For others, the whole house should be lit with cheerful lights, radiating positive notes of the upcoming holiday. Each room should have decorations and decorative elements that will allow you to feel a certain atmosphere.
It’s especially nice when such details are made with your own hands and from natural materials. In early spring you can find many cones that vary in shape and size. They can serve as an excellent material for making a Christmas tree, which will serve as an additional decoration during the New Year holidays.
It is very simple to make, and even a child can cope with this task. If adults help and tell you how to make it durable and beautifully decorated, then joint creativity will pleasantly surprise all household members. Moreover, now at school and in kindergarten they often demand from children craftswhich they can do on their own or with the help of their parents.This option is quite suitable, since the tree is functional, simple and beautiful.
We will need:
•cones;
•glue;
•newspapers;
•decorations;
•dye;
•Styrofoam.
First of all, you need to make a strong cone from newspapers, which is stuffed very tightly. It is necessary to go over the entire surface with paper tape so that the cones do not subsequently come off under the weight. They are quite heavy and can come off over time, which can be a bummer. As soon as the cone is ready, we begin the main action. We fix the cones on it around the entire circumference. You can use a glue gun, or “Dragon” or “Titan” glue.
At the bottom we cut out a cardboard stand in several layers. Then we decorate it to our liking.
Also, one cone can serve as an excellent decoration. If you place it in a stable container, a pot, for example, then decorate it with beads and add decor Paint the “twigs” with white hairspray and get a miniature Christmas tree that will decorate the table on New Year’s Eve.
You can also paint the cone with gold or silver paint and, attaching a bow to the base, hang it on the Christmas tree. Such toys not only decorate, but also delight because they are made from natural materials and with your own hands.
