1. We begin to make a Christmas tree from a frame; a plastic bottle, in this case, a milk bottle, will serve as it. The bottle should be tightly inserted into the pot and bolted to it.
2. Place a strip of double tape on the bottle on top of the flower pot.
3. Wrap a strip of double tape with “grass” yarn, and tightly wrap the padding polyester on top of the bottle.
4. We make a cone out of paper and put it on the bottle over the padding polyester. There should be enough synthetic padding so that the bottle fits tightly. The blank for the cone can be printed from the Internet so that it turns out perfectly smooth. We fill the padding polyester from the bottom so that its edges do not protrude.
5. We prepare the face of the future Christmas tree.To do this, take a flesh-colored stocking, place a padding polyester ball in it, forming a head, as well as a small ball - the future nose. To give expressiveness to the facial features of the Christmas tree, we tighten the nose, cheeks and mouth of the doll with flesh-colored threads. The tighter the tightening, the older the Christmas tree will look. We put the stocking with the head on the bottle. We tuck the bottom edge of the stocking under the padding polyester, over the edge of the cone.
6. Next we move on to making Christmas tree needles. To do this, we cut out squares measuring 10*10 cm from tulle or padding polyester. We fold the squares diagonally to form triangles, bend the edges of the triangles so that we get rhombuses and cleave them with a stapler. This tulle design is popularly called poundik. We sew the “pounds” to the Christmas tree, starting from the very bottom. The closer the “needles” are to each other, the more “pins” you will need and the more magnificent your Christmas tree will be in the end.
7. From the remains of the nylon stocking we sew handles (we form tubes and stuff them with padding polyester). We use flesh-colored threads to make finger constrictions. We wrap the finished arms with “grass” and sew them to the shoulder line. Let's move on to decorating the Christmas tree. We equip it with eyes; they can be glued with Moment glue or the same double tape. Draw the lips with a bright marker. We do light makeup, armed with real blush, draw eyebrows and eyelashes with a marker. We make hair from “grass” yarn, it is this yarn that gives the desired shaggyness. We braid the hair and tie it with a ribbon. We sew large beads to each needle; they can be either plain or multi-colored.
The Christmas tree is ready.
Note: In order for the Christmas tree to stand securely, you can first add pebbles to the bottom of the pot.If desired, you can knit a beret or a hat for the forest beauty, as well as a scarf; such elements can give her a special charm and sophistication.
