To make leaves for them, cut into squares of various sizes, cut leaves out of them. Heating the needle over the flame, make a hole in the upper part of the hole.
Insert a thin wire here, fold in half, twist. Combine three branches into one, make several such blanks.
To make further a decorative tree with your own hands, connect several blanks consisting of three branches.

Using a piece, cut 6 pieces of wire of 30 cm, 5 of 25 and 22 of 4 cm.
Armed with scotch tape, use it to attach three small ones to one large branch. Form several of these blanks.
At the next stage, the branches need to be wrapped in a cloth. Fleece or velvet looks especially beautiful, use these fabrics. From the selected brown fabric, you need to cut strips, their width is 2 cm. Wrap the newly created blank branches with them, leave 3 cm free at the bottom. Fix the ends of the fabrics with glue.
In this technique, arrange several blanks. Now they need to be collected into a single tree. To do this, you need to cut off a strip 3 cm wide from the fabric, wrap it around the canvas and the connected branches. Secure the ends of the fabric with glue.
To make the decorative tree further, you need to place it in the container of your choice. If it does not have a narrow neck, pour gypsum or cement mortar into the container to fix the plant. Spread the branches and you can start decorating them.

Glue the leaves to the twigs, and you can start creating fruits. We will make them from pompons. Cut out two circles with a diameter of 3 cm from the cardboard. Draw a smaller circle inside, cut it out. You will get two of these cardboard rings.
Connect them into one piece, wind a red thread around it, using a crochet hook. The yarn should completely cover the workpiece. Now you need to cut it along the outer edge, lay a brown thread, use it to tighten the resulting pompom.

Christmas tree do it yourself
To create it, you need a small set of necessary things, these are:
- thin and thick wire;
- woolen green threads;
- gypsum;
- lighter;
- candle;
- glue;
- scissors;
- green plastic bottles;
- cotton wool;
- capacity;
- Christmas decorations;
- artificial snow.
Take 3-4 thick wires, twist the trunk out of them, bend the lower part so that this part is stable in a container with plaster. Where do you put it.
While the plaster is hardening, make twigs to make an elegant Christmas tree. With your own hands, cut off the neck and bottom of the green plastic bottle. Using scissors, the remaining part of this container must be chopped into identical strips. Their long edges must be cut into a fringe.
Using a heated needle on the flame, make a small hole in the corner of this plastic blank. Put a thin wire in here, fold it in half and twist it. Do the same with the rest of the blanks.
Now, starting from this corner, roll the wire. In order for the turns of plastic to be fastened together, periodically bring the solid side of the workpiece to the candle flame.
It is necessary to close not the entire branch with such needles, but only its upper part. Do the same with the rest of the details.
You can melt the needles over a candle flame or leave them in their original form. The workpieces should be of different sizes.
The crown of the decorative tree will be the shortest. Attach it here with the free end of the wire.
Then there are branches of a slightly larger size.
So gradually collect the whole tree, then wrap its trunk with green thread, securing the ends with glue.
If you are making a Christmas tree for the New Year or in the middle of summer you want to remember this holiday, then decorate the pot with artificial snow, you can replace it with ordinary cotton wool. Leave the tree as it is or decorate it with toys.
Such a decorative tree looks great at any time of the year. If you still have green plastic bottles, you can make a second Christmas tree with your own hands according to a different principle.
This is how it will turn out.
Take:
- dense polyethylene or green oilcloth;
- satin ribbon;
- Styrofoam;
- a branch of a tree;
- suitable capacity;
- glue gun;
- alabaster;
- wire;
- beads.
To make branches, you need to cut oilcloth or polyethylene into strips of 5 by 30 cm. Fold them in half and cut them with a fringe on one edge. When you unfold such a blank, these needles will be on both sides.
In total, you will need about 20-25 such tapes. To make these parts turn into twigs, wind each one around a piece of wire.
Roll a cone out of cardboard and fix the sheet in this position with a stapler, align the edges with scissors. Spread glue on one side of the branch, attach to the back of the top of the cardboard cone.
If the fixation of the branch is weak, then first wrap its end with threads, grease them with glue and attach to the cone.
Here's how the Christmas tree is done next. Put it in a suitable container with your own hands, pour alabaster or other quick-drying solution here. Hold in this position for a while so that the mass grabs. You can lean against a vertical support to free your hands.
When the tree is in place, cover the surface of the mortar with pieces of styrofoam, which will become snowdrifts by gluing this material.
The container can be decorated with twine, for example. It is also fixed with glue.
To get a decorative tree with needles, take blanks from film and wire. Wrapping them around the cone, fix the turns with glue.
When the entire surface of the cardboard is decorated in this way, you need to arrange a herringbone. To do this, cut the strips from a thin satin ribbon, tie them in the form of bows. To prevent the ends of these items from wiping, scorch them over a flame.
Wrap the Christmas tree with gold thread from top to bottom in a spiral, glue the bows. You can decorate the pot with beads and rejoice at what a wonderful DIY Christmas tree it has turned out.
If you want to get acquainted with another method that will tell you how to make a decorative coniferous tree with your own hands, then the third master class in this section is for you.

- scissors.
For such a tree, you don't even need glue, so your hands will remain clean. From the bottle, you need to cut off the neck together with the hangers, put an album sheet twisted in a cone into the upper hole.
From the rest of the container, you need to cut 9 blanks:
- three pieces will be 4 by 6 cm in size;
- the next three pieces are 7 by 8 cm;
- three more blanks 5, 5 by 8 cm.
Now cut each such detail on one side into strips in the form of a fringe. Their width is 4 mm, they do not reach the top about 1 cm.
Now you need to twist all these strips using the blunt side of the blade. Press it firmly against the plastic and slide it up and down several times.
Now these "eyelashes" need to be attached to the trunk.
Attach the largest ones down with adhesive tape, the smallest should be at the top.
Twist one smaller piece into a fountain and insert it into the top of the paper cone.

How to make bonsai?
Such a decorative tree can also be made from the most unexpected materials.
To create such a craft, you will need:
- tracing paper;
- pencil;

First, you need to take a piece of wire that will be 2 times larger than the future tree. It needs to be folded in half, make a loop at the bottom. You need to make two holes in the stand. If it's plastic, use a hot nail or scissors to make them. If the material is denser, then put a block of styrofoam on the bottom of the container, wrap the wire around it.
By folding these two ends of the wire at the top, you will form the trunk. And bend it several times in different directions. Make branches out of wire, screw them to the base of the tree.
You will make smaller branches from thin wire, also screwing it into place.
Now wrap the foil tightly around the tree and its thicker branches. Then coat this blank with brown paint. Use a dry brush to brush over it to make the bark as realistic as possible.
Cut the leaves from a green cloth, attach a piece of wire to each with liquid nails or hot glue. Now it will be easy to attach the leaves to the twigs. Cover the sheets with green paint if desired.
To fix the decorative tree in the container, pour alabaster or gypsum here. You can put this solution only on the bottom of the pallet, and place crumpled newspapers on top. They are also covered with a small amount of plaster. You can decorate the surface of the pot with green shavings or paint this shade.
