Everyone loves to decorate a Christmas tree on New Year's Eve, but there are situations where an ordinary Christmas tree with lights cannot be installed indoors. In this case, you can resort to imagination and ingenuity and build a desktop Christmas tree with decorations. In this article, let's analyze how you can make a Christmas tree with your own hands from thread.

The things you need to make a Christmas tree

It is possible to make a Christmas tree from thread. In this case, it is better to choose a traditionally green color. To make a Christmas attribute we will need:

• Thread
• PVA glue
• Thick paper or cardboard
• Cling film
• Scissors
• Pencil

How to make a Christmas tree of paper and cardboard

To begin, take heavy paper or cardboard, draw a circle on it. Then cut out this circle and cut out a circle radius on one side.

Roll a cone from the circle and glue the edges of the radius. The base for the Christmas tree is ready. Now you need to wrap the cardboard base in clingfilm. Do it tightly and accurately, so that no pieces of cellophane stick out.

Now you need to take the threads and dip them in PVA glue. Those masters, who already have a hand, take a glue bottle, put threads inside, pour the glue, then pass the end of the thread with a needle through a cone-shaped cap. Thus, watching the master class, you will see that the thread can be pulled together with the glue, which saves a lot of time.

Now you need to start wrapping the base with thread soaked in glue. Start wrapping from the wide side of the base, gradually going upwards. Thread should be crossed with each other, thereby forming a Christmas tree with a pattern like a spider web.

When you decide that it is enough wrapping, put your Christmas tree to dry. In a day our Christmas tree is ready. You need to take out the cardboard or paper cone, remove carefully the food film from our Christmas tree.

You can decorate the Christmas tree with small beads, unnecessary chains, "raindrops" of shiny thread. You can also make Christmas tree balls out of thread. If you want the Christmas tree to sparkle and twinkle, you can attach lights with small lamps inside.

How to make a Christmas tree with thread from improvised materials

For those who do not trust cardboard and film, we can offer a more reliable option. For this we will need:

• A thick plastic folder
• Scotch tape
• Scissors
• PVA glue
• Thread
• Ornaments for the Christmas tree
• Packaging for glue

Step by step master class

From a folder you need to cut a circle, make a cone out of it, as in the first method, fasten with tape. Then, following the instructions, wrap the base with thread. To make the Christmas tree look more interesting and beautiful, you can use different shades of green thread and wind them alternately.

After our Christmas tree has dried, you can release it from the cone base and start decorating. The decorations can also be cut out small snowflakes from paper. They can be glued to the tree with the same glue. From pearl beads you can make small Christmas balls and also attach them to the Christmas beauty.

The main thing is not to overload the product, otherwise it may be unstable and fall. Try to make sure that all the decorations correspond to the size and weight of the tree.

Such a Christmas tree can be put in the office on the table to give the working interior a New Year's mood or at home in the kitchen, so that the bulky decorations do not interfere with cooking.

Lush yarn Christmas tree

If such Christmas trees seem too flimsy and fragile to you, you can make a Christmas tree from a denser material. In addition, such a Christmas tree will not be translucent, will be more like a real Christmas tree.

For a more "believable version we will need:

• Yarn "grass" (or chunky yarn)
• PVA glue
• Watman or cardboard
• White gouache
• Scissors
• Cling film

Master class on how to make

From the cotton or cardboard, cut out a circle. Moreover, the larger the circle to draw and cut out, the larger the cone will turn out. Consequently, the Christmas tree will turn out larger.

The cone is well secured with glue or duct tape and wrapped in food film. Then you need, dipping the "shaggy" yarn in glue, wrap it on the cone. You should know that these threads should not be wound chaotically, otherwise the Christmas tree will lose its shape. The yarn should be wound strictly horizontally from the bottom up. Thus, we will get a beautiful, neat and puffy Christmas tree.

Leave the wound yarn to dry for a day or two, then take out the cone. To depict snow powder on the Christmas tree, you can paint its threads, sticking out like needles, with white gouache. This should be done carefully, so that the "needles" do not stick together. You get a wonderful Christmas tree in the snow.

Now you can start decorating the Christmas tree. For decorations you can also use Christmas "rain", beads of different colors, snowflakes, cut out of paper. At the bottom of the Christmas tree, you can put some absorbent cotton or synthetic cotton, which perfectly imitate snow drifts.

Christmas tree from threads - 3 way

If such Christmas trees seem too boring for you, you can make another Christmas tree. For this you need:

• Yarn of different densities.
• The base of a large spool of thread
• Heavy cardboard
• PVA glue
• Hot glue
• Glue gun
• Scissors
• Small flower pot
• Balloons

Instructions for making

1. Make a cone, as in the previous cases, and glue to its wide side a circle with a diameter equal to the diameter of its largest base. Thus we get a cone, closed on all sides. Let's put it aside.
2. Now you need to make balls of thread of equal size. To do this, thread dipping in PVA glue wrap the slightly inflated balloons. You get a small balls of thread.
3. We need to leave them to dry. After drying, all the finished balls of thread should be glued to the cone to form a Christmas tree. You can glue the Christmas tree cones between the balls.
4. The resulting Christmas tree should be glued with thermal adhesive to the base from the spool of thread. This will be the trunk of the tree. The finished tree can be planted in a flower pot, decorated with snowflakes, "raindrops" and put on a shelf.

As you can see, it is not difficult to make a Christmas tree from improvised means, the main thing is that you have a New Year's mood!
