To add shine to such a Christmas tree, it’s worth taking some rain. It will simultaneously replace Christmas tree decorations and fill the gaps between the paper “crown”.
Materials:
- A4 paper – 4 sheets;
- paper clips;
- PVA glue;
- rain – 1 m;
- wire – 30 cm.
Operating procedure
1. Cut a sheet of paper lengthwise.
2. We fold each strip like an accordion. One fold – 1.5 cm.
3. Fold the resulting strip in half.
4. Glue the two outer edges and secure them with a paper clip (until dry).
5. For the circle we will need two such blanks of the same size.
6. Glue them together and fasten them with paper clips.
7. As a result, the paper accordion will form a circle.
8. In order for our Christmas tree to have a shape that sharpens towards the top, the next circle needs to be made of a smaller diameter. To do this, cut the accordion strip by 1.5 cm.We make the circle like the previous one. And we cut each subsequent piece by another 15 cm. For this Christmas tree you will need 5 round parts.
9. Bend the wire tip at an angle of 90 degrees. This will prevent the parts from slipping off.
10. We string the base circle (the largest) onto the wire until it rests on the bend.
11. The next layer should consist of rain. We lay it out at the edge of the paper part. We cut it off, leaving an additional 2 cm. We fasten the ends of the rain together. If the rain is on a wire base, just twist the ends.
12. We string the next paper circle onto the wire. And we repeat everything.
13. We make the top layer from rain. We wrap it around the wire. We bite off the excess with pliers.
