How to celebrate a new year without a Christmas tree? Even small it is necessary to make, for example, from cones. Material for such a Christmas tree can be typed in the nearest park, cones are better to choose different sizes. You can make a tree both from pine and spruce cones, and you can combine both materials using one kind of cones for the base, and another for decorating.
How to make your own hands a Christmas tree of cones?
We'll figure out how to make a fir-tree out of pine cones with your own hands, by analogy, you can make a New Year's tree from pine cones. In addition to cones, polystyrene, wire (wooden skewers), paint (gouache or aerosol) and ornaments (rain, tinsel) are required. We lay out the cones on the newspaper and clear it of debris.
- We wind the tails of cones with wire so that the wire "leg" is at least 3 cm long. You can make fasteners
from wooden skewers, to do this in the base of the cone, carefully make a hole and insert the skewer there. If the holes turned out to be too wide, then for the reliability we fix the skewers with glue. - We cover them with paint (if we use aerosol, then it is better to do it on the street or on the balcony). You can paint all the bumps, or only those that will be used as the top and decoration of your Christmas tree.
- We prepare the trunk for a Christmas tree - cut out the cone from the foam and paint it in brown (green color). It is necessary that the gaps between the cones are not too prominent.
- We put the prepared cones in polystyrene, do not forget about the top.
- Now we decorate the Christmas tree - a rain, a tinsel, sweets in shiny candy wrappers. You can stick decorative bows, pieces of foil to lumps. If you colored the cones in gold (silver) color, then you can do without this step.
- Put around the Christmas tree wool or white silk, which will symbolize the snow. A Christmas tree of cones is ready.
