Christmas tree made of corrugated paper

Today I was lucky enough to accidentally attend one of the lessons at the art studio where my friend works as a teacher. Fortunately, I have the habit of almost always carrying a camera with me, which gives me the opportunity to capture all the most interesting things at any time. Just today it came in handy for me. Very soon the chimes will announce the arrival of the New Year, and children, together with their teachers, are preparing hand-made surprises for their parents. They are firmly convinced that such a Christmas tree made of corrugated paper, made by them themselves, will be a wonderful New Year's gift for moms and dads.

And really, any craftsproducts made by children's hands are undoubtedly much more valuable than goods bought in a store, even of the best quality. In addition, a homemade Christmas tree can be made of any size and used as a New Year's souvenir, given to friends or relatives, or used to decorate a New Year's interior. And our tree will be high enough (about 40 cm), and you can safely hide a bottle of champagne (no matter for children or adults) under it, placing it on the festive table.
To make such a Christmas tree you will need the following materials: a sheet of cardboard, corrugated paper, a glue gun and scissors.

Now about how to make a Christmas tree from corrugated paper:
We cut out a quarter of a circle from cardboard (the radius of which is 40 cm), roll it into a cone and glue the edges together using a gun.


From a roll of green corrugated paper, cut a strip two and a half times longer than the height of the cone, approximately 18 cm wide.

We bend the paper in half along the entire length and, after applying a thin layer of glue, stepping back 1 cm from the edge, connect it.


Along the fold line we slightly stretch the corrugated paper (fortunately it gives in easily), thereby forming small gathers.

We coat the previously left centimeter with glue along the entire length of the strip and glue it to the cone (starting from the bottom) in a spiral (that is, at an angle) to the very top.


Now all that remains is to make beautiful flowers from corrugated paper of other colors and decorate the Christmas tree with them.

Or hang beads collected in the form of a garland on it. The decorated Christmas tree is ready. Happy creativity!
