How to create voluminous trees from flat sheets of paper
Paper is always in demand, and especially on New Year's Eve, because it is such a wonderful material for applied art! With careful handling and storage, paper products can serve more than one holiday, but modern material - bright and colorful, which makes it possible to fully use such decorative crafts in the interior.
We offer you to find out how paper Christmas trees are made and make the same beauty yourself.
How to create a voluminous Christmas tree
For those who do not remember how to work with paper, we will remind you of a few simple rules:
To assemble a voluminous fluffy tree, you need scissors, colored paper and a little glue.
Funny thorny Christmas tree made of paper tubes
Everyone has heard about weaving from newspapers, but not everyone is ready to master it. But trying to make paper tubes and glue them to the base of the tree is a simple and interesting lesson.

Paper tubes are attached to the cone, or any rod of suitable size, with hot glue, starting from the lower tier. It is better to calculate the number of tiers in advance in order to prepare tubes sorted by size
Those who want to master weaving from newspaper tubes should be patient: first, you need to prepare a considerable number of tubes. To do this, the newspaper is cut into strips 5 cm wide. Each strip is wound on a thin needle at an acute angle, gluing at the end the free tip with a PVA tube. After that, they decide how they will paint the product: immediately tubes or a finished craft. Coloring is done in any convenient way. Someone dips the blanks in paint, stain, someone paints them with a brush on the grate. The finished tree can be painted with a spray bottle.

The tube is inclined to the next one at the corner closest in the direction and replace it by braiding and bending the tube from the base to the next one in the direction

The weaving of the base can be folded into an interesting pattern. When the tube ends, a narrow tip of a new one is inserted into it, smeared with PVA glue, and weaving continues

There are a lot of options for braiding a cone under a Christmas tree, the finished product is decorated with suitable decorative elements

Cute fluffy Christmas tree for drop-down cards
Christmas trees made of paper for the New Year can be made by a child under the guidance of an adult. For crafts, you need colored paper, a base for a postcard, PVA glue, a simple pencil and scissors.

Cut out four rectangular strips from a sheet of colored paper, each 2 cm smaller than the previous one. We fold each strip like a fan. We glue the extreme sides on the card closer to the fold. When opened, a simple and beautiful Christmas tree will be obtained.

The pattern of the tree may be different, it all depends on the skills of working with scissors: the edges of the tree will be no less beautiful if they are made not wavy, but jagged

Sometimes you wonder what to pack a New Year's souvenir or a delicious gift. Hand-made packaging will always touch the heart of the donee, so we will spend a little time in creative works.

The box template can be downloaded and printed, or drawn similar. The main thing is that all the edges fit exactly together.

We transfer the template to cardboard or thick paper, draw up the future box and then cut it out.No glue needed - do we want the gift to be opened? We will use a satin ribbon as a connecting element.
Let's make a voluminous tree made of paper and cardboard with our own hands and decorate the interior
There are many simple and chic ideas for using a handmade paper tree to decorate the New Year's interior of a room. A voluminous beauty, albeit not brought from the store and not grown in the forest, will wonderfully serve to raise the mood for the holiday.
Volumetric trees: conical base
First of all, let's be puzzled how best to make a cone for a Christmas tree from cardboard. A dense, durable cone is a guarantee that the product will stand all New Year's holidays without deformations.
For the cone, cardboard, thick paper and the remains of wallpaper are suitable.
How to beautifully decorate a conical base
It is easy to turn a cardboard cone into a fabulous Christmas tree with the help of various decorations. The simplest solution available to everyone is to braid the cone with paper fringe. It is better to make the fringe from corrugated paper, but if it is absent, then the usual colored one will do: cut the strips of the required width, glue them into one long strip. If they are carefully folded several times, without crushing the edges, then you can immediately cut a beautiful fringe along the entire length.
Christmas trees made of cardboard from blades
Following the principle of creating a product from blades, it is not difficult to make a Christmas tree of any size. The essence of the work is the preparation of two, three or four identical templates for the silhouette of a New Year tree with slots at the top and bottom. No glue is needed for assembly, the craft will stand without problems.

An approximate spruce pattern. The contours of the tree can be any, the main thing is that the slots should be located only in this way

It will not be difficult to assemble a large spruce from cardboard; decorate the work with paper crafts, stickers, beads. You can stick real Christmas balls to the Christmas tree on scotch tape
From two patterns, a four-bladed Christmas tree is obtained.
Volumetric Christmas trees: the carved art of vytynanka
Many are familiar with the paper cutting technique called vytynanka. We suggest creating a Christmas tree of magical beauty using paper, a pencil (or a printed template), scissors and a cutter knife.
Paper templates for the Christmas tree
It is worth looking at the idea of a Christmas tree in such a wonderful technique:

If you smear the beauty in places with PVA glue and sprinkle glitter on the drops of glue, it will turn out even more beautiful

For work, we will prepare a workplace with a backing board, a cutter knife or a stationery knife, a protruding template.
Carefully holding the template, cut through all the small details, gradually moving to a large pattern. The tree itself is cut with scissors last.
Two blanks are glued together in the middle. The blades of the vytynanka are spread and a beautiful carved coniferous tree is obtained.
Modular Christmas trees
A tree is considered a modular tree, consisting of numerous identical elements. We offer to collect the most beautiful spruce using the quilling technique or a multi-tiered beauty from paper fans.
Christmas trees, paper crafts using quilling technique
The paper-rolling process is interesting and not difficult even for beginners. We buy ready-made strips in a craft store - they are perfectly the same, dense enough and completely colored.In addition to paper strips, we need PVA glue, a wooden skewer or a toothpick, cardboard, decorative elements.

Christmas tree made of paper fans
There is nothing easier than making a New Year's paper tree from fans. All girls in childhood made themselves a fan of paper. It's time to take this simple art to the next level!

You need to make several voluminous snowflakes from the fans and glue them together using large beads and glue. The beads will add volume to the tree and separate the fan's "branches"
The instructions for creating are simple. We cut several rectangular strips; their width should gradually decrease; at the upper tiers, the length can also be reduced slightly. We fold the fans out of rectangles and glue the edges together. It will be even better to stitch the base with a needle and thread before gluing, collecting a fan. Once the glue is applied, the fan is placed on the table surface and a small load is placed on top.
We hope you also want to make your own paper or cardboard Christmas tree that will brighten the holiday!
