3. Glue Christmas tinsel to the bottom of the cone.
4. Now you need to make a crosswise cut in the center of each circle cut out of felt. Do not cut too much to prevent the felt garment from falling off. Make the cut just enough to fit the circle tightly onto the cone.
5. Start gradually putting circles on the cone. If you are using two colors, then put on the circles sequentially, first one color, then the other. Also worth noting. What to put on the next circle is not only on the cone, but also on top of the tips of the cuts of the previous circle.

Creative DIY Christmas tree
If you want something original, or you simply don’t have enough space for a large Christmas tree at home, you can try making such a simple design.
It is worth noting that such a Christmas tree is suitable for any room. It can be done both at home with children and at work.
This tree can rise 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
1. Lay out on flat surface foam or cardboard to make a large rectangle (see picture).
2. Use duct tape to connect all the parts.
*This example used black duct tape for better visibility, but white tape is better.
3. Mark the size of your future Christmas tree using masking tape.
4. Using a utility knife, carefully cut out the shape of the future tree.
5. Prepare corrugated paper, fold it in half and cut the fringe. You should have many sheets of fringed paper to cover the entire tree.
6. Begin carefully gluing the corrugated paper to the foam, starting at the base of the tree. The fringe should hang slightly below the base to cover the foam (or cardboard), and also slightly cover the top of the tree trunk, which we will make later.
7. Work your way up to the top, covering the entire tree with a bright green coat of crepe paper.
8. WITH reverse side Christmas tree, add a hook so that the tree can be hung. Instead of a hook, you can use double tape to cover the perimeter of the tree.

Dressed up the Christmas tree in a festive dress:
In colorful garlands, in bright lights,
And the Christmas tree stands, sparkling, in a lush hall,
Remembering with sadness the old days.
The tree dreams of an evening, monthly and starry,
Snowy meadow, sad cry of wolves
And the neighboring pine trees, in a frosty mantle,
Everything is covered in diamond sparkles and snow fluff.
And the neighbors stand in gloomy sadness,
They dream and drop white snow from the branches...
They dream of a Christmas tree in a lit hall,
Laughter and stories of joyful children. Konstantin Fofanov
Purpose of the master class: making a New Year's gift from waste material at no extra cost.
Tasks: learn the technology of making a Christmas tree from scrap materials,
promote the development of artistic taste, fine motor skills hands, precision in performing actions, observational imagination, eye

We decorate our Christmas tree with stars, snowflakes and bows made with a hole punch.
So our green beauty is ready!
Now let's hang beads or, if desired, garlands!
Thank you for your attention!!!
New Year- a wonderful holiday! For his sake, even ordinary plastic bottles are ready to turn into a wonderful fluffy Christmas tree that will become a constant companion of all New Year holidays, and if desired, even... It can 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 :) It’s composite, collapsible, so to “make the tree grow” you only need a longer rod, a little more materials and patience. And what? It’s not a bad tradition to make a new tier for our beauty before each New Year. At first it will be half a meter high, 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 what our assembled craft looks like:
And here it is - disassembled:
For the craft we used:
- Steel rod of the required length (our height is approximately 500mm, diameter approximately 5mm);
- Aluminum single-core wire in insulation (cross-section 2.5 mm 2);
- Green PET bottles (we used at least 30 1.3 liter bottles);
- Spruce stand;
- Thermo gun;
- Scissors.
We will use only the middle, cylindrical part of the bottles.
Cutting the cylinder in a spiral with scissors, cut out a strip approximately 20mm wide.
Then, along the entire length of the strip, bend one edge by about 5 mm, as shown in the photo below.
This collar, firstly, will set the direction for the Christmas tree needles (needles), and secondly, it will serve as a limiter when we cut these needles.
We cut this fringe, about 1 mm wide
We will need a lot of it, it’s not for nothing that we have prepared half a bag of bottles :)
Making the “top” for the spruce:
To do this, we wrap a strip of plastic about 80mm high around the rod and glue it using a heat gun into a cylinder with a diameter similar to the rod (you need to glue it directly on the rod - otherwise the workpiece will be deformed from the high temperature)
Now we twist a small piece of fringe into a cylinder and glue it inside the cylinder (see photo).
Then we take a strip of fringe and wrap it around the tube in a spiral, carefully gluing it with hot glue along the entire length of the top.
When one strip ends, take the second one and continue working (without removing the workpiece from the rod).
The top is ready, we make the first tier of branches - we have them the shortest, out of 3 pieces. The length of the branches is 60 - 70mm. We bend the frame from the wire, as shown in the photo, and connect it into one with a plastic ring.
We wrap the branches with pine needles, just like the top.
After all the branches are ready, we equip the main trunk with needles.
We already have these 2 parts!
We make the third part, the remote one. At first we made it too tall, 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 - approximately 50mm; the second - about 60mm; the third, respectively 70mm; lower - 80mm. We make the distances using the same technology as the top, only we don’t close the hole at the top.
This is what the Christmas tree looks like at this stage:
Then we make the second tier of branches. It is wider than the first one and already consists of four branches, each of which has 2 side branches. The length of the main branches turned out to be approximately 90mm.
We wrap the frame, starting with the smallest branches, ending with the main ones, and then the trunk.
The plastic heats up under the influence of glue and becomes very plastic, thanks to which 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 disguise it with pine needles:
And here it is - after:
Then - the turn of the third tier. Branch length - 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)
All that remains is to make the stand. Your husband can make it, but if he can’t, go to any nearest carpentry shop, they will make it for you in 20 minutes. But you can go the other way, get creative and create another stand at your own discretion.
Four tiers, as you understand, are far from the limit! You can make as many of them as you like, as long as you have enough patience and bottles. Each new tier will be proportionally wider than the previous one, there will be more branches and they will be fluffier, and the tree will be taller and more elegant!

2. From a landscape sheet you need to twist a tree trunk into a cone. The diameter of the tube will correspond to the diameter of the bottle neck. Place the handset into the cradle.
3. Now cut nine of these plates. Features of these blanks: 3 pcs. make a rectangular shape measuring 8 cm by 7 cm; next 3 pcs. – 8 cm by 5.5 cm; the last 3 plates are 6 cm by 4 cm. It is not necessary to maintain the size in numbers, but the proportions of the workpieces must be observed: large pieces, medium and small.
5. To make the branches lush, you need to twist them slightly: take the knife with the blunt side up and stretch it along the strip, pressing the blade firmly against the ribbons. There is no need to twist all the strips at once, this is difficult and ineffective. Take 4-5 ribbons.
6. Now you need to attach the needles to the paper trunk. To do this, we wrap it in plates, starting from the base. Using tape we secure each tier of needles. In the same way we move to the top.
