Farewell to the New Year tree in kindergarten. Scenario for the winter holiday at the preschool educational institution “Farewell to the Christmas tree”

Do-it-yourself voluminous Christmas tree made of cardboard. The Master's Secret brings to your attention a pre-New Year's tree design made from cardboard or thick paper. This universal design can be assembled and disassembled at the right time of year and used as a tabletop Christmas tree, and in the office it can also serve as an office organizer. When making a Christmas tree from thick green paper or thin plastic, the tree can be sent by letter as original congratulations. To make the Christmas tree itself or stencils, a project file is available for download. The design of the Christmas tree allows it to be cut using a stationery knife or scissors. The contours of the blanks are simple and do not require special cutting skills.

How to make a Christmas tree from cardboard with your own hands

1. Download the Christmas tree project file, pdf file format.
2. Decide on the material for making a homemade Christmas tree. For a large Christmas tree, such improvised material as corrugated cardboard is well suited; it is very convenient to use thin corrugated cardboard from various gadgets. But it is also permissible to use thick paper. It is convenient to immediately apply the boundaries of parts onto thick paper using a printer.

3. Format the image to the desired size. We print the project file onto thick paper for cutting and assembling a Christmas tree or for making stencils. If printing is carried out on thick paper, then the third sheet of the project is printed 4 times. The drawings are transferred from the stencils onto the cardboard. If you don’t have a printer, stencils can be made by tracing the contours of the details of the Christmas tree project into the light of a sheet placed on the monitor.
4. We cut out 10 craft parts of three types with our own hands. Please note that the width of the lock slots for assembly must be no more than thickness the material used. You need to cut 4 small pieces, 4 medium pieces, one large piece with a slot in the center at the bottom, and one large piece with a slot in the center at the top. See photos and videos.

5. It’s good if the paper or cardboard is green. If such material was not available, then the blanks must be painted on both sides. In this version, white water-based paint was used with the color that was used for. It is acceptable to use other types of paints or paint the tree after assembly.
6. The star on the top of the head is made using the appliqué method - gluing red paper.

Star applique

7. Before assembly, you need to check the width of the slots and, if necessary, correct them with scissors.

8. The assembly scheme is simple and is carried out in five stages. First, two large pieces are joined together. Then four small ones are connected to each other. Please note that the connection of the first and fourth parts is carried out with a lock and the parts must be bent when connecting. Next, the four middle blanks are also connected to each other. At the fifth stage, medium-sized ones are installed on small workpieces. And finally, large blanks are placed on top of the locks. At making the right choice The width of the slots results in a rigid structure for a homemade Christmas tree.

The Christmas tree is one of the main attributes of such a large-scale holiday as New Year. No one forgets about it when purchasing live or artificial Christmas trees for their home and decorating it with different outfits, souvenirs, and garlands. We will make a Christmas tree out of paper, which can be placed somewhere in the apartment (for example, on a table), or it will not even be a shame to give such a craft to relatives or friends. Next, we will look at several ways to create Christmas trees from paper.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (1 method)

You will need green paper, a ruler, a compass, glue, scissors and a pencil (or a tube for juices and cocktails).

Using a compass, draw several circles on paper. Each next circle is 1-2 cm smaller than the previous one. Choose the number and size of circles yourself, depending on the size of the Christmas tree you ultimately want to see in front of you.
Fold each circle in half once, a second time and a third time (that is, you need to fold each circle in half three times). To ensure that the fold lines are clear, we draw along the edges with scissors.
We straighten the circles. We cut a hole in the center of each that matches the diameter of a pencil or tube (depending on what we will use). It is also worth saying that the circles are the tiers of our future Christmas tree.
Cover a pencil or tube with green or brown paper.
Now we begin to assemble the Christmas tree. We string all tiers onto a pencil.
We decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a beautiful bead or star. You can decorate the Christmas tree with sparkles if desired.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (method 2)

You will need green paper, scissors, pencil, glue, compass, ruler, needle, wire.
On green paper, draw a circle with a compass, the size of the lower tier of the future Christmas tree. Next, draw another circle inside the first circle, retreating from the first one a little more than half the radius.

Using a ruler, divide the circle into 12 sectors.
Along the business lines, cut to the inner (second) circle.
We roll each sector into a cone, which we secure with glue.
We create the remaining blanks in a similar way, gradually reducing their size.
Using a needle, make a hole in the center of each piece.
We roll the bottom of the wire into a spiral.
We assemble all the tiers of our Christmas tree using wire. We attach a cone made of paper on top.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands using the quilling technique (3rd method)

You will need: green paper strips 5 mm wide and four 1 cm strips, red and yellow strips 3-5 mm wide, toothpicks, glue (instant and PVA).

We use four green strips with a length of 30, 20, 15 and 10 cm. Use a toothpick to twist them. Remove the part from the toothpick and let it unravel a little. The end of the strip is secured with PVA glue. We give all the spirals a drop shape by clamping and slightly pulling one of the ends of the spiral upward.
We tightly wrap wide green stripes around a toothpick and glue the tip to them, not allowing it to unravel. Our tree trunk will consist of this.
For the top of the tree we make a drop from a green strip 30 cm long.
We now begin to assemble the Christmas tree, securing its elements with instant glue. Glue the barrel parts together and give the glue time to dry.
We insert a toothpick inside the trunk and glue our droplets-twigs. We start gluing with the smallest ones, which we glue to the top of the tree.
We make toys from yellow and pink stripes by twisting the paper without using a toothpick. You can secure the ends until the paper unwinds, or you can make the toys a little looser and give them the shape of small droplets. Glue the balls to the branches you like.
We glue a drop at the very top (don’t forget about it), and a decoration on it.
You can make a stand if you wish. To do this, you will need to make nine curls from white paper strips. Glue the curls tightly together. Now we fix the Christmas tree on a snowy white stand with glue.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands (method 4)

You will need: green cardboard, glue, scissors, tape, colored paints, pencils, felt-tip pens. Stickers, glitter, etc. can be used as additional decorations.

1. Bend a sheet of cardboard in half and cut it along the fold line.

1. Fold the resulting parts in half again.
2. Draw half of the Christmas tree on one of the cardboard halves located opposite the fold (see picture).

1. Place the sheets together and cut with scissors along the drawn line. As a result, you will get two Christmas trees of similar size.
2. Mark the middle of each tree discreetly using a ruler.
3. Make a cut on one tree, starting from the top to the middle, and on the other, from the bottom (base) to the middle.

1. Insert the trees into the cuts so that you end up with one voluminous tree.
2. To give the Christmas tree more stability, use tape - use it to glue the lower and upper halves together.

To decorate the Christmas tree, use pencils, markers, glitter and other materials. You can use a hole punch to make small multi-colored circles, which you can then stick on the Christmas tree. You can tape a star to the top of your head.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (5th method)

You will need: colored cardboard, glue, scissors, a hole punch, a small stick with a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the holes that are obtained from the hole punch, decorations to taste.

Take a rectangular cardboard, fold it several times as shown in the picture above, and then pierce it in the center with a hole punch. Then this cardboard is cut out at an angle so that the craft ends up looking like a Christmas tree (see picture). We drag our stick into the hole, and if it doesn’t hold firmly, we can secure it with glue. We decorate the Christmas tree. Decorations can be attached with glue. Such a Christmas tree can be placed somewhere (if you make a base for it), or hang it somewhere.

How to make an origami Christmas tree (6th method)

The material for such a Christmas tree will be one large magazine or several small magazines. If the magazine has a hard cover, you can simply remove it.
For each page, do the following:

Starting at the top right corner, fold the page at a 45-degree angle.
Bend the sheet diagonally in half again.
The corner that extends below the borders of the magazine needs to be turned up.
We also do this procedure with the remaining pages and in the end we get a beautiful origami Christmas tree.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper using the origami technique (7 method)

First you will need to make triangular modules from which the Christmas tree will begin to fold. They are easy to make. You just need to know how to make them and be careful when creating them.

You will need:

- thick cardboard or fiberboard
- skewer
- PVA glue, superglue or hot glue
- colored cardboard (can be with patterns and ornaments)

1. Cut a rectangle from cardboard, which should be slightly larger than the base of the future Christmas tree.

2. Stick a skewer into the cardboard and secure it with glue.

3. Cut out several circles of different sizes and colors from colored cardboard, 3 circles in each group. Make a small hole in the center of each circle.

4. Add a drop of glue to each hole and begin threading circles onto the skewer, starting with the largest ones. The distance between circles can be up to 1 cm.

5. Cut out a star from cardboard and glue it to the top of the tree.

How to make a beautiful paper Christmas tree with roses for the New Year (11 methods)

You will need:

- old newspaper or unwanted book
- cone
- PVA glue
- scissors
- beads (optional)

1. Make a cone out of paper and make a lot of roses - several large ones for the base of the cone, medium ones for the central part, and small ones for the top part.

* If you purchased a foam cone, then you need to cover it with pieces of newspaper (see image).

To make roses (any color), follow these simple instructions:

Cut out squares of 10x10 centimeters from thick paper.
Draw spirals on the squares.
Cut a circular strip along the marked spirals.
Roll the paper spirals from the outer edge to the inner.
Wrap the pink bud tightly and secure the tip with glue.

2. Start gluing the paper roses to the cone, starting at the bottom of the cone and working towards the top.

3. If you wish, you can glue 1 bead into the center of the roses - this way you can decorate all the roses or just some.

4. You can add another decoration to the top of your head - it could be a piece of tinsel, a bell or a star.

*If you want to learn how to make a star, go to.

How to make a Christmas tree out of paper (method 12)

You will need:

— colored paper, colored cardboard, an old music book or an unnecessary book

- PVA glue

- curly scissors and simple scissors

- thick cardboard

- skewer

- glue brush (optional)

- decorations (sequins, bows, beads, buttons, stars).

1. Cut out a platform for the future Christmas tree from cardboard.

2. Insert the skewer into the cardboard platform and secure it with glue.

3. Start cutting out squares from paper. It will be more beautiful if you cut with curly scissors (they can be found in office supplies).

* You need to cut 9-10 squares - first 9 squares with a side of 20 cm, then 9 with a side of 18 cm and so on, reducing each group of squares by 2 cm.

*Choose the total number of squares yourself. You can also choose the size of the squares yourself - if your tree is tall, then you can reduce the size of the next group of squares by more than 2 cm, and if it is short, then less - 1-0.5 cm.

4. Cut out several small squares from cardboard that will be located between the squares of colored paper.

5. Start stringing 3-4 squares of colored paper, with a small cardboard square between them.

* If you use 3 squares between cardboard pieces, it is most convenient to cut out 9 squares of each size.

*You can attach the squares to a skewer using glue.

6. To decorate the Christmas tree, you can carefully apply a little glue to the ends of the squares with a brush, and then carefully sprinkle glitter on them.

7. On the top of your head you can glue a button with a bow or something else - a star or a bead, for example.

How to make an original Christmas tree from colored Japanese paper with your own hands (13th method)

You will need:

- colored cardboard

— thick paper with a pattern (can be replaced with colored cardboard)

- colored or wrapping paper (you can use a page from an old magazine)

- white sheet of A4 paper

- 2 skewers

- pencil and ruler

- PVA glue or glue stick

- scissors

- darning needle (if necessary).

1. Cut out 14 rectangles of 2 of the same size from colored cardboard. In this example, 2 rectangles have a size of 21 x 28 cm, two more have a size of 18 x 28 cm, then (also 2 each): 16 x 28 cm, 13.5 x 26 cm, 12 x 26 cm, 9 x 25 cm, and 6 x 22 cm.

2. Preparing the base for the Christmas tree:

Cut plain A4 paper into strips 2 cm wide. Twist the strip into a circle, add a little glue at the end and glue the next strip (see image). Repeat the same step until you have glued all the strips into one large circle with a diameter of 3.5 cm.

* The larger the circle, the more stable the tree will stand.

3. Take a large rectangle of colored cardboard and start folding it like an accordion, 1.5 cm wide. Cut the ends of the accordion into a rounded shape.

4. Fold the accordion in half and glue the sides together - you have a semicircle.

5. Repeat the same with the second rectangle, then glue two semicircles to form a circle - these will be the branches of the lower level of the tree.

* To secure the halves of one circle, you can thread a thin wire through them and twist its ends on the reverse side.

6. Create similar images for 6 more levels of your Christmas tree.

7. Take colored or wrapping paper and cut several small rectangles from it, about 2 cm wide, which you will later use to cover the skewers.

The skewers will play the role of the tree trunk.

8. Thread the skewers through one large circle. Since you need to leave gaps of about 2 cm between the circles, these gaps need to be hidden, so we will wrap them in small rectangles of colored paper.

9. After each circle, wrap the skewers in colored paper, 2 cm wide, and glue the ends together. Continue to repeat this step until all the tree branches are on the skewers.

10. All that remains is to insert the skewers into the round base (see point 2) and secure them with glue.

* You can decorate the top of the Christmas tree to your taste - a paper star, bead or button.

Now you know about many ways to create a Christmas tree from paper. Happy crafting!

The Christmas tree is the most important idea for creativity when preparing for the New Year. Stories revolve around her New Year cards, toys, home decorations. And it is not surprising that there are a huge number of ways to make a Christmas tree from such a simple material as paper. And each option is different from the other.

Some crafts are simple to make and even a child can make them, while others require a certain skill and perseverance. Some models of three-dimensional Christmas trees are not a shame to give as a gift; they look like works of art.

Selecting the required material

To make a paper Christmas tree with your own hands, a wide variety of paper and cardboard are used. In most cases, this is ordinary colored paper and cardboard, although Christmas trees made from corrugated paper also look interesting. In addition to colored paper and cardboard, the following are often required:

scissors;
ruler;
pencil;
glue;
stapler;
stationery knife;
wire.

For postcards: simple but original

First, let's look at Christmas trees that look great on cards or as New Year's toys on large forest beauties.

A simple version of the Christmas tree is made up of several squares of paper or cardboard rectangles of different sizes:

Cut out five squares from paper from largest to smallest. If you are making a Christmas tree from designer cardboard, cut out rectangles with an aspect ratio of 2:1 and immediately proceed to the third step.
Fold them in half.
Fold the top corners down towards the middle. So that the free edges are at the bottom.
Start gluing from the top.
The upper corner of each module should overlap the previous part.

A similar modular Christmas tree is made up of 5 origami modules. This model, made of designer cardboard, can be hung on a Christmas tree. Watch the step-by-step master class. Squares can be made of any size, but they do not have to be the same. For example, make the largest square with sides of 10 cm, and let the others differ from each other by one centimeter.

	Take a square sheet of designer cardboard.
	Fold it in half diagonally, then unfold it and connect the other two corners.
	On a sheet of cardboard you should get these fold lines.
	Now, along these fold lines, we place one of the edges of the cardboard pyramid inward.
	Then we put the opposite edge inside.
	We smooth the folds with our fingers.
	We got two free edges on both sides. Take the top layer by the corner and bend it towards the middle of the triangle.
	We do the same on the other side.
	The module can be glued to the postcard using double-sided tape.
	Subsequent modules are nested inside the previous ones in turn. The result is an original Christmas tree. Glue ribbon or string through the top of the tree to hang as an ornament.

We suggest you study step by step instructions for making a paper Christmas tree from loops. It is suitable for making cards, appliques or hanging decorations if you attach a loop to it. The only materials you need are a square sheet of green colored paper. Also, prepare a ruler, pencil, scissors and glue.

	Take a square sheet of paper. If you have an A4 sheet, fold it diagonally with the sides aligned and cut off the excess.
	We retreat one centimeter from the fold and draw a parallel line with a simple pencil.
	Set aside one centimeter along one of the cut lines.
	Then we draw parallel lines, connecting the points to a line parallel to the fold.
	We cut two sides at once along the lines, having first secured the sheet of paper with paper clips so that it does not move.
	Then we unfold the workpiece.
	Now the task is to glue all the strips to the middle. First we perform the operation on one side. Then on the other.
	Cut off the top at an angle.
	You can cut a star out of red paper onto the top and glue it with glue.

A Christmas tree made of paper tubes is suitable for decorating a postcard.

It is necessary to cut several strips of different lengths from colored paper, cardboard, leftover wrapping paper, and candy wrappers.
A round pencil will serve as a template.
Simply wrap a strip of paper around the pencil, placing it lengthwise.
Glue the tube along the cut.
Form a Christmas tree from the finished tubes.

The Christmas tree is placed not only on the outside of the card, but also on the inside. When the postcard is opened, it turns into a three-dimensional figure. And it's very easy to do. You need to fold several sheets of colored paper of different sizes like an accordion and glue them to opposite sides of the postcard.

Try folding a triangular piece of paper from the base to the top like an accordion.

Volumetric models: diagrams, instructions, master classes

Lightweight versions of voluminous Christmas trees can be made in half an hour with your child. Moreover, most of the time will be spent decorating it.

Cone based

The simplest option is a cone made of colored cardboard or a regular album sheet, wrapped in colored paper or corrugated paper. First, take a sheet, roll it into a cone, secure the edges with a stapler or glue. trim the cone so that it is stable.

If corrugated paper is planned on top, then it is best to place it on double-sided tape. Cut thin strips of tape and stick along the cone in several places. Wrap the cone in paper and tuck the excess edges inward.

You can decorate such Christmas trees with buttons, ribbons, bows, rhinestones, cut out pictures, in general, whatever your heart desires. The decorations are simply glued on with glue.

But this is a “smooth” Christmas tree, and there are also options with “needles”, also based on a cone. Corrugated paper “needles” may look like this:

Simply make fringe out of paper. After gluing the needles in a circle onto the cone, you get the following result:

The needles can be curled a little so that they do not fit too tightly to the base, but are fluffy; for this, use a pencil or scissors. The paper is rolled onto a pencil and the tip of the scissors is drawn along the fringe.

How do you like a New Year's tree, the needles of which are made from circles of green paper of different shades? It looks beautiful, but the work is painstaking and will take time.

There is another manufacturing option.

The base is a cone, which is pasted over in a spiral with a pigtail of crumpled paper. Glue is applied to the base. The tape overlaps slightly.

Christmas trees-vytynanka

Openwork volumetric Christmas trees made of paper using the vytynanka technique are original in themselves, and if they are also decorated with beads, then their charm will know no bounds.

In order to make such beauty, you will need a stationery knife or nail scissors (they are not very convenient to work with), but first of all you need a template. Pre-print the template or simply transfer the design you like onto paper from the monitor screen. It is best to cut out the pattern with a knife, placing a wooden board on it. The number of parts is at your discretion: from 2 pieces or more. The more details, the more magnificent the Christmas tree. When all the parts are cut out, put them together, sew them with a running stitch with a needle and thread along and bend them so that the sectors are evenly spaced.

We suggest choosing suitable templates:

We considered the case when the parts are glued together in the middle, but there are options when they are glued together at the edges. To do this, use 4 parts. When gluing, the edges should be clamped with paper clips so that the parts do not come unglued.

Origami

Previous options for making three-dimensional Christmas trees all involved cutting and gluing. But it can be made by folding. This method refers to the ancient Japanese art of origami. Watch how to make a figurine in the video.

Modular

Paper Christmas trees, which are assembled from modules, are common. For example, from circles of cardboard. You will need:

compass;
scissors;
wooden stick;
glue;
beads;
base.

Draw a circle on a piece of cardboard using a compass and cut it out. Fold four times. Cut the tip off the top. Then form an accordion along the folds. Then you should thread the parts onto a skewer. They start from the top, apply glue to the hole in the bottom part so that the part does not slide down the skewer. The base can be a spool of thread or a wine cork. The diagram is clearly shown in the photo.

The modules are also made using the quilling technique. For example, 9 tiers of 6 quilling droplets in each make a wonderful Christmas tree.

In addition to paper, you will need scissors, glue and a wooden skewer.

Cut narrow strips from a sheet of paper.
Roll up droplets and rings using the quilling technique.
Make a base around the skewer.
Place a ring on the skewer and secure with glue.
Then assemble a module of six drops, gluing them together, and put them on a skewer.
Then again comes the ring and a new module.
In this way, alternate all the way to the top.

Note! The modules must differ in size. Start with the largest in diameter and end with the smallest.

It’s quite difficult and time-consuming to make a Christmas tree that looks like this:

Video: making a corrugated tree

This is another stylized Christmas tree made of round elements. To make it, you will need several circles of paper of different diameters and a wire to which these circles will subsequently be attached. Divide the circle into 12 sectors with a pencil, cut them without reaching the middle and glue each petal.
