CHRISTMAS TREE MADE OF SATIN RIBBONS

Send

Most mothers were faced with the need to do some kind of craft for their child. And it’s absolutely unimportant that he goes to kindergarten or school, his craft should be the best, and you must help him in this. With such an offer, my son also came to me. At the New Year's exhibition in kindergarten, he needed to make a Christmas tree. After a little consultation, we decided that we would not resort to standard crafts from the mountain of tinsel. Ultimately, the following list of required materials was determined.

Satin ribbons of various colors;
sheets of paper (you can use absolutely any waste paper);
scissors;
glue (I chose the moment crystal);
any thread with a needle;
beads;
some tinsel.

First of all, we need to build the base of the tree, the material for which will serve as paper. For clarity, I took the usual sheets of paper for an A4 printer, but you can use any other. The sheet needs to be folded so that a cone is obtained. Coat the edges with glue. In order to get the desired length (in my case, 30 centimeters), we simply paste additional sheets on the bottom of the cone and increase to the desired parameters.

To make the base of the Christmas tree even, after building it, we postpone the required length in several places from the top to the bottom, and carefully cut it off according to the marks.

Second phase. As spruce branches, I decided to choose satin ribbons of various colors and sizes. For the needles, I took thin ribbons of different shades of green (width 0.6 mm.), And for toys orange and purple (width 25 mm.). We cut them into pieces of the desired length, I took 16-17 cm.

Now we begin to fasten. For splendor, it was decided to mix all the thin ribbons into bundles. We bend the segments in half with the front side outward, and fasten their ends.

In the photo, I simply glued them, but then I came to the conclusion that it is better to do this with the help of an ordinary thread with a needle, securing a couple of stitches. We perform the same procedure with wide segments of ribbons. Now, in order of priority, we stick the blanks onto our cone.

Do not be afraid of protruding threads, they will be closed with the next layer of ribbons, so they will not be noticeable. So, by alternating, we glue the entire base of our future Christmas tree.

Thus, stepping back a bit of space, we glue most of the tree.

I just pasted the very top of the Christmas tree with an orange ribbon. So our forest beauty began to seem even more fluffy.
Stage Three. In order to decorate the Christmas tree, I glued beads onto wide sections of ribbons imitating toys.

Also, it was decided to stick a certain design of beads on the upper part of the craft, it turned out something like a garland. Well, at the end of the work, I gave it to the child to tear to pieces. He was eager to add some tinsel. Not twisting it in my hands for a short time, I got an interesting tip, which became an ornament instead of a star.

Adding a couple of pieces of “rain” to the unfilled cones with ribbons, we got our beauty.

P.S. The next day, the child came from the kindergarten in a good mood and said that our crafts were given to the city exhibition from the kindergarten. Well, a trifle, but nice ...
