To work, you need to assemble the following components:
- corrugated paper in rich green and brown shades;
- thin but strong wire;
- scissors;
- pliers;
- a tube of surfactant glue.
Cut a strip of green paper along its entire length, 5-6 cm wide. And divide it into four equal parts.
Cut fringe on all strips. This must be done on one side, 2 cm short of the edge. The width of the thin stripes should be 5 mm.
Then, with your fingers, begin to twist each strip into a thin needle.
This is what the green blank should look like. You need 4 of these.
Take the wire and start forming a branch. The paper is perfectly fixed with PVA glue. The turns on the wire must be glued in a spiral. One strip of corrugated paper covers 9 cm of wire.
It is better to make the branches separately, and then twist them into a single whole.
Now start making cones.
It is also necessary to cut off a strip of brown color. Along the entire length of the roll of paper and a width of 5-6 cm.
Cut it into three equal pieces.
Now you need to form a wavy edge. To do this you need to move from right to left. Fold the right corner of the paper towards you. Then fold it towards you with your right hand again. Then with the thumb of your right hand you bend the edge back, and with your right hand you make a turn towards yourself.
A wavy edge emerges.
This is what the finished brown blanks look like.
Now take a piece of wire and wrap it in a piece of brown paper to make the workpiece more voluminous. Then glue the brown paper in a spiral, not pressing the wavy edge too hard. A long lump comes out.
Form three cones. The protruding edge of the wire must be covered with green paper.
Combine all the green pieces into one lush branch.
Attach the cones on top and twist the ends of the wires tightly.
Glue green crepe paper on top.
A great alternative to live spruce!
