The main Christmas symbol around the world is the New Year tree. Today there are a lot of interpretations of the holiday tree. More and more people are abandoning natural trees, replacing them with artificial analogues.

A Christmas tree made from pompoms is made quite quickly; the longest stage is the process of creating pompoms. For a voluminous and fluffy product you will need a lot of fluffy balls. How to make original two-color pom-poms:

- As a basis for winding threads, you need to make a cardboard rectangle. It will be replaced by a notepad or mobile phone if thick paper is not available.
- We wind the yarn around the base, then tie it tightly in the center.
- We cut the threads on the left and right sides of the central dressing. The pompom needs to be fluffed thoroughly.
- If the height of the tree is no more than twenty-five centimeters, you will need to make thirty balls.
DIY pompom Christmas tree - a simple way to make it
The Christmas tree can have different sizes, it all depends on the wishes of the master. Consider making a medium-sized tree, 24 centimeters high. To work you will need:

- Square block of wood – 2 pieces;
- Twenty-eight green pom-poms. The diameter of the ball is about three centimeters;
- One red pompom. Diameter - three centimeters.
Let's look at the step-by-step instructions for making a Christmas tree from pompoms with your own hands:
- We make twenty-nine pom-poms of the desired color ourselves. Mix green threads with white ones to give the tree a snowy look. The red pom pom will be on the top.
- We combine three balls together, glue them together into a ring shape, and glue them to the fourth red pompom. We get the top of the New Year's tree.
- We continue to collect rings. We make the following parts from five and seven pom-poms.
- We glue a ring of nine balls together and insert three more parts in the center. The result is a rounded element of twelve particles. Leave it for five minutes to dry.
- We grease a circle of seven balls with glue from the bottom side and place it on a large circle of twelve elements.
- By analogy, we fix the details of five balls on a circle of seven pom-poms.
- Add a four-ball Christmas tree topper and leave the tree to dry. The glue must completely fix all the elements.
- We take wooden parts, glue them together, and tie a beautiful ribbon.
- Glue the spruce tree to the wooden pedestal. We decorate it with beads. You can attach the beads with a few dots of glue to keep them from falling off.
- At the very top we fix a red ball.
