How to make a Christmas tree out of newspaper. MK “New Year tree woven from paper tubes”
Oh, very beautiful decor for New Year's home decoration. Such a Christmas tree can be made from materials that are likely to be found in every home.
To work we will need:
You can see how to twist tubes and some types of weaving in more detail.
Stages of work
To begin, draw a circle on cardboard (or any thick sheet of paper, I have a cover from an old magazine) (I have a circle diameter of 13 cm) and make a circle around the hole at a distance of 1.5-2 cm (photo 1). I got 20 holes.
We attach the cone to the circle on the cardboard (to make the structure heavier, I place a champagne bottle in the cone) and insert tubes into the holes (for the stands I took tubes from office paper - they are stronger) - photo 3.
Before inserting the tube, bend its tip, as in photo 4.
I place a sheet of paper under the entire structure, this will make it more convenient to rotate the product; the curved ends remain between the sheets (photo 5).
We increase the racks to achieve the required height. We fasten all the tubes at the top with an elastic band (photo 6).
We take the green working tube (the working tubes must be wet), bend it in half and apply it to the stand (photo 7).
We weave the first row with a “rope” (photo 8).
Then add a third green tube and three more gray ones (photo 9).
We weave one row with a “rope of three tubes” using paired tubes (photo 10).
So we weave a total of 6 rows (3 green and 3 gray) - photo 12.
Now we continue to weave with the same tubes, but we will wind each one in front of three racks behind the fourth (photo 13-14).
We should have 8 rows in total (photo 15).
And add the tubes again to make three pairs (photo 16). We weave a row “with a rope of three pairs of tubes.”
Then we leave two gray tubes and weave (photo 17) one row with a “rope”.
It should look like this (photo 18). We cut the tubes and glue them.
Now we retreat about 2 cm from the last row, apply a gray working tube and weave one row with a “rope” (photo 19-20).
“Cintz” weaving 6 rows (photo 22).
10 rows - weaving in front of three racks for the fourth (photo 23).
We complete this part in the same way - a row of “strings of three pairs of tubes” and a row of “strings” of gray tubes (photo 24).
We retreat 2 cm and repeat the weaving: 1 row with a “rope” of gray tubes; 4 rows of “chintz” weaving; 12 rows “in front of three racks behind the fourth.”
We also add tubes to weave a “rope of three pairs of tubes,” but during weaving we will cut off some of the posts. It is necessary to cut 5 racks - this means every fourth (photo 25). First we cut it, and then weave a row with a “rope of three pairs of tubes”, evenly distributing the remaining posts and the row with a “rope” of gray tubes.
Once again we retreat from the last row. We weave one rad with a “rope” of gray tubes. Two rows of “calico weave” (photo 26).
We weave the next rows in front of three racks behind the fourth. Approximately 7 cm from the beginning of the fourth part of the tree, we cut off a few more posts - every third (photo 27).
We weave another 3 cm with the same weave. Then we simply wrap the top of the tree - this is another 5 cm (photo 28).
We cut off the ends of the posts, except for one (we will put a star on it), glue the ends of the tubes, and clamp them with a clothespin so that they stick well - photos 29-32.
We take out our Christmas tree from the cardboard and remove the cone from it. This is what happened (photo 33).
We fill the protruding ends, as in photos 34-37.
Now we need to weave a star.
We put the star on the left stand (see photo 38).
This is such a beauty we have. We prime it (PVA glue + water 1:1), let it dry well and apply varnish.
All that remains is to dress her up.
We decorate the Christmas tree with lace, ribbons and decorative balls (or any other decor). And the star can be covered with patina (apply white paint using a sponge).
Such a Christmas tree can be given as a gift for the New Year. It will be a very original gift! A truly handmade product :)

Magazines. This technique for making a New Year tree is no longer new, but if you get a little creative with the New Year theme, you can make completely unusual, original New Year trees.
First, let's figure out how to make the simplest Christmas tree from magazine.
We will need a magazine of at least 60 pages.
We begin to bend the page at an angle 45 degrees.
And bend it again.
Expand the sheet. We bend the lower protruding corner upward.
And we hide this corner inside the folded page.
All folds Fine press down fingernail or a suitable object, such as scissor handles. This is necessary so that the pages of the magazine do not unfold.
So we add it up every page magazine until they run out.
It turns out we have this Christmas tree from a magazine.
You can use magazines with fewer sheets. For example, if in the magazine 32 sheets(the number must be even), you will get a Christmas tree like this.
To improve the look, you can secure the edges of such a Christmas tree in the following order.
We fasten each two corners of the tree in a circle at the bottom with a stapler.
This is what should happen.
You will now have such an original Christmas tree.
You can leave this tree as it is.
You can paint a Christmas tree from a magazine.
Paint better spray paints in the entrance or in a ventilated room (the paint smells strong), after covering the entire floor with newspapers.
Or you can not fasten with a stapler, but take the idea of \u200b\u200bdesigning the edges from the advice.
And we bend the corners or in one side, or push the corners inward. Whoever likes it.
New Year tree from newspaper
If there are no suitable magazines for making a Christmas tree, then the same Christmas tree can be made from a newspaper. Newsprint paper is softer than that used for magazines, so there should be more sheets in the newspaper than in the magazine ( from 200 sheets). Newspapers are usually not sewn together, so you can take several newspapers and sew them together. Poke several holes along the central fold with an awl.
And stitch with a needle and thread.
And then we roll the sheets as usual.
The Christmas tree can be decorated if its edges are coated with glue and pressed to a surface with semolina or sparkles.
This is the Christmas tree made from newspapers, the number of sheets is approximately 120 pieces.
You can place the sheets in only one plane, cut off the bottom corner, apply three elements and make a decoration in the form of a Christmas tree on the wall.
Small Christmas trees made using this technique can be used as Christmas tree decorations.
To protect the environment or your own convenience.
Did you know that you can make a New Year's beauty from items that you have in the house? And if you like to place small Christmas trees around the rooms, then you can make them from paper according to step-by-step instructions.
I continue to show the most interesting options for decorating your home or office with your own hands for the New Year holiday. Let's make Christmas trees from paper and cardboard, which can be found in every home.
Don't forget to be creative to make your work exclusive. I show the principle of creation, you choose the color and material for production yourself.
First, I show you what the end result will look like, if you like it and have an idea of what material you will make it from, how you will decorate it, then read on and look at the photo on how to make such a Christmas tree.
Christmas tree from magazines
Prepare 2 magazines of the same size...preferably one edition. Because the number of pages, their size and paper thickness must be the same. You can take an old book that you can tear, it doesn’t have to be in color, it can be a regular black and white one.
You will also need PVA glue and if you have wine corks, prepare 5 pieces for a stand under the Christmas tree.
We take one magazine, open the last page and begin to fold it as in the photo.
First, fold it in half under the corner, then fold the folded page in half again.
We press our fingers tightly along the folds so that the folded page becomes flat.
At the bottom, outside the magazine, there is an extra corner sticking out; we bend it along the edge of the magazine and hide it inside the page folded into a triangle.
The page turned into a triangle with a sharp end at the top. We bend it to the left, and on the right half of the magazine we fold the next page in exactly the same way. And then all the pages to the end.
We do the same work with the second magazine.
If the covers of magazines are the same density as the pages, then we also fold triangles out of them. And if not, then the covers need to be torn off or carefully trimmed.
So, the pages of the two magazines became in the form of triangles, we put them against each other with the sides where the covers were and carefully glue them in the center.
The actual Christmas tree from the magazine is ready. You can leave it as it is, or you can make a stand from wine corks, for example. We glue 5 identical corks with barrels facing each other and this structure will stand steadily on the table; we place the Christmas tree on it with glue.
As a stand, you can use any object that fits - a box, a jar, a glass...
The Christmas tree can be left as is, or you can decorate it with beads and tinsel.
The same Christmas tree can be made from an old book. To do this, you need to tear it apart or tear off 2 parts with approximately an equal number of pages.
We fold it the same way as magazines. Lubricate the finished Christmas tree with a little glue, maybe unevenly, and sprinkle it with glitter. You can spray the tree with green spray paint and immediately sprinkle with foam crumbs.
An unusually beautiful Christmas tree is created by folding magazine pages like in the video.
Watch the master class.
Crafts from paper and cardboard
If you have unnecessary cardboard from plain and multi-colored packaging or thick multi-colored packaging paper in your house, then I will show you how to make a Christmas tree using only scissors and glue. To make the Christmas tree more beautiful, stock up on curly paper scissors and a wooden skewer.
First, make blanks from circles of different diameters, 3 circles of the same size. Reduce the diameter of the following circles by 1 cm.
Make holes in the center of the circles with the diameter of the skewer on which we will string them.
The diameter of the upper small circles is 2 cm.
The Christmas tree will turn out more beautiful if you cut out the circles with curly scissors.
Cut circles of about 2cm in diameter from plain cardboard to space between the colored circles. Also make holes in the center of the circles.
For the stand, cut out a cardboard square for the stand, insert a skewer into its center and add a drop of glue. The side of the square is 1 cm less than the diameter of the large circle.
We round the corners of the square or you can immediately cut out a circle for the stand.
We start assembling - we string the circles one by one, and between them we string a small cardboard circle.
We cut off the excess end of the skewer and glue a star made of bright or shiny material to the top of the Christmas tree.
Newspaper Christmas tree
Let's make a miracle out of newspapers! Surprise your family and guests!
First, we will learn how to make roses, using red paper as an example, but for our craft, I think newspapers are more original.
The number of roses depends on the size of the cone on which you will glue them.
Making paper roses
The execution diagram is in the photo, and read the description below.
We cut 10x10cm squares from newspaper, draw spirals on them and then cut them out. The thickness of the spiral is at least 1 cm.
We take the spiral and begin to roll it tightly, starting from the outer end. Roll it up tightly and secure the end with glue.
For the central part of the rose we make it smaller and for the top part even smaller.
If desired, beads of any color can be glued to the center of the roses. Or, on the finished Christmas tree, glue beads to the center of some roses, distributing them evenly. Beads can be either the same color or different colors.
We begin the assembly by gluing a cone from cardboard or Whatman paper; you can buy a ready-made foam cone. The cone needs to be covered with newspaper paper.
We start gluing the roses from the bottom, you can glue them tightly, or a little looser.
Decorate the top of the head with some small Christmas tree decorations or a star.
Making from cardboard rolls
Everything will come in handy on the farm! We don’t throw away cardboard rolls of toilet paper, we collect them and make a Christmas tree out of cardboard for the holiday.
Don't worry, no one will even guess what material this miracle is made of!

We offer an interesting way of making a decorative Christmas tree - weaving a Christmas tree from newspaper tubes. The height of such a Christmas tree is arbitrary, however, the lower, the faster you will weave.
To weave a Christmas tree from newspaper tubes you will need:
Crepe paper/cardboard (for the base);
Masking tape;
Newspaper tubes;
Paint (at your discretion);
Decor as desired (beads, buttons);
Scissors, glue.
The process of weaving a Christmas tree from newspaper tubes
Initially you will need to roll up a cone base from cardboard/strong paper. Wrap the top with masking tape (photo 1). Lay out three tubes as in photo 2 and glue them together in the center (you can also secure them with tape on both sides). Place a cone on top (photo 3).
Glue the fourth tube to one of the laid out tubes and place it tangentially (photo 4). Bend the next newspaper tube and also place it tangentially (photo 5). By analogy, each subsequent tube is bent (photo 6). From above you can see how a hexagon is drawn (photo 7), the sides of which should be equal (photo 8).
Place the final tube on top of the first one and weave it further in a spiral (photo 9). You will need a lot of tubes (photo 12). Weave all the way to the top of the head (photo 11). Secure the weaving at the very top - thread the tube under the weaving (photo 12).
Lift all the tubes up, wrap one and tie it in a knot (photo 13). Then cut the tubes at the base (photo 14) and remove the cone (photo 15).
