An unusual Christmas tree from organza will decorate your house or such a Christmas gift will suit you as a gift to family and friends.
New Year is a time of miracles and fulfillmentwishes. But is there a New Year without a Christmas tree? You can make a beautiful and wonderful Christmas tree with your own hands from a thin transparent material, for example, from organza. Such an unusual tree is suitable for decorating a festive table or will complement the decor of your home.
The choice of color of the Christmas tree depends on your interior andcolor preferences. My tree is a delicate green, closer to salad. It took two meters of organza in this color. Also prepare: a stapler and staples, hot glue and cardboard. At the first stage, we begin to make a cone-shaped base for the holiday tree. The higher the cone, the larger the tree will be. Therefore, choose the size from your wishes, if you want a small New Year's toy for your desktop, then a twenty-centimeter beauty will be enough. But it is better to decorate the corner of the room with a high craft, which will be all fifty centimeters from the floor to the top. Depending on the size, the amount of organza spent also changes, for my 35-centimeter-high tree, two square meters of organza were spent. The cone is glued from a semicircle, which is outlined with two pencils (they are connected with a thread according to the principle of a compass) or the cone is formed approximately by twisting a large sheet of cardboard, then the base is cut in one plane "by eye". The line of fixation of the cone should be well glued.
At the next stage, we form blanks for the spruce branches. All of them will be made from organza squares of different sizes, but the parameters of the blank are close to a six by six centimeter square.
Now let's get down to the main work, weit is necessary to bend the details in the form of lush branches from each square of organza. first we bend our square diagonally, but at the same time the opposite corners are slightly shifted, they should not overlap one another.
Again, fold the piece in half so that the fold runs along the center and unevenly separates the layers of organza.
To fix the part in the resulting form,we will need staples and a stapler. Using a stapler, place a staple in the upper corner, where all the folds begin. Often, one staple is enough, even if the material is not caught in four layers, then in the future we will glue the elements and all the details will remain intact. We will need several dozen of such branches, and for a large New Year tree, more than a hundred will be used. When all the blanks are turned into lush elements, it is time to form the tree itself. We have a trunk in the form of a cone and spruce paws in the form of fluffy triangles, now we connect these components. You need to glue the fluffy branches from the base of the trunk. To do this, heat up a hot glue gun and squeeze out a drop of adhesive onto the upper corner of the part, that is, where the staple is. Do not wait until the glue dries, but immediately press the part to the trunk in its lower part. Try to press the part carefully, remember that the glue is hot, and the organza fabric is very thin, so it is easy to burn yourself. The bottom layer of the parts should only slightly touch the base of the rounded trunk, if the organza is below the plane of the cut of the Christmas tree, that is, the base of the cone, then the craft will be unstable and will later fall to one side or even fall.
The next layer of beautiful fluffy branches should beglued over the gaps of the first row of pieces, that is, in a checkerboard pattern. The second row should cover the gaps between the corners of the lower pieces. All the branches of the spruce should be glued with a drop of glue.
Layer by layer, form a herringbone, getting closereach round to the top of the New Year's craft. Since the cone narrows towards the top, the number of elements will decrease slightly with each row. But still try to cover the gap in the bottom row with each new element.
As you approach the top, the angle of gluing the organza pieces does not change; you need to strive to create a pointed top.
We glue the last elements so as to hide the top of the cone.
Now let's start making Christmas tree decorations,For this we will need decorative wire with tinsel. From such red wire we bend a star, which will decorate the top of our New Year tree.
From the remaining blanks of different colors we willto form Christmas tree decorations in the form of bows. To do this, cut the wire into 6-centimeter pieces and roll them into a teardrop shape, the ends should stick out slightly.
Now bend the middle of the droplet to the place where the wire crosses to create a charming bow.
Create a variety of these Christmas decorations to spread across the entire surface of your tree.
At the last stage we start distributionChristmas tree decorations for crafts. Try to randomly distribute the bows at approximately equal distances from each other to get decorations over the entire surface of the organza.
Here is a wonderful Christmas tree ready, which can delight you every New Year!
