Master-class of making by own hands the original New Year tree - Christmas trees from a lace.
New Year... Time of miracles and magic.In the previous master class we learned how to make a spiral Christmas tree from wire, but to do it you need to know how to knit. In this MK we will make an equally beautiful spiral Christmas tree from ribbons and lace. It will be more airy and a little vintage. But first things first.For the Christmas tree we will need:
- paper cone,
- wire,
- lace braid,
- a green satin ribbon with a width of 0.5 cm,
- red felt,
- satin ribbon of cowberry color, 0.5 cm wide,
- beads for pearls,
- monofilament,
- needle,
- white thread,
- glue moment-crystal,
First, let's form our Christmas tree on a paper cone using wire.
Let's take it off the paper cone. The tree should stand well on the table.
Using round-nose pliers, form loops at the upper and lower ends of the spiral wire.
Now let's take some lace and green satin ribbon.Lace can be white or milky, silver, golden or light green. It is better to take lace slightly wider than the ribbon - about 2-3 mm on each side.
We thread the monofilament into the needle.It is advisable not to tear the thread off the spool – we will need a good long accordion of ribbon and lace. And in the center with not too small stitches we begin to collect the lace and ribbon on the thread.
The length of the ribbons and lace in the assembly should be equallength of the wire. A beautiful accordion is obtained if you take, for example, 1 meter of wire and 1.5-2 meters of lace with a ribbon. This is how it should turn out. We fix both ends of the thread with knots.
Now you need to glue the gathered lace to the tree. To do this, take some glue and apply it to the very beginning of the braid (thereby securing the thread once again). And attach it to the top of the tree.
It is better to apply glue in small areas and glue the lace to the wire gradually.
We cover the entire Christmas tree in this way.
Cut out two identical stars from red felt.
And we glue them on both sides to the upper wire loop.
While the tree is drying, let's prepare the decorations. Cut the lingonberry-colored ribbon into small strips. Treat the ends with a lighter or a candle.
Now we will form a bow from these pieces and secure it in the center with a couple of stitches.
Sew a bead into the center of the bow. Then attach the bow to the tree.
