With the onset of winter, the children and I plunge into creativity and create wonderful crafts in the New Year theme in different techniques and from different material. The symbol of the year (in 2015 it is), Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden, the snowman, and of course the Christmas tree. After all, what New Year's celebration can do without the forest beauty. adorned in colorful balloons, with tinsel and a garland - it is the main decoration in the house.

Little helpers can easily be entrusted with gluing parts or cutting them out.
Our last craft was a voluminous Christmas tree made of paper using the 3 d origami technique, in which absolutely nothing needs to be glued and cut out, but it is enough to be careful to fold the paper in the correct order. We captured every step in the creation of the Christmas tree on a photo so that everyone can make such an incomparable beauty.

To create a 3D origami Christmas tree we need:

  • double-sided colored origami paper in green and brown

Do-it-yourself origami Christmas tree made of paper, 3D - master class with photo:

To make blanks for the Christmas tree, we need five green squares with sides of 20x20 cm, 18x18 cm, 16x16 cm, 14x14 cm, 12x12 cm and one brown square with sides of 20x20 cm.
The photo below shows all the fold lines.

Fold the large square in half.


Unfold and fold diagonally.


Fold each corner inward.


We get such a rhombus.

Next, we divide the rhombus into four equal triangles and visually draw the middle in one of the triangles.


We bend it along this line, wrap the corner inward and get this design.


Following the same principle, we bend all the remaining sides, as a result of which we should get such a figure.


We turn over and bend each corner remaining outside into the figure.


In the final version, it should look like this.


We do the subsequent green figures in the same way.
For the trunk, take brown paper and in the same way as green, bending diagonally, hide the corners inward.


Next, bend the two right corners into the middle.


And two left back.


We divide the tongue in half and bend the left half in the middle to the right, and hide the resulting triangle in the hole of the second triangle.


The end result is this figure.


We do the same with all other parties.


Christmas tree blanks are ready and look like this.


Now let's start assembling a three-dimensional Christmas tree. To do this, we string the lower tier, which is the largest, on the trunk and make sure that all the grooves match.


Next, we string the remaining tiers in decreasing order.

We decorate our three-dimensional origami Christmas tree with a garland and an asterisk and get just such an original forest beauty using the 3D origami technique.

 The Christmas tree is one of the main attributes of such a large-scale holiday as New Year. Nobody forgets about it, buying live or artificial Christmas trees to their home and decorating it with different outfits, souvenirs, garlands. We will make a Christmas tree out of paper, which can be placed somewhere in the apartment (for example, on the table), or it will not even be a shame to give such a craft to relatives or friends. Next, we will deal with several ways to create Christmas trees from paper.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (1 way)

You will need green paper, a ruler, compasses, glue, scissors and a pencil (or a tube for juices, cocktails).

  1. Using a compass, draw a few circles on paper. Each next circle is 1-2 cm smaller than the previous one. Choose the number and size of the circles yourself, depending on what size you want to see the Christmas tree in front of you.
  2. We fold each circle in half once, a second time and a third time (that is, you need to fold each circle three times in half). To make the fold lines clear, we draw along the edges with scissors.
  3. We straighten the circles. We cut a hole in the center of each that matches the diameter of a pencil or tube (depending on what we will use). It is also worth saying that the circles are the tiers of our future Christmas tree.
  4. We glue the pencil or tube with green or brown paper.
  5. Now we begin to collect the Christmas tree. All tiers are strung on a pencil.
  6. We decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a beautiful bead or star. Decorate the Christmas tree, if desired, you can sparkle

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (2 way)

You will need green paper, scissors, pencil, glue, compasses, ruler, needle, wire.
On green paper, draw a circle with a compass, the size of the lower tier of the future Christmas tree. Next, draw another circle inside the first circle, stepping back from the first one a little more than half the radius.

  1. Using a ruler, divide the circle into 12 sectors.
  2. Along the lines of cases, an incision to the inner (second) circle.
  3. We turn each sector into a cone, which we fix with glue.
  4. Similarly, we create the rest of the blanks, gradually reducing their size.
  5. We make a hole in the center of each blank with a needle.
  6. We turn the bottom of the wire into a spiral.
  7. We collect all the tiers of our Christmas tree on a wire. We fix on top a cone made of paper.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands using the quilling technique (3 way)

You will need: green paper strips 5 mm wide and four strips of 1 cm each, red and yellow strips 3-5 mm wide, toothpicks, glue (instant and PVA).

  1. We use four green strips having a length of 30, 20, 15 and 10 cm. Using a toothpick, we twist them. We remove the part from the toothpick and let it bloom a little. We fix the end of the strip with PVA glue. We give all the spirals the shape of a drop by holding and slightly pulling one of the ends of the spiral up.
  2. Tightly wrap wide green stripes on a toothpick and glue the tip to them, preventing it from blooming. This will be our tree trunk.
  3. For the top of the Christmas tree, we make a drop from a green strip with a length of 30 cm.
  4. Now we begin to collect the Christmas tree, fixing its elements with instant glue. We glue the parts of the trunk and give the glue time to dry.
  5. We insert a toothpick inside the trunk and glue our droplets-twigs. We start gluing with the smallest ones, which we glue to the top of the Christmas tree.
  6. We make toys from yellow and pink stripes by twisting the paper without using a toothpick. You can fasten the ends until the paper is unwound, or you can make the toys a little looser and give them the shape of small droplets. Glue balls to the branches you like.
  7. We glue the drop at the very top (do not forget about it), and decoration on it.
  8. You can make, if desired, a stand. To do this, you will need to make from white paper strips nine curls. Tightly glue the curls together. Now we fix the Christmas tree on a snowy white stand with glue.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands (4 way)

You will need: green cardboard, glue, scissors, adhesive tape, colored paints, pencils, felt-tip pens. Stickers, glitter, etc. can be used as additional decorations.

    2. Draw a half of the Christmas tree on one of the halves of the cardboard opposite the fold (see picture).

    1. Fold the sheets together and cut with scissors along the drawn line. As a result, you will get two Christmas trees of a similar size.
    2. Mark the middle of each tree discreetly using a ruler.
    3. Make an incision on one tree, starting from the top to the middle, and on the other from the bottom (base) to the middle.

    1. Insert the Christmas trees into the cuts to end up with one voluminous Christmas tree.
    2. To give the Christmas tree more stability, use adhesive tape - use it to glue the lower and upper halves.

  1. To decorate the Christmas tree, use pencils, felt-tip pens, sparkles and other materials. You can use a hole punch to make small multi-colored circles, which then stick on the Christmas tree. An asterisk can be glued to the top of the head with tape.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (5 way)

You will need: colored cardboard, glue, scissors, a hole punch, a small stick with a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the holes that are obtained from the hole punch, decorations to taste.


A rectangular cardboard is taken, folded several times as shown in the picture above, and then pierced in the center with a hole punch. Then this cardboard is cut at an angle so that the craft in the end does not look like a Christmas tree (see picture). We drag our stick into the hole, and if it does not hold firmly, then we can fix it with glue. We decorate the Christmas tree. Jewelry can be attached with glue. Such a Christmas tree can be placed somewhere (if you make a basis for it), or you can hang it somewhere.

Also cut small squares of cardboard - their size should be such that they do not peek out from under the paper ones. These cardboard inserts are needed to give the tree volume without using a large number paper.

Insert a skewer into the base. Fold three squares big size and make a hole in the center. Put them on a skewer. Now put on the cardboard square. Again, three large paper squares, and after them a cardboard insert. Continue alternating cardboard and paper squares, gradually reducing their size. Move the corners of the paper squares slightly clockwise each time.

Put a large beautiful bead or other decoration on top and secure with glue.

To make a miniature Christmas tree in the same way, you will need a bottle cap, an English needle and thin wrapping paper (for example, tissue paper, tissue paper or corrugated paper).

How to make a Christmas tree with your own hands from cardboard tubes

If you have accumulated a sufficient amount of cardboard tubes from under the rolls toilet paper or paper towels, make a Christmas tree that will serve as storage for small gifts or candies.

You will need 32 rolls of the same diameter and length. Paint 28 of them outside and inside green, and the remaining four brown and let dry. Now you need to assemble a pyramid of green tubes: glue the sides of seven pieces. Glue a row of six tubes on top in a checkerboard pattern. Continue to collect the Christmas tree, reducing each next row by one tube. You should get a triangle consisting of seven rows. Now glue four brown tubes together and attach to the bottom of the very first row of seven green tubes. It remains to decorate the top of the tree with a Christmas star and you can lay out gifts!

By the same principle, you can make a great advent calendar for kids. In this case, the Christmas tree is assembled from 24 tubes. One end of each tube is closed with a paper circle with a number written on it from 1 to 24.

How to make a 3D paper tree

You will need: cardboard, wire or cord, beads, glue.

Draw a template: it can be just a triangle or the outline of a Christmas tree. Cut out 6-8 identical parts and bend each strictly in half along the center line.

Take two items. Spread glue on half of the first piece and glue it to half of the second piece. Wait for it to dry. Spread half of the third part with glue and glue it to the free half of the second part. Continue until only two halves are left unglued. Make a loop at the end of the cord or wire for hanging, thread the bead and put the cord in the middle of the Christmas tree. Glue the remaining two halves, tie a knot at the other end of the cord and cut off the excess.

Creative Christmas tree made from paper strips or circles

You will need: thick green paper for the base, double-sided multi-colored paper for twigs, glue.

First, glue a stable cone out of thick green paper. cut double sided colored paper strips approximately 2.5 x 7.5 cm. Wrap one end of each strip around a pen or pencil to make a beautiful curl. Now start pasting the cone with strips of paper (we glue the straight end of the strip, the curl should remain free). You need to move from the bottom edge of the cone to the top. You can glue the strips in circles, or in a spiral.

The top of the Christmas tree needs to be decorated with a star - this will hide the last row of glue.

Try experimenting: take not green, but multi-colored paper, or cut out a lot of circles or bells instead of straight stripes - you'll see, it will be very beautiful!

Another no less creative Christmas tree with your own hands from paper strips

You will need: cardboard cone for the base, multi-colored paper, masking tape, glue.

Cut strips from colored paper. Their length depends on the required splendor of the Christmas tree, but do not forget that it should decrease with each tier. Cut a piece of masking tape long enough to wrap around the base of the cone. Fold the strips of paper in a loop and stick them on tape. When the entire strip of tape is filled with such loops, stick it at the base of the cone. Continue pasting the base, moving towards the top. Put a small cone on the very top to hide the last strip of tape, or decorate it with ribbons and decorations.

If you take a foam Christmas tree cone, the loops can be attached to it without adhesive tape and glue - using safety pins.

Unusual Christmas trees with their own hands from paper eights

You will need: green paper (not too thin to keep its shape), ribbon, cord or hook for hanging, chenille wire about 30 cm long, beads, through the hole of which the wire will easily pass.

Cut the paper into strips 4 cm wide and 7.5 cm, 10 cm, 12.5 cm, 15 cm, 17.5 cm, 20 cm, 22.5 cm long.

Punch three small holes on each strip: 1 cm from each edge and in the center.

Make a small loop at one end of the wire and bend it to a right angle. This is necessary so that the paper strips do not slip off it. Take a strip 22.5 cm long and put it on the wire in this way: through the hole at one end, through the center hole, through the hole at the other end. We got a paper eight. Slide it down the wire to the very end. Then put one or two beads on the wire, then put on a strip 20 cm long, beads again, etc. Continue until you have completed the assembly with the shortest strip.

Now put on the last bead, leave a small piece of wire for the loop and cut off the excess. Make a loop and hide the end of the wire in the top bead.

It remains to thread a string for hanging into the loop and you can choose a place for the Christmas tree!

If you didn’t find any beads, it doesn’t matter, the Christmas tree will look beautiful even without them, and the fluffy pile on the chenille wire will fix the figure eights quite reliably.

DIY Christmas trees from paper cones

Such Christmas trees can be made in different sizes: from large outdoor ones to small ones that will decorate a table or window sill - it all depends on the height of the base and the size of the paper cones.

You will need: cardboard tube from paper towels (30 cm long), colored paper for cones (you can use wrapping paper), ribbon for a bow, scotch tape.

Start by making cones. They should be of different sizes - the largest will be located at the base of the Christmas tree. The closer to the top, the smaller the size of the cones should be.

For a cardboard tube 30 cm long, you will need to cut 10 squares of these sizes: 16 cm, 14 cm, 12 cm, 10 cm. Make cones from these squares and fix them along the seam with tape.

Now, using the same tape, start taping the cardboard tube with cones from the bottom up. The distance between the layers is approximately 3-5 cm. The cones should be staggered (i.e. the cone of the top layer should be above the space between the two cones of the bottom layer).

Bend the ends of the cones of the uppermost layer inside the tube and fasten there. Use a bow (or other decoration) to decorate the top of the Christmas tree.

Alternatively, you can mount the cones in the form of a Christmas tree on the wall or doors.

How to make a paper quilling Christmas tree

Christmas trees made in this technique look unusually openwork and festive. The simplest option is a Christmas tree made of elements called a fisheye.

To make this element, you need to roll a strip of paper into a spiral, unravel it slightly, squeeze it from two opposite ends and glue it so that it does not unravel.

Make 6 of these elements of four different sizes and assemble a Christmas tree pyramid from them. Place the largest items at the bottom. With each row, their size should decrease.

One more not difficult option quilling Christmas trees, suitable for children's creativity.

But this option is already much more complicated than the previous ones, but such a Christmas tree looks much more spectacular.

Original paper Christmas trees from quilling stripes

This is a rather painstaking and long work, but the Christmas tree turns out to be fluffy - just like a real one!

You will need: quilling strips (if you don't have them, just cut thick colored paper), skewer, glue.

Cut one of the long sides of the quilling strips with scissors 2/3 of the width to make a fringe. Roll each strip into a tight spiral, fix with glue so that it does not unravel, and fluff the fringe. Draw the outline of the Christmas tree on thick paper or cardboard and fill it with the resulting balls.

Such a Christmas tree can also be made voluminous - you just need to make a lot of balls and paste them over a cardboard cone.
