Instructions
Step 1
Start by making Christmas tree decorations. The easiest option is to wrap apples and nuts in foil. Foil needs a single layer, without a paper base. It wrinkles easily, so it won't be difficult to wrap a round object in it. Make eyelets out of thick, well-twisted threads and hang your creations on the tree.
Step 2
You can also make toys out of paper. Openwork stars and snowflakes will look very good. Cut a sheet of thin (but opaque) colored paper so that you get a square. Fold the square diagonally, and then the resulting triangle along an imaginary line connecting the right angle to the midpoint of the hypotenuse. This is a new triangle, fold it in half again. Cut off the open edge with a tracery line. It can be pre-drawn. It can consist of bends, teeth, etc. Then cut out the folds. The more teeth and notches, the more beautiful the star or snowflake will turn out. By the way, you can add a square not only eight times, but also six and ten times. You will get different snowflakes.
Step 3
Balls made of threads look interesting on the Christmas tree. Inflate the balloon. Take a ball of cotton thread, like an iris, and thread the end of the thread through the needle. Use a needle to pierce through a plastic bottle with glue and pull the thread through the holes. Wrap the glue-soaked thread around the ball until there is no space, except for a small hole where the ball is tying. Let the product dry. Then pierce the balloon and remove it. The Christmas ball can be decorated with applique.
Step 4
Decorate your festive table. Bottles will look better in cases that can be knitted or sewn from shreds. Start knitting the case from the bottom. It is better to do it crochet. Tie a chain of 5-8 stitches, close it in a circle. Next, knit in a circle with simple columns, making 1 loop at the beginning of each row. Add loops evenly to make a flat circle. When it becomes slightly larger than the bottom of the bottle, start knitting the sides. It's just a pipe that fits in circles without adding. Tie to the desired height, tie the edge with cloves. If napkins from the same yarn are knitted to such a case, the table will turn out to be very elegant.
Step 5
You can even make a Christmas tree with your own hands or just twigs that are placed in a vase. This requires a beautifully shaped branch and several sheets of thin white or green paper. The paper can be transparent. Foil will do as well. Cut a sheet of paper into strips 3-5 cm wide. Cut each strip with a comb, leaving an uncut edge of 0.5-1 cm. Grease this edge with glue. Wrap the strip gently around the branch. Make and attach a few more of these strips.
