On New Year's Eve, every home has a wonderful Christmas tree. Some have a very small one, others reach the ceiling. But each tree has its own characteristics that give a festive mood during the Christmas holidays.This master class outlines the process of creationNew Year's crafts - a small Christmas tree made of ribbons. Such a craft will decorate a large tree or serve as a festive souvenir on the work desk, and is also suitable as a present. You can give a Christmas tree made of ribbons to a friend, colleague, children and anyone else if you want to share the holiday, joy and good mood. Such a craft can be made together with children, they will surely be captivated by the process of making a New Year's souvenir. The only thing - you should work with a wood burner only under the supervision of adults. To make a New Year's craft you will need:
Let's get to work.The first step is to create blanks for each spruce branch. There are 11 pieces in the festive product, so prepare 11 pieces of each color. The blanks have a simple square shape. The size of the square is determined by the width of the ribbon, i.e. the green ribbon is 5 cm wide, so the square will have sides of 5 cm, and the pink ribbon is smaller and the blanks from it will be 4 cm on each side.
Let's start bending the squares to maketwig. First, take a larger green square and fold it along a diagonal line from the lower left corner to the upper right. After the first fold, the square turns into a large triangle, the next fold line runs along the center of this piece. The second fold turns the piece into a smaller triangle, but the fabric is folded in four layers.
The same should be done with the pink blank.way. First, the square is folded diagonally, and then folded again in the center. As a result, a pink triangle should be formed in four layers, but smaller in size than the green one, since the blanks initially had different parameters. Now you need to put the pink element on top of the green one. Since the parts have different parameters, try to shift the bottom lines. If the triangles shift along the edge, the top of the pink part will not reach the peak of the green part, and in the future it will be clearly visible, which will allow you to create contrasting branches on the spruce. If you shift the upper corners of the parts, the duality of the colors will almost disappear. This indent is very important to make beautiful branches on the New Year's tree.
Now we form a branch by means of the centralbending of both parts. The blanks need to be bent so that there is an acute angle at the top. The pink top must not be allowed to shift from the green peak, otherwise the branch will look unsightly. Both corners must be evenly located along one line and directed in one direction.
The parts are fixed in this position usingwood burner. The branch must be placed on its side, the base of the part must be pressed with a metal ruler and the bottom part of the branch must be cut off with a well-heated wood burner. Since the part is folded in several layers, the wood burner must be pressed on the fabric and the line must be drawn several times, but always in the same place. When the satin melts, all the layers of the part will be fastened together, and you will have a ready-made branch for the New Year tree.
From each pair of blanks create green and pink onestwigs. All the parts should be identical to each other, then you will get a beautiful New Year's souvenir. Let's start assembling the New Year's craft. For this we will need hot glue (it is better to plug the gun into the power supply in advance so that the glue stick melts well). We connect a couple of branches in place, that is, apply a drop of glue to the side of one part and immediately press it to the other element.
Now we make the top of the Christmas tree.It is formed by one branch fixed opposite a pair of branches. To do this, apply glue to the bottom of the already glued blanks and attach a new part opposite. Press all the elements tightly so that they are well fixed. Do not worry about the unaesthetic place of connection of the three parts, later it will be covered with a decorative element.
Now we begin to fluff up the new Christmas tree.To do this, you need to increase the number of branches with each new row. If at the first stage the tree was formed from two branches, now you will need to glue three elements. They are also connected by the side parts and fixed with hot glue. It is very important that their sharp parts converge at one point, and it does not turn out that one base of the part looks out over the neighboring elements. When the glue dries and the parts are securely fixed, you need to glue them between two branches and form the lower part of the tree. In this action, glue is applied to the glued part of three parts, and not between a pair of branches. When you fix the branches in the right place, clamp a pair of elements to reduce the area of fixation of the satin parts.
Now we expand the number of spruce paws with the help ofpaired parts. Therefore, glue four spruce branches in pairs. They are fixed on the sides, but so that their bases remain in the same plane. That is, it should not turn out that the branches jump one above the other.
We glue paired branches in the next row.These parts are fixed in the gap between the branches of the previous level. After you glue them, immediately move the branches of the upper tier, then the gap will close and the place of adhesion will be less noticeable. We attach another branch in the center to form a beautiful lower row in the form of an indistinct semicircle. This part is attached to the side of the middle branch of the upper tier.
We are moving on to the final stage.Now you need to decorate the tree and at the same time hide the places of fixation, where traces of glue are visible. To do this, glue bows or rhinestones, or other elements, to the places where the top is connected and to the local area where the first tier transitions to the second. If desired, you can glue small rhinestones on the sides of the festive tree, which will imitate New Year's balls. The craft made of ribbons for the New Year is ready, happy holiday to all! Such a tree can also decorate the New Year's table if you hang it on branches standing in a vase on the table. This New Year's gift will surely please children and colleagues, because it is cute and made with your own hands, because it is known that hand-made things give happiness and harmony.
