Let it go New Year has already passed, it still reigns among us Christmas mood! The children and I decided to do Christmas tree from natural material- pine cones. work with natural materials always very interesting for children! They receive new emotions, turn on their already wild children’s imagination, and learn about the world through tactile sensations. I get great joy from being a kind of guide in interesting world entitled " Natural material".

For Christmas tree making we needed the cones themselves! We have a whole basket of them!


After that, I asked the children what our bumps look like? The answers varied, but most children decided that Christmas trees! And it was decided to paint them in green color!

Now our cones have become just like Christmas trees! And of course, what would a Christmas tree be without New Year's decorations!Each child made his own decorations taste: someone made a garland of plasticine balls, someone rolled a cone in semolina, and someone decided that the cone was very good anyway!

From the resulting " Christmas trees"we composed a composition New Year's forest. IN New Year's The forest also found a place for the symbol of the coming year - the Cockerel.


We ended our interesting activity with finger play." Squirrel".

The children were very pleased with their work! However, so do I.

There has been moss lying around in the remains for a long time, I kept thinking about what to make out of it. But, since the New Year holidays are just around the corner, I didn’t have to think long. I decided to do eco-Christmas tree made of moss.

I really liked this material in my work; it requires a minimum of decor.

The latest hand-made new items are Christmas trees with curved tops, so I decided to make the same one, only from moss. Such unusual Christmas trees can magically complement the New Year's decor of your home and become a wonderful souvenir gift.

To do moss Christmas tree with a curved top You will need:

  • moss (preferably green, it’s soft),
  • a small cone made of foam or cardboard,
  • double sided tape,
  • a little wire
  • a small flower pot or any other suitable container,
  • building plaster (alabaster),
  • 1 kebab skewer,
  • hot glue gun,
  • scissors,
  • decor: ribbons, beads.

Let's get started...

We cut the skewer into 3 equal parts (you can use a fine-toothed knife) and glue them together with hot glue. We dilute the gypsum with water to the consistency of thick sour cream and place it in a prepared container. Place the glued skewers evenly in the center and wait a couple of minutes until the plaster hardens completely. We partially decorate the trunk of the Christmas tree with ribbon.

We will hide the plaster with moss.

Now it's time to work on the cone...

We attach 2 wires to the top; if necessary, you can fix them with hot glue.

Now we need to wrap the entire structure with double-sided tape. If the cone is made of foam plastic, then the bottom is included.

We place our cone on a moss cushion and roll it tightly. If there are small islands left, you can glue them with hot glue. But everything stuck quite well for me, and the isolated, slightly protruding branches can then be pressed down with decor.

We pierce the bottom in the middle with scissors and carefully place it on skewers.

We bend the crown.

Let's decorate it a little, although the Christmas tree itself looks very interesting.


And with the symbol of the coming new year! 🙂

The Christmas tree turns out to be miniature, about 20 cm. It will not take up much space and will look great on your desktop. So original New Year's gift Your loved ones, friends and work colleagues will certainly be delighted. And create one like this DIY souvenir very simple and fast.

Making a Christmas tree from eco-materials

The principles of making a Christmas tree from natural materials are very close to technology, but it has its own, author’s nuances.

Making the base for the Christmas tree.

Take a foam cone and wire.

We make a hole in the cone, carefully insert the wire into it and twist the tip for stability.

Turn on the glue gun. While it is heating up, we take out the sisal (ours is white, matching the color of the cone) and straighten it so that it can be wrapped around the foam.

When the gun is ready to use, carefully begin gluing the sisal from the tip of the cone to the bottom. It should look like you see in the photo.

The next step is to secure the tree in the pot.

Let's take it a small amount of alabaster (aka building plaster) and diluted with water. We quickly pour it into our prepared pot, insert our “Christmas tree” into it and level it. Everything must be done carefully and not delayed, because... alabaster hardens quite quickly.

As a result, we get a nice base for our eco-Christmas tree.

Now we are preparing materials for the Christmas tree. I suggest starting with sisal balls.

Take brown sisal, tear off a small amount and roll it into a ball in your palms. The size should be approximately the size of a walnut. This is done quickly, because... it takes the shape we need well.

In the end we get such a nice pile.

Then we take the walnuts and split them into even halves using a knife.

We clean the cores (they can be eaten later) because for the Christmas tree we only need the shell.

Unfortunately, the caps fall off the base when you get them home, so we glued them back to their rightful place to restore their original appearance.

Usually cinnamon sticks are sold in 10 cm sizes, because... This is a lot for a Christmas tree, we cut them in half with scissors.

So, we got these natural preparations for the Christmas tree:

  • walnut shells
  • acorns
  • sisal balls
  • small cinnamon sticks
  • star anise

We begin to glue everything onto the prepared base.

Using a glue gun, we glue one by one everything that we prepared earlier.

So let's start from the top...

And we slowly move down.

We try to place everything as close as possible.

We close the voids that we have formed with allspice.

Now let's take white paint in a can, we go out to Fresh air and paint some nuts white.

This is how we give our Christmas tree a snow-covered look.

To avoid strong contrasts, we wipe some of the nuts a little with a cotton swab moistened with nail polish remover.

If you wish, you can decorate it with your favorite decorative elements that you have lying around in your bins. We dressed her up in a garland of beads and refreshed her with white roses. A New Year's ribbon wrapped in jute twine was glued to the trunk.

The Christmas tree made from eco-friendly materials is ready.

The eco-theme is very pleasant and interesting, so you don’t have to stop at the Christmas tree; it’s better to create a whole New Year’s composition in the interior or on the holiday table!

Happy holidays everyone!
