5. Gold or silver spray paint.

Sequence of making Christmas tree No. 1.

1. Cut out and glue a cone of the required size from thick cardboard.

2. We make the bottom of our Christmas tree: on cardboard we draw a circle (the diameter of the cone), around it there is another one 1 cm. more. Cut it out, bend the edges to the desired diameter and glue it to the cone.

3. Glue the stand to the bottom of the Christmas tree. For the stand, you can use a cardboard base from adhesive tape, plastic lids from coffee and plastic jars, etc.

4. On the resulting frame, using “Master” glue, glue the seeds, nut shells, and acorn pads tightly together, alternating them with each other.

5. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a starfish.

Christmas tree No. 2. Tools and materials.

1. Cardboard.
2. Pencil, scissors.
3. Glue “Master” (“Titanium”).
1. Natural material: roses made from orange (tangerine) peel of different sizes.
4. Gold or silver spray paint.

Sequence of making Christmas tree No. 2:

1. We make a frame from cardboard as in the manufacture of Christmas tree No. 1 (items 1-3). Paint with spray paint.

2. Make roses from orange and tangerine peels:
a) peel a fresh orange by cutting the peel in a spiral;

b) place the cut peel in such a way as to form a rose;

c) let it dry;

d) paint the finished roses with spray paint.

3.Glue the roses onto the cone in rows close to each other. We start from the bottom tier, with the largest roses. We glue each next row in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the previous one. With each subsequent row, the size of the roses becomes smaller.

4. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a spiral of orange peel.
5. Decorate with beads, gel with sparkles.
For our 35 cm high Christmas tree we used 56 roses different sizes, from the largest to the smallest.

Christmas tree with garland.

1. Cut out and glue a cone of the required size from thick cardboard. We paint it with spray paint.
2. We make roses.
3. On the cone we mark the locations of the roses. In the cone, in the center of the marked roses, we use an awl to make holes into which we insert garland bulbs from inside the cone. The holes in the cone should be small so that the bulbs fit tightly into the cardboard.

4. We begin to insert the light bulbs from the top of the cone. When all the bulbs are inserted, glue the roses so that the bulb is in the center of the rose. If necessary, make an additional hole in the rose (or remove the lower part). If you have light bulbs more quantity roses, they can be additionally placed between the rows of roses.

5. Before gluing the bottom to the Christmas tree, we check the operation of the garland. Only after this we glue the bottom and stand.
6. Decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a spiral of orange peel.
7. Decorate with beads, gel and sparkles.

There has been moss lying around in the remains for a long time, I kept thinking about what to make out of it. But, since it’s on the nose new year holidays, I didn’t have to think long. I decided to do eco-fir tree made of moss.

I really liked this material in my work; it requires a minimum of decor.

The latest hand-made new items are Christmas trees with curved tops, so I decided to make the same one, only from moss. Such unusual Christmas trees can magically complement the New Year's decor of your home and become a wonderful souvenir gift.

To do moss Christmas tree with a curved top You will need:

moss (preferably green, it’s soft),
a small cone made of foam or cardboard,
double sided tape,
a little wire
a small flower pot or any other suitable container,
building plaster (alabaster),
1 kebab skewer,
hot glue gun,
scissors,
decor: ribbons, beads.

Let's get started...

We cut the skewer into 3 equal parts (you can use a fine-toothed knife) and glue them together with hot glue. We dilute the gypsum with water to the consistency of thick sour cream and place it in a prepared container. Place the glued skewers evenly in the center and wait a couple of minutes until the plaster hardens completely. We partially decorate the trunk of the Christmas tree with ribbon.

We will hide the plaster with moss.

Now it's time to work on the cone...

We attach 2 wires to the top; if necessary, you can fix them with hot glue.

Now we need to wrap the entire structure with double-sided tape. If the cone is made of foam plastic, then the bottom is included.

We place our cone on a moss cushion and roll it tightly. If there are small islands left, you can glue them with hot glue. But everything stuck quite well for me, and the isolated, slightly protruding branches can then be pressed down with decor.

We pierce the bottom in the middle with scissors and carefully place it on skewers.

We bend the crown.

Let's decorate it a little, although the Christmas tree itself looks very interesting.

And with the symbol of the coming new year! 🙂

The Christmas tree turns out to be miniature, about 20 cm. It will not take up much space and will look great on your desktop. So original New Year's gift Your loved ones, friends and work colleagues will certainly be delighted. And create one like this DIY souvenir very simple and fast.

I was glad to help!

New Year with snow, elegant green beauty and tangerines - wonderful and fun party, but why not make it truly unusual? A Christmas tree made from eco-friendly materials will decorate your home with a barely noticeable haze of invigorating and spicy aroma, and will also create the right festive mood. Creative workshop "BARABASHKA" is happy to share with you its ideas and secrets in this simple master class on creating New Year's decor with your own hands.

To create New Year's decor with your own hands we will need:

foam cone
wooden planter
wire
alabaster + water
glue gun + 3-5 glue sticks
white spray paint
sisal (we had 2 colors: white and brown, you can have one)
jute twine
walnuts
acorns
cinnamon
star anise
peppercorns
decorative elements (roses, beads, twigs, ribbons)
improvised means - knife, scissors, rags

Making a Christmas tree from eco-materials

Manufacturing Christmas tree made from natural materials, its principles are very close to technology, but it has its own, author’s nuances.

Making the base for the Christmas tree.

Take a foam cone and wire.

We make a hole in the cone, carefully insert the wire into it and twist the tip for stability.

Turn on the glue gun. While it is heating up, we take out the sisal (ours is white, matching the color of the cone) and straighten it so that it can be wrapped around the foam.

When the gun is ready to use, carefully begin gluing the sisal from the tip of the cone to the bottom. It should look like you see in the photo.

On next stage it is necessary to secure the tree in the pot.

We take a small amount of alabaster (aka building plaster) and dilute it with water. We quickly pour it into our prepared pot, insert our “Christmas tree” into it and level it. Everything must be done carefully and not delayed, because... alabaster hardens quite quickly.

As a result, we get a nice base for our eco-Christmas tree.

Now we are preparing materials for the Christmas tree. I suggest starting with sisal balls.

Take brown sisal, tear off a small amount and roll it into a ball in your palms. The size should be approximately the size of a walnut. This is done quickly, because... it takes the shape we need well.

In the end we get such a nice pile.

Then we take the walnuts and split them into even halves using a knife.

We clean the cores (they can be eaten later) because for the Christmas tree we only need the shell.

Unfortunately, the caps fall off the base when you get them home, so we glued them back to their rightful place to restore their original appearance.

Usually cinnamon sticks are sold in 10 cm sizes, because... This is a lot for a Christmas tree, we cut them in half with scissors.

So, we got these natural preparations for the Christmas tree:

walnut shells
acorns
sisal balls
small cinnamon sticks
star anise

We begin to glue everything onto the prepared base.

By using glue gun We alternately glue everything we prepared earlier.

So let's start from the top...

And we slowly move down.

We try to place everything as close as possible.

We close the voids that we have formed with allspice.

Now let's take white paint in a can, we go out to Fresh air and paint some nuts white.

This is how we give our Christmas tree a snow-covered look.

To avoid strong contrasts, we wipe some of the nuts a little with a cotton swab moistened with nail polish remover.

If you wish, you can decorate it with your favorite decorative elements that you have lying around in your bins. We dressed her up in a garland of beads and refreshed her with white roses. A New Year's ribbon wrapped in jute twine was glued to the trunk.

The Christmas tree made from eco-friendly materials is ready.

The eco-theme is very pleasant and interesting, so you don’t have to stop at the Christmas tree; it’s better to create a whole New Year’s composition in the interior or on the holiday table!

Happy holidays everyone!

Some interesting information about the cineraria plant

Well, of course, you can’t help but love cineraria. Its lacy silvery-white pubescent leaves are unrivaled. Against their background, any flowers look brighter and more interesting.

And this is cineraria, which we raised with the children on our site in kindergarten.

Cineraria was discovered by travelers back in the 16th century. European gardeners immediately liked the original plant and began to be widely used in botanical gardens in Italy, France, and England.
The flower was brought to Russia only under Peter I, who, as you know, was a progressive politician and loved all sorts of innovations. Landscape design was no exception. And although the ship fan knew little about botany, he still liked unusual flower, which was transported to Russia and adapted to our harsh conditions.

The local peoples of Madagascar had this belief about the appearance of cineraria. A long time ago there lived a beautiful princess on Earth. And as beautiful as she was, she was also arrogant. She adored the worship of the courtiers, expensive gifts, and arranged wild fun. For this she was nicknamed bloody. And one day a kind, brave young man fell in love with the princess. As much as the princess was arrogant, he was so pure in heart and strong in spirit. But his love for the beauty broke him. He began to look for meetings with her and was ready for any madness. But the girl didn’t notice him, or rather... she pretended not to notice, because she was not used to showing her feelings, she expected him to roll out like a carpet in front of her endlessly. But, deciding that he could not achieve the love of a heartbreaker, the young man went to war, where he laid down his head. The princess learned about what had happened and ran to the high slope of the mountain. So strong was her despair that the girl turned into a scattering of beautiful blood-colored flowers. After some time, another plant appeared nearby - a stern silvery hue, as if dressed in knightly armor. This is how, according to the myths of the aborigines of Madagascar, the bloody and silver cineraria appeared.
Beautiful, but a little sad.
