The Christmas tree is one of the most common crafts in the winter season. School teachers and kindergarten teachers make Christmas trees with children from a variety of materials. Also, many children take part in winter craft exhibitions, so we have to constantly look for new ideas. If previously the Christmas tree was made mainly from paper, today it can be made from almost any material. We invite you to try make a Christmas tree from tulle with your own hands.
Materials:
- a sheet of cardboard;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- a tulle square with a side of 1.5 m;
- compass;
- green fabric;
- sewing machine;
- ruler;
- pencil;
- decorative ribbons.
DIY tulle Christmas tree, master class
Now you can start making needles for the Christmas tree. To do this, cut the tulle into strips. Make one 80 m wide, two 100 mm wide and two 120 mm wide. Now you need to make the assemblies of these ribbons using a sewing machine or by hand. Sew them together to make a ruffle about 2 meters long. The line should go exactly in the middle.
Give the Christmas tree volume. To do this, cut off the protruding edges and start making small cuts on the tulle. After this, trim the needles again and decorate your Christmas tree. Try to come up with original decorations for the Christmas tree or make it pink or white instead of green. If you sew white glass beads or cotton balls onto the tulle, you will get a beautiful snow-covered Christmas tree from the winter forest.
A tulle Christmas tree is a great way to decorate your interior beautifully and inexpensively. To make such a craft, you will need very little time, and the Christmas tree will look much more luxurious than one made from paper. Try making a Christmas tree on a cone with your children. For example, let them cut everything out, and you sew the ruffle on a sewing machine. Joint creativity is an important process in education; in addition, you can spend your leisure time with your child in a fun and useful way.
Herringbone.Hello, dear residents of the Country of Masters! I bring to your attention a small master class on creating a bright original Christmas tree from yarn with a fluffy skirt. This “New Year's beauty” will undoubtedly decorate any interior.
Necessary materials:
. sheet of cardboard;
. red organza;
. white yarn;
. a piece of wire;
. 2 colored pencils;
. a little sisal;
. decorative elements for decorating a Christmas tree (beads, snowflakes, etc.);
. Double-sided tape;
. glue gun;
. scissors;
. stapler
You also need to be patient and have the desire to create your own unique miracle.
We roll a cone from a sheet of cardboard and securely fix it. Then, we insert a wire into the top of the head and stuff our cone with crumpled newspaper and glue. Now we take the resulting blank and cover it with double-sided tape. We wrap the yarn tightly around the tape (so that there are no gaps).
For the skirt, we cut 8*8 cm squares from organza. Fold the square in half, and then roll it into a bag and secure it with a stapler (the number of such bags depends on the desired fullness of the skirt). From these little bags we form a fluffy skirt for our Christmas tree. I glued three rows of bags with hot glue.
Cover the colored pencil with double-sided tape and wrap it with yarn. Then we insert the resulting legs with one end into the Christmas tree and the other into felt boots. Cover the bottom of the tree with sisal. And now, the most interesting part - the decor. It all depends on your imagination! I wish you creative success. Thank you for your attention.
Master class on making a Christmas tree from tulle
We will need:1) tulle (mesh) for the Christmas tree: 125 cm, for a star 10 cm wide2) wire approximately 1m3) a jar or pot for the base4) plasticine or plaster5) acrylic paint (or color) white6) beads for decoration7) gift ribbon approximately 3m long8) needle and thread9) PVA glue
It is better to buy hard tulle for the Christmas tree (80 rubles per unit of Oktyabrsky), and softer for the star. Tulle length 180cm.We cut the tulle into ribbons in width in the following order:17cm - 2 pcs15cm - 2 pcs13cm - 2 pcs11cm - 1 piece9cm - 1 piece (cut in half)7cm - 1 piece (cut in half)5cm - 1 piece (cut in half)3cm - 1 piece (cut into 3 strips of 40cm each, cut the remaining 60cm in half and leave the strip width 2cm, i.e. cut another 1cm in width)We cut into strips only after painting! By the way, you can do without painting)))
We paint the edges of the strips. It is better to apply with the tape folded in half, as in the photo. We dry it on a piece of newspaper, unfolded. I used water-based paint, which was left over from painting the ceiling))) It dries quickly.Now, from the opposite edge, we sew each tape with large stitches, and at the end we tighten it, leaving a small hole in the middle for the barrel (wire). It’s better not to do them end to end, otherwise our ribbons will sag later.
Let's start with the barrel))) I bought a 6mm aluminum wire on the market, 4 are possible - it was simply not available. Costs 14 rubles per meter. The husband pulled out the wire. At one end you need to roll it into rings perpendicular to the main length. And thus lower it into our pot or jar. It is better to take a wider base for stability. Since I had an “emergency”, I only had this jar on hand.
We fix the base with plasticine, plaster, etc. For beauty, I quickly sewed a cover for the jar.
We string our collected ribbons. We decided to fix the lowest one higher from the base. Only a couple of matches were at hand. The cross was attached to the base using tape. And then we string the remaining rings. At the end, in the same way, we assemble a star made of red tulle, 10 cm wide, approximately 80 cm long, and fix it on the top. But we put it on like a flower and secure it with threads. We cut off the excess length of the wire with pliers.
All that remains is to decorate the Christmas tree)))
The first snow has fallen, which means it’s time to think about the most magical, most beautiful and beloved holiday by many - the New Year. My children and I always prepare for the New Year in advance; We are thinking about how to decorate our home, how to make it more comfortable and festive, what to give to family and friends, what to celebrate the New Year in, what to cook for the New Year’s table, etc.
Today I will tell you how to make a Christmas tree from tulle.
What we need:
- A3 cardboard;
- newspapers or old magazines;
- glue gun, glue moment;
- blue and white tulle;
- lace (3 cm) or braid;
- silver ribbons;
- compass or plate;
- scissors;
- beads, buttons, stars
We take A3 cardboard and roll it into a long cone - this will be the basis for our Christmas tree. We should have such a big bag for seeds. We glue the joints with a glue gun; Personally, I glue it with “moment” glue and cut off the excess.
While the cone is drying, take old magazines or newspapers and crumple them. To make our Christmas tree stable, we stuff the cone tightly with crumpled up magazines.
Now we will need to make the bottom of our cone. To do this, we outline the cone and use a compass to make a large circle 2-3 cm larger than the outlined circle. Personally, I don’t have a compass, I took an ordinary plate, placed it on the circled circle and circled the plate on top of the circle. Cut out a large circle, make noodles up to a small circle and glue the bottom with the noodles facing up. This is how we got a stable base for our Christmas tree.
While the base dries, we take tulle and cut out squares of about 5 * 5 cm from it (or rectangles; depending on your choice). We fold them into 2 triangles, then again into 2 triangles, take the blue tulle by the corner and glue it to the base of the tree with a glue gun. Triangles intersect. This is done for splendor so that the Christmas tree does not turn out bald. We glue the blanks quite low, since we need to close the edges. Now we retreat 1 cm and also glue triangles of white tulle.
We have a row of blue tulle, a row of white, a row of blue tulle, lace or braid, and again a row of blue tulle, a row of white, a row of blue, braid or lace, and so on until the end.
We make the entire top from lace or tulle and decorate it with an asterisk, bead, and bow; who has any imagination?
Now we are making decorations for our Christmas tree. To do this, take silver ribbons and make bows out of them. Glue them to the tree, attach pearl beads and stars with a glue gun.
Our Christmas tree is ready! Good luck to everyone and creative success!

You will need: scissors, thread and needles.
We draw a Christmas tree on felt, cut it out and try it on clothes. You can lightly baste it, and then remove it and use it for another costume next year.

How to decorate Czech shoes for the New Year with your own hands?
We decorate shoes or any other shoes with tinsel, fluff or leftover fabric. Sew mini shoe covers without soles with elastic bands and add decorations, like on a dress, skirt or hat.
The second option for decorating shoes is to attach stencils cut from leather or fabric to the front. 
A bow in red and green tones is an ideal combination, which we play up both in the hairstyle by weaving ribbons or a hoop and on the dress itself, choosing red Christmas tree decorations for decoration.
A chic option is to glue half beads in a circle and add an organza flower. Glue the half beads using glue second and a pencil.
Cape for a forest beauty
Do you know what will be cool in the hall? Then the cape will save the day and decorate the suit. Make sure that it fits harmoniously into the upper part of the suit and does not hide all the beauty of the dress.
A chiffon or organza cape will turn your snowflake into a Christmas tree. Pay attention to the photo. Here you see light capes in green tones and crowns in the shape of Christmas trees. This option is ideal when your child plays 2 roles at once.
Tights, socks, knee socks
White tights or knee socks or socks look very festive, but if you don’t have them, try using those that are available. Supplement them with tinsel or figure out how to divert attention from them, for example, slightly lengthen the dress.
The ruffles in a herringbone dress are a great focal point to make the dress as long as you like.
If you want to add more sparkle, add rhinestones to your tights or knee socks.
