There is just over a month left until the New Year, which means that the demand for Christmas trees and everything associated with them (as an attribute of the New Year) is becoming more and more in demand every day. Surely many people are familiar with that feeling when children have grown up, faith in New Year's miracle disappears, and with it the desire to install spruce/pine in the house. The problem with its removal, as well as free space, is very acute. I would like to bring to your attention a simple alternative to an ordinary Christmas tree. Small wooden Christmas trees made of plywood.

Everything is very simple, we cut out thin strips of wood from wooden blocks, gradually increasing the overall width, thereby forming a Christmas tree.

\

We glue all the plates together. Thus, we get an interesting Christmas tree. For greater beauty, we rotate the particles so that they do not stand straight, thereby imitating the liveliness of the branches. From below, in the extreme part of the board, in a previously prepared hole, we glue a wooden peg.

We cut out a square stand from plywood. We attach the second part of the peg to it.

A Christmas tree in the house during the New Year holidays is a wonderful tradition that has already for a long time more than one generation follows. This tree, decorated with shiny toys and sparkling garlands, invariably evokes awe and delight in the hearts of children and adults.

Despite the enormous popularity of the live Christmas tree, many still decorate their home with its artificial counterpart in order to preserve green spaces of coniferous trees. Therefore, alternative Christmas trees have recently come into fashion, thanks to the inexhaustible imagination of decorators, made from a wide variety of materials. Among them you can find structures made of wire, fabric, feathers, plastic, paper, glass and wood.

We devoted today's article to an unusual version of a wooden Christmas tree, because we are confident that such a tree can be a very effective solution.

Wooden Christmas trees

Maybe you recently replaced the plank flooring, dismantled a wooden table with wobbly legs, or have some unwanted boxes stored in the utility room of your home. All this can be reused to create original New Year's decor.

It is not necessary to have any special skills to put together a cone-shaped flat structure, and you can style the Christmas tree according to your idea of ​​what it should be.

For example:

• Naive, as in hand-drawn Soviet cartoons, covered with half-erased paint

• Made from unfinished boards, mounted directly on the floor or leaning against a wall, with a minimum of decoration

• With a clear geometry of the form and a sparkling garland, in a group of several simple Christmas trees with original homemade decorations

• Stacked design

A Christmas tree made entirely of wooden elements can resemble a traditional one in its silhouette, thanks to its three-dimensional design. And creating something like this is not at all difficult, because all that is needed is a cross-shaped base with a high metal pin in the center, onto which thin boards or branches of different lengths are strung in turn from bottom to top in descending order.

It is noteworthy that decorating a wooden Christmas tree is a pleasure. Glass balls and the figurines are simply hung at the ends of the boards, decorative figurines can simply be glued to them with double-sided tape, and tablet candles can be placed in pre-formed recesses.

• "Layout" of the Christmas tree

As proof of the great possibilities of wooden structures, here is another simple way to create a decorative tree. In this form, trees are most often recreated in small copies of parks and squares with models of residential and public buildings at the design stage.

Therefore, it seems to us interesting idea embodiment of the outlines of a New Year's tree following the example of objects made of papier-mâché and cardboard. It is possible to repeat each of the options below on our own at home.

The tree consists of two identical pieces of medium-thick plywood, which are connected to each other thanks to central cuts. In one part of the tree, in its center, a thin strip is cut (equal to the thickness of a sheet of plywood) from the base to the middle of the height of the tree, in the other part - from the top to the middle, with the help of which the structure is securely fastened.

A more detailed master class can be found in our article ““.

• A three-dimensional model of a Christmas tree, made not entirely from wood, but rather from its derivative material - cardboard. Several fragments of the same size and shape are folded in half lengthwise, and then glued together at the folds, forming a single figured model.

• Tabletop decorative Christmas trees

Your imagination is the most effective assistant in the task of realizing ideas on the theme of miniature wooden Christmas trees. In the event that there is not enough of it, we suggest turning to our photo selection.

Residues from plywood, fiberboard, MDF will serve as materials for tabletop decor for the New Year holidays and Christmas, and in order to preserve the characteristic texture of wood, we recommend limiting yourself to a small amount of decorations or a thin layer of acrylic paints.

Master class: whatnot - Christmas tree

If you have a mechanical jigsaw on your household, you can use it to design an absolutely charming Christmas tree, which, moreover, can be used as a wall shelf or tabletop shelf.

So, before you get started, you need to prepare:

1. Thin plywood sheet
2. Mechanical jigsaw (or manual, if you don't find it difficult to work with it)
3. Wood glue
4. Roulette
5. Simple pencil
6. Acrylic paint, brush

Step 1:

On a sheet of plywood you should draw an isosceles triangle - the basis of the future Christmas tree. To do this, use a tape measure to measure a horizontal line 40 cm long at the bottom of the sheet. Then, from its middle (20 cm), draw upward a strictly vertical line 60 cm long. From the resulting top, draw two segments down to the ends of the horizontal line.

Step 2:

We make blanks for the sides and shelves of the Christmas tree. We measure the lengths of its base and sides, and then visually divide the structure into three equal parts horizontally, thanks to which the tree will have two shelves in the upper and lower parts. (Don't forget to measure the trunk fragment and sides for it)

Step 3:

Depending on how deep you want to make your Christmas tree, you should draw all the necessary blanks with the indicated lengths and a total width of the rectangles of 5-10 cm.

Step 4:

Using a jigsaw, you need to cut out a triangular blank and all the rectangles from a sheet of plywood. Using wood glue, we gradually glue the rectangles to the sides of the base, placing their ends perpendicularly. After this, we glue the shelves in the spaces between the sides.

Step 5:

We glue the trunk with the sides to the tree last, after the back strip is attached.

Step 6:

Let the glue dry, check the reliability of the bond and cover the structure with two layers of acrylic paint.

So, in a few steps you can get a decorative Christmas tree rack, and you can easily decorate it with the most different ways: figurines of animals and birds, bunches of berries, beads, paper snowflakes and other crafts.

It can be anything, for example, paper, cotton pads, dry twigs, etc. After all, we all dream of surprising our loved ones with something special and unique. Therefore, if you are still thinking about what to give to mom, dad, etc. then you have a ready-made solution).

How to make a voluminous Christmas tree out of paper at home

I think that many have ever thought about this question. After all, schools and kindergartens often give assignments on this topic. I suggest making, for example, a silhouette Christmas tree. To do this, take this sample and print it on office colored sheets.

Then cut out with a stationery knife and glue the blanks together. Use special clamps for this.

You can make a whole forest of such colorful coniferous beauties.

The following work will be completed in 5 minutes. Don't believe me? It couldn’t be simpler; you will need circles of colored double-sided paper and a pencil on a stand. The diameter of the blanks, you see below:

1. Fold the circle in half with your hands, so that you get a semicircle.

Do exactly that! Carefully iron the fold with your hands.

2. Now fold the semicircle in half again.

4. And in the same way two more times.

6. And this is what happens. Carefully trim the ends of each piece with scissors.

7. Start assembling the product. Place all the blanks on a stick. From the largest circle to the smallest.

8. The only thing missing is a star or Santa Claus.

I especially found a video for you so that if you need it, you can, in addition to everything else, roll up a grandfather out of paper. A new article will be released soon, in which you will find many works with this hero, but for now, watch the story.

For those who found the first option quite easy and simple, you can take and fold a Christmas tree in origami style; for instructions and description, see below in this film.

2. Make a loop for four circular turns.

3. From the loop, step back 2 cm of wire free and without beads of wire and again count 2.5 cm and make a loop.

4. For the smallest branch, wind 7 loops in this way. Then find the middle and fold it in half and twist the elements together.

5. Thus, you should have this number of branches.

7. Now take the rod and wrap the tape, and then 4 branches with 7 loops to it. The first one is in the center, and the rest are placed below in a circle, twist the stick and wrap it with tape.

6. Next, take 6 branches of 9 loops each. Wrap them in a circle in two tiers of three branches, wind them in a circle. Then step back down about 7 mm and take 5 branches of 11 loops each and wind them in one tier.

7. Retract 7 mm again and wind 6 branches of 11 loops each and again divide them into two tiers. And so on. The final stage is 5 branches of 7 loops.

Rewind the remaining barrel with brown tape. Spread the branches to make the tree lush.

8. Bend the table at 90 degrees and place it in a cup from under the flowerpot. Pour alabaster solution into it and let it dry.

9. Wait until the tree sets; you can also plant any symbol of the New Year. For example, a pig or a rat.

Apply a thick solution from PVA glue and alabaster, dip kitchen napkin and glue it to the trunk. To get a natural look.

10. After complete hardening, start painting, but first remove the product from the cup. Paint the trunk brown and the platform white.

Greetings, friends! When you start to think about the onset of magic winter holiday New Year, you immediately think about miracles and gifts under the Christmas tree. After all, every family has such a tradition. In addition, the Christmas tree is the main attribute New Year's Eve and its absence is simply impossible to imagine. Therefore, I propose to talk about it today.

Previously, people always cut down the forest beauty and destroyed trees just because of a few. Now everything is a little different. Real Christmas trees have been replaced by artificial and homemade ones. The artificial option is good because once you buy the product, you install it every year. But DIY Christmas trees will be different from all others and will somehow decorate your home in a special way.

In addition, homemade Christmas trees are usually not made big size. And this allows you to solve the problem of installing a forest beauty in an apartment that does not have much space. Also, products can be placed on window sills and create a single composition with New Year's window decor.

Video about how you can make a Christmas tree with your own hands

In fact, there are a lot of ways to make homemade Christmas trees. Only I offered you about 100 photo ideas. And what are they made of? I tried to sort out all the options as much as possible so that you can definitely choose your beauty and build it with pleasure. Finally, I picked up one story that contains different variants handmade Christmas trees. So to speak, for your inspiration).

Well, all I can do is wish you creative success and festive mood. And Happy New Year, friends!

If you want to surprise your guests with an unusual decor, to celebrate Christmas and New Year in an original way, I offer several ideas on how to make a wooden Christmas tree with your own hands - materials - branches with driftwood, roots, wood cuts, just a piece of wood or plywood.

Decorative birch tree - tree cuts

This is a Christmas craft for men, the Christmas tree is made using birch sections. Can serve as decor both inside and outside the house. It is not necessary to cut out Christmas figures inside each wooden round; you can leave it as is, or apply a design by burning.

If you are not too lazy, you can make stencil drawings with acrylic paint. But in my opinion, it looks more interesting in natural color.

And this close-up, the stencils of the drawings are made like on Christmas cookies - a star, a heart, a deer, a Christmas tree. The bark is not peeled (it turns out much better this way!), no special processing.

It is not necessary to cut branches that are thick in diameter; you can be content with thin ones, there will simply be more of them. Fastening with glue.

DIY creative Christmas tree made from branches and driftwood

This is an even simpler version of a homemade Christmas tree. This is good to put in front of the house, in the garden. And next to her are such wonderful fawns, which were also made using natural material.

If these objects are entwined with a garland of lanterns, then even such an “unsightly” Christmas tree will shine with a completely different light. Nobody forbids decorating such a decorative coniferous tree like a real one - with balls and toys. Especially in the evening light it will be magnificent.

The easiest way to make a souvenir tree is to find a piece of plywood or a wooden block, draw the outlines of the future craft on it, and then, as the sculptor said, “remove all that is unnecessary.”

Place it on a stand for greater stability and stability.

To paint it green or leave it as is is up to the owner of the forest beauty.

If you drill a few holes, then you can easily hang small, light decorations on the tree - sweets, paper toys, ribbons, or just colored glass balls.

Other wooden products are suitable for such crafts as decor - garlands with sticks, twigs, cones, for example, like those in the picture below.

You can use wooden beads, all sorts of trinkets, and old, no longer needed children's toys for kids.

There are many options for making a wooden Christmas tree with your own hands - you can come up with your own (cones, shavings, whatever!), it all depends on your imagination and preferences.

A wooden Christmas tree craft can be painted entirely; as you can see, even White color(she will be in the snow!), or you can create an aging effect.

To do this, before painting, slightly rub the protruding parts with wax or paraffin of a regular candle. After the paint has dried, the paint will not stick to the treated areas, wipe them with a cloth - this way you can “age” any objects.

In the end, I’ll show you several options for a New Year’s tree made from white-painted wooden sticks or twigs that I spied in store windows during the pre-Christmas days.

These Christmas trees look good, they resemble snow-covered beauties in the forest. In my opinion, the most impressive is the latest option, such a stick pyramid, with the smallest sticks used at the very top, medium ones in the middle, and large ones at the very bottom.

Such a wooden craft can easily be decorated with real Christmas tree toys, for example, with balls, put a bird on a branch, at least
