FURRY GUEST

Send

New Year is always associated with tangerines, snowflakes, garlands, tinsel and gifts. Each list supplements in accordance with their expectations and memories from childhood, but it will certainly continue with a mention of a fluffy and beautiful Christmas tree. It is such a forest guest that will turn out if you follow all the recommendations of this master class.

Cooking material

In order for the fluffy Christmas tree to decorate the New Year's table or become a gift for children and adults, you will need such blanks:

foam cone;
acrylic (or other) green paint;
flexible wires with a pile.

Procrastination is sold in needlework stores; you can order them on Ali Express. This material is well suited for children's creativity, and a large number of shades will allow you to create Christmas trees of different colors (from the "blue spruce" to the usual forest beauty from central Russia).
In the course of work, you will also need:

glue gun and 1 hot glue stick;
beads or beads;
sequins;
ribbons
decorative cones, balls, toys.

If the presence of hot-melt adhesive is necessary, then the decorative elements can be any. You can simply cover the branches with sparkles, as if they are covered with hoarfrost.

We collect the Christmas tree

DIY do it yourself.
1. We paint a foam cone with green paint. Let the workpiece dry. Painting is mandatory, because if the branches fall loose, then between them there will be no noticeable basis.

2. On one of the wires we twist the loop. This is the crown of the Christmas tree.

3. Around the loop we make several tight turns, gradually increasing the radius of the circle. The wire holds its shape well, and additional fixation is not needed here. It is necessary to try on the resulting workpiece - it should sit tightly on the top of the tree, as if a hat.

4. Now you need to warm up the gun and put a little glue on top of the cone. Several glue points should be placed just below. Quickly put on the "cap" of the wire on the cone and press for a few seconds.
Hot-melt glue sets almost immediately, and now our Christmas tree has acquired a fluffy crown.
Now we need to continue to wrap the wire around the base, building it up by twisting.

5. In some places it is necessary to apply a thin strip of hot-melt adhesive. This will additionally fix the turns on the foam cone.
6. The work is almost complete, it remains to bite the wire with wire cutters, leaving a small tail. It should be stuck in the base of the cone. The last turn is necessarily planted on the glue.

Dressing

Our souvenir - Christmas tree made of wire is ready to become even more beautiful. To do this, you can string beads from beads and glass beads, make a garland of sequins or balls of half beads. If there is a decorative star of a suitable size, it can be hoisted on the top of the tree. Some craftswomen skillfully sculpt from salt dough. Then the miracle tree can be decorated with balls, cones, clusters of berries.
The present is ready.
