DIY creative Christmas tree
If you want something original, or you just don't have enough space for a large Christmas tree at home, you can try to make such a simple design.
It is worth noting that such a tree is suitable for any room. It can be done both at home with children and at work.
This Christmas tree can rise by 1.5-2 meters and takes up almost no space in the house. In addition, it is a good background for New Year's photography.
You will need:
Foam base or matte cardboard
Scissors
corrugated paper
masking tape
adhesive tape
PVA glue
Stationery knife
marker, optional

Dressed up the Christmas tree in a festive dress:
In colorful garlands, in bright lights,
And stands, sparkling, a Christmas tree in a magnificent hall,
Sadly remembering the old days.
The Christmas tree dreams of an evening, monthly and starry,
Snowy glade, sad cry of wolves
And pine neighbors, in frosty mantles,
All in diamond sequins, in fluff of snow.
And the neighbors stand in gloomy sadness,
They dream and drop white snow from the branches ...
They dream of a Christmas tree in a lighted hall,
Laughter and stories of joyful children. Konstantin Fofanov
The purpose of the master class: making a gift for the new year waste material without extra costs.
Tasks: learn the technology of making a Christmas tree from improvised materials,

contribute to the environmental education of children, to cultivate the quality of accuracy and composure when performing practical work, industriousness, sociability, accuracy, work culture, respect for nature

The bottle needs to cut off the neck and bottom, i.e. cut out the middle and cut it into pieces.
Then carefully cut each piece with a fringe - make blanks for the branches.
The neck of the bottle will serve as a stand for the barrel. Roll up a sheet of paper and insert it into the neck.
Then we glue the first row of fringe with tape.
Then we attach the remaining rows in the same way. And we stick one part of the fringe into the top.
We decorate our Christmas tree with stars, snowflakes and bows made by a hole punch.
So our green beauty is ready!
Now hang beads or you can optionally garlands!
Thank you for your attention!!!
New Year- wonderful holiday! For his sake, even ordinary plastic bottles ready to turn into a wonderful fluffy Christmas tree, which will become an invariable companion of all New Year holidays, and if desired, even ... It will be able to grow up!
Yes, that's right, our plastic artificial Christmas tree may well grow into a tier or even several if we make these tiers for it patience. And what? It's a good tradition to make a new tier for our beauty before each New Year. At first it will be half a meter, in a couple of years the kids will be able to dance round dances around it, and in a few more years they will have to look for housing with higher ceilings 🙂
This is how our assembled craft looks like:
And here it is, disassembled:
For crafts used:
- Steel rod of the required length (we have a height of about 500mm, a diameter of about 5mm);
- Aluminum single-core wire in insulation (section 2.5mm 2);
- Green PET bottles (we used at least 30 pieces of 1.3 liter bottles);
- Spruce stand;
- Thermal gun;
- Scissors.
Of the bottles, we will use only the middle, cylindrical part.
Cutting the cylinder in a spiral with scissors, cut out a strip about 20 mm wide.
Then, along the entire length of the strip, we bend one edge by about 5 mm, as shown in the photo below.
This shoulder, firstly, will set the direction for the Christmas tree needles (needles), and secondly, it will serve as a limiter when we cut this needles.
We cut such a fringe, about 1 mm wide
We will need a lot of it, not for nothing, because half a bag of bottles has been prepared 🙂
We make the "top" for spruce:
To do this, we wrap a strip of plastic about 80 mm high around the rod and glue it with a thermo-gun into a cylinder with a diameter like that of the rod (you need to glue it directly on the rod - otherwise the workpiece is deformed from high temperature)
Now we twist a small piece of fringe into a cylinder and paste it inside the cylinder (see photo).
Then we take a strip of fringe and wrap it around the tube in a spiral, gluing it well with hot glue along the entire length of the top.
When one strip is over, we take the second one and continue to work (without removing the workpiece from the rod).
The top is ready, we make the first tier of branches - we have the shortest, of 3 pieces. The length of the branches is 60 - 70mm. We bend the frame from the wire, as shown in the photo, we connect it into one piece with a plastic ring.
We wrap the branches with needles, just like the top.
After all the branches are ready, we equip the main trunk with needles.
Here are 2 details we already have!
We make the third part, remote. At first, we made it too high, so we moved it to the bottom of the tree, and made it smaller on top. In total, 4 distances were used for our Christmas tree: Upper - about 50mm; the second is about 60mm; the third, respectively 70mm; lower - 80mm. We make distances using the same technology as the top, only we do not close the hole from above.
This is what the tree looks like at this stage:
Then - we make the second tier of branches. It is wider than the first, already consists of four branches, each of which has 2 side branches. The length of the main branches we got about 90mm.
We wrap the frame, starting with the smallest branches, ending with the main ones, and then with the trunk.
The plastic heats up under the influence of glue and becomes very plastic, so that at the junction of the branches, you can easily set the direction of the needles for each branch.
This is what the central part of the trunk looks like before we mask it with needles:
And like this after:
Then the turn of the third tier. The length of the branches is approximately 100mm (200mm in diameter)
Then - we make the lower tier and the lower distance. The length of the lower branches is approximately 150mm (300mm in diameter)
It remains to make a stand. A husband can make it, and if he cannot, contact any nearest carpentry workshop, where they will make it for you in 20 minutes. But you can go the other way, dream up and create another coaster at your discretion.
Four tiers, as you understand, is far from the limit! You can make them to your heart's content, as long as you have the patience and bottles. Each new tier will be proportionately wider than the previous one, there will be more branches and they will be more fluffy, and the tree will be taller and more elegant!
