How to make a Christmas tree out of tinsel

From this affordable and at the same time very decorative material make different types of jewelry. The most popular object of the New Year theme is the Christmas tree. You can make it as a contour flat for hanging on a wall, a door or a window, or a three-dimensional one, which will decorate a festive or office table. The size is also chosen different - from a few centimeters to a meter. It all depends on the amount of material and the task.

The fir-tree with its own hands made of tinsel is made both monophonic and multicolored. To do this, garlands of appropriate shades are used. Looks good when the tips of the "needles" of tinsel are made of silver in the main green or blue tone. This creates frost or snow on the tree.

Decoration for vertical surfaces

Here is considered the most common and simple way to create a New Year decor. The fir-tree on the wall of tinsel can be made by the following methods:

1. Mount garlands in the shape of an isosceles triangle. At the bottom in the form of a rectangle you perform a barrel, and on the vertex you establish an asterisk.
2. First you do everything as in the first case, but then fill the triangle with horizontal stripes of tinsel, determining the tiers of the tree.
3. You create the outline the same, but fill it with tinsel on the diagonal guides going from the top to the bottom.
4. Make a contour of a Christmas tree from several triangles. It is desirable that the bottom was large, and the top small. The rest will be of intermediate size.
5. Do or make an ornament on the previous variant, but at each tier carry out a bottom an arch or a wave.

The choice of method depends on the area of the surface to be decorated and the amount of tinsel that you expect to spend on creating a Christmas tree. Attach the material with tape, pins, staples, thermo-gun. The choice is determined by what surface you decorate, and whether it will be easy to take off the decoration after the holiday.

Tinsel and small decor

The remaining options for creating a Christmas tree are voluminous, that is, they are designed to be hung or put. From what you choose the size of a souvenir, you get a toy, a garland element or a full-fledged New Year decoration of the room.

The fir-tree with its own hands made of tinsel is usually made on the basis of a paper frame. It is made independently, twisting the sheet in the form of a cone and gluing the joint. If there is no time or desire to make such a basis, you can take the finished one, using, for example, a paper colored holiday cap. Another option - a frameless openwork semi-transparent souvenir, which will be discussed below.

So, you made or bought a cone. Then you need to do the following:

1. It is better to paint it under the color of tinsel, so that it does not have to be very tightly placed on the base.
2. After drying tinges, begin to tingle the tinsel from the bottom to the top. Distribute it evenly, gradually gluing to the substrate.
3. When you have finished this stage of the process, decorate the product with beads, bows, balls and any other elements.

To get the original effect, you can combine tinsel of different degree of "fluffiness" or different colors. It is possible to distribute two "threads" of tinsel on the cone of the base or to twist them into one common thread before starting work.

Christmas tree of sweets and tinsel

A good decoration for a festive interior, a souvenir and an excellent gift will be obtained if you make a Christmas tree sweet, that is, place between tinsel candy. There can be two options:

1. Sweets are simply hung on the tree as toys.
2. Candy wrappers are chosen the same in color and make up an additional or even basic decor of the Christmas tree.

The second way is the most original and interesting in terms of design. A fir-tree of sweets and tinsel is made using the same technology described in the previous section. The difference is as follows:

1. After the preparation of the frame, glue it first to the base of the candy. They can be placed in rings, spirally, in the direction of the beams, diverging from the top downward, patterned or chaotic. Do not be afraid to experiment. Try combining not only different forms of candy and the color of the wraps, but also the dimensions.
2. When the sweets took their places on the surface of the cone, it's time to glue the tinsel. Distribute it evenly in the free gaps. If the pre-cone was painted in tinsel color, it can be used in a minimal amount to give the souvenir tree a more decorative and natural look.

In general, it is possible to make such a product and completely from the same candy. Tinsel allows not only to decorate the object, but also to use a smaller number of sweets.

The combination of cones and tinsel

The use of natural materials, and especially cones, for making a New Year tree is quite popular. Do this souvenir you need for the same technology as in the case of sweets. Cones can be placed close together, creating a solid surface, and tinsel only decorate from above, distributing it in a spiral. Another option is the reverse, when cones are used as a decor on a cone of tinsel. You can choose any of the ways. Such a Christmas tree decorate will perfectly decorate the festive table or be an original gift.

2. After drying, the substrate must be carefully removed.
3. The resulting object is slightly decorated with a thin tinsel.
