Making a Unique DIY Christmas Tree Decoration - Master Class
The master class of this article is related to the creationinteresting type of Christmas tree in the quilling technique. Such a Christmas tree can be used to decorate your own gift, as well as to decorate or improve the external decor of objects in the room, to add atmosphere to the existing holiday traditions. Also, you can stretch your fingers and learn new forms of quilling! But, this Christmas tree is made according to a new scheme and therefore, it claims to be an interesting and thoughtful craft. Decorating a new quilling Christmas tree As in any other technique, we will have to get acquainted with a number of materials that will help us work. In addition, below will be presented a diagram, inside it will be told how to implement this or that element of the quilling technique. The master reserves the right to change the color shades of the paper and decorate his Christmas tree in accordance with the concept and idea of the general application or composition:
- Let's prepare special strips for working with quilling (different colors) in sizes of 5 and 3 millimeters, in length of 27 and 42 centimeters
- You will also need stationery - scissors, PVA glue for work
- You will need a quilling tool - a toothpick or an awl, you will also need an orange stick
- Lace Lamograph for work
These elements should be enough to create a quality quilling work. Now, let's start creating our idea: Forming a roll and a dropTo begin with, we should consider the history of creationmodule parts for the future Christmas tree, with the help of which we will then form a complete picture of the Christmas tree composition. It is worth noting that any work with quilling begins with the formation of a roll. For this we will need a specialized tool, or a substitute. We took an orange stick, which we cut in the center of one of the edges. You can also use a toothpick. The paper should be wound on a stick, using the width of the paper at 5 millimeters. Next, you need to remove it and get a stable circle - this is our roll. Now, in order for the shape of the roll to bloom symmetrically, it is necessary to form measurements using the tool - a luminograph.We select the required size, and then -we glue the free edges of the part to the side. We need to get the shape we need using the center hold. Next, we need to clamp our fingers on the side of our workpiece to get the "drop" module. "Bird" moduleAlso, you need to form a module“birds”, which will be an unusual experiment for all lovers of quilling. Such a module is formed in several versions of paper. You need to take strips with different color combinations. In our case, blue and green shades are used. They must be glued together, along the edges of the product. Next, you need to wind it on the tool, using the desired direction on each side to form a figure. After, you should make the following motif. Module “Drop in two colors”Two-color drop - another module forour work. To do this, we need to glue strips in a green shade, as well as a blue shade. Next, you need to twist the roll, and then take measurements using the lumograph tool. After that, we glue the product with the free end, and also form the desired figure with our fingers - a drop. The modules - a drop - will come out as branches for the future tree. They need to be connected by gluing to each other. CurlsAlso, for the Christmas tree you will need curl shapes.They also need to be made double. We can do them using the bird principle. But in this case we will have to curl only one side, and for the uncurled edge we simply glue it to the part. Fitting and fastening Next, we try on the parts, and then we also glue them together. Then, we assemble the future Christmas tree. To do this, first we need to glue the parts of the tree that are at the top to each other. After that, the rest of our parts in the order that we have chosen. Now, the Christmas tree is formed. It is only necessary to decorate it.Decorating the details First, you shouldmake balls. To do this, take several strips of colored shades in the size of the width by 3 millimeters. Then, form a roll, and then fix the future module with the free edge. We are guided by the same principle in order to make balls of various colors for the product (except for the ones used, of course). Then, using the edge of the module, fix our ball blanks on the branches of the winter tree. The Christmas tree is ready, decorate your craft with it, or your living room in anticipation of the arrival of guests in the house!
