New Year is a magical holiday, a time when children and adults are waiting for miracles and magic. Waiting for a celebration can be exciting if you approach the preparation correctly. Decorating a home, buying gifts, tinsel and Christmas toys hung with love on a forest beauty ate - all this creates a special atmosphere. A Christmas tree is an integral attribute of New Year's Eve, it can be bought on the market or a small copy can be made from improvised material. Consider a simple option for creating a Christmas tree from a substrate for a laminate.

What do you need

Before you start manufacturing, we will prepare everything you need:

• a substrate about 2 mm thick can be taken white or blue;
• small multi-colored beads;
• a capron cap on a jar, or other dense material for a stand;
• 2 mm wire;
• thick cardboard;
• glue moment;
• scissors;
• a pen;
• awl;
• pliers.

All components can be bought in the store or apply the rest of the material after laying the laminate.

DIY Christmas tree option

Consider the simplest option for making a Christmas tree from a foil substrate, which is ideal for crafts in kindergarten, especially since it can be done with a child.

The execution algorithm is as follows:

1. In the nylon cover or in a round piece of plywood, make a hole exactly in the middle.
2. Insert the wire and fix it on the back side.
3. Use white material or cotton wool to glue the stand with a moment glue or PVA.
4. From the substrate, cut the desired number of diamonds of different sizes large for the bottom row, and for the crown the smallest;
5. Using an awl, make holes in each element and string them onto the wire in a checkerboard pattern. Improvised branches should gradually decrease from bottom to top.
6. Top with star. Cut 2 identical parts from the substrate and glue them between the soda directly on the end of the wire.

The Christmas tree is ready, it only deserves to beautify it.

REFERENCE! Another option for the New Year's beauty, it is more difficult to complete and will require time and patience from you. But, the result will be a tender tree with carved branches.

You need to proceed as follows:

• fasten the wire to the plastic cover. This is not difficult to do. We make a loop at one end of the wire, thread the second into the hole in the middle of the lid - pierce it with an awl. Mask the loop on the back of the stand with plasticine.
• On paper we draw patterns of branches and vertices, which we then transfer to the substrate and cut out. The right amount of branches is made, depending on what height you want to receive the Christmas tree. When drawing branches, remember that the lower legs should be larger than the upper.
• Now you need to cut a circle from a substrate with a diameter of 20 cm;
• A circle with a diameter of 15 cm is cut out of thick cardboard;
• You can assemble the stand. We install a cover on the cardboard, then we pierce the substrate with wire and cover it from above - it turns out to be an imitation of snow. Apply glue along the inside diameter and bond the cardboard to the backing.
• Getting to the assembly of the Christmas tree. String a few beads on the wire. Then place the first row of spruce branches - there should be 5 pcs. So that they do not move, they can be glued to the base.
• Then string 2-3 beads and the second row - 5 pcs.
• Continue the process until the entire trunk is hidden by beads and branches.
• At the end, on top, arrange the crown glued from two parts.

The Christmas tree is ready, you can start decorating.

Interesting! This is a very convenient option for a forest beauty made by yourself - you can disassemble it, put it in a small box and put it away for storage until next year. But, there is a condition - the branches cannot be glued in this case.

How to decorate

Now it's time to decorate the beautiful self-made beauty. Remember, the substrate is a very soft material - it will not withstand heavy jewelry, so you can use light beads, beads, a little rain and sparkles.

Beads can be glued for a moment. Beads and sparkles put on hair spray. It is carried out very simply - spray a large amount of varnish on the Christmas tree and pour spangles on top. When the fixing composition has dried, the spangles adhere firmly to the spruce paws of the substrate.

In the same way, decorations can be made from rain cut into small pieces.

REFERENCE! Small snowflakes from a substrate of small thickness (less than 1 mm) look very nice.

You can decorate the forest beauty from the substrate in any way, for example, paint the paws in different colors - turn on the imagination and you will get an exclusive version.

Finally

To create jewelry and gifts for the New Year with your own hands, the activity is very exciting, especially if the whole family takes part in this process. A herringbone from a substrate under a laminate can become not only a decoration for the home or a craft for kindergarten, but also a great present for a loved one. Moreover, there are a lot of ideas and manufacturing methods on the net.
