpiece. To do this, it is better to prepare a special bowl in advance.
The most convenient way is to pierce a plastic bottle of glue with a needle and then pull the thread through it.
- Glue can be applied directly to the cone and then begin working with threads. In this case, you need to work as quickly as possible to prevent the glue from drying ahead of schedule.
- Winding can be done in a chaotic manner and at an angle. This method will help to make a durable structure that will appear weightless in appearance. If the glue is too thick, it is better to dilute it with water. There should not be large gaps.
- To ensure that the thread is fixed and does not slide along the structure, small cuts can be made in the body.
- The resulting product should dry thoroughly. To do this, you need to place it in a warm, well-ventilated room with good air ventilation.
- Next, the product is carefully removed from the cardboard base.
The resulting cone can be used to make several Christmas trees.
How to decorate a craft
The decoration of the New Year's beauty completely depends on the preferences of the author. You can use threads of different colors and densities, as well as all kinds of decorative elements. Decorations can be either purchased or homemade. Beads, ribbons, rhinestones, tiny toys, and tinsel will come in handy. Sequins can be tied to the Christmas tree. It is better to place one large bead on the top or cut out a star from cardboard. Using cotton wool, they make an imitation of snow.
It is convenient to attach decorative elements using glue or a glue gun.
If thick threads were used and the product turned out to have gaps, then an electric garland can be inserted inside. It is important that the bulbs are safe and do not come into contact with the threads. Glowing lanterns will help create an indescribable atmosphere of a fairy tale. The Christmas tree will play the role of a night lamp.
In the modern world, the issue of environmental friendliness and nature conservation comes to the fore. Therefore, crafts made from scrap materials are especially relevant. A decorative Christmas tree made of threads is easy to make and can become an original gift for friends and family.In addition, the craft will fit perfectly into the New Year's interior and become its highlight.
