This master class – step-by-step instructions with detailed photos on how to make a Christmas tree from feathers
The holiday season has come, it's timeNew Year's bustle, preparation for the most magical fairytale holiday – Happy New Year! Since childhood, we believe in miracles and wait for them every year on this very night. Time passes, and now our children are waiting for fairy tales on this magical night, but we still, just like in childhood, want to believe in a miracle, because if you believe in it, it will definitely happen! I already have a lot of homemade decorative Christmas trees in my practice. Recently, when I came across a bag of feathers in my craft box, a new idea came to me. Today I propose to make a very simple, but at the same time airy and graceful Christmas tree. Even a child can cope with it, and every mother will appreciate how many positive emotions this work will give.To make a Christmas tree we will need:
- Cardboard
- Feathers
- Beads
- Satin ribbon width 0.5 cm
- Glue gun
- Scissors
So, let's begin. To begin, we will cut out a quarter circle with a radius of 20 cm from cardboard.For the base, cut out a circle with notches so that you can glue it to the cone. This way the Christmas tree will be stable and neat.Roll a quarter circle into a cone and seal it hotwith a gun or a stapler to help it stick better. If you are making a Christmas tree from colored feathers, the cone must match the color of the feathers so that the gaps do not show through.Glue the base of the cone. The base for the Christmas tree is ready.Now let's prepare the feathers. Let's arrange them according to size so that the Christmas tree is even and neat.Now you can start working. We glue the feathers from bottom to top, trying to arrange them in a checkerboard pattern so that there are as few gaps as possible.So we continue gluing to the very top, reducing the size of the feathers.Our Christmas tree is ready, now we can decorate it. We decorate the top with a bow and satin ribbon.Decorations depend on your imagination. These can be beads, sequins, rhinestones, snowflakes, coins. We will decorate our Christmas tree with beads and glue them with a hot gun.That's all, the New Year's beauty is ready! Happy New Year everyone!
