Forest Christmas tree made of colored paper and cardboard

New Year's beauty can be made in different ways. I propose to consider several of the most common options.

I suggest decorating a free wall in a kindergarten with a Christmas tree made of cardboard and paper. This New Year's decor is best done with a group of children. As you know, working together unites.

To create the next craft you will need cardboard, colored paper and all kinds of decorations. Even buttons will be used.

For this model, you will need not only cardboard and paper, but also a stand. It can be made from scrap materials: ice cream sticks, pencil, twig.

Kids will have great fun gluing colorful paper circles onto a cardboard cone. The adults' task is to help cut out a handful of even circles. The craft is simple, but very original.

This idea is for preschool and school age children. To create a fairy tree you will need 4 cardboard blanks.

Punch the edges of the workpiece with a hole punch to give it some openwork and glue the parts together.

Paint the Christmas tree white or green using a can of spray paint. Let it dry. Pull the harness through the holes.

If necessary, decorate the finished product with homemade Christmas tree decorations.

I suggest making a large Christmas tree out of boxes.

To make it sparkle with bright colors, cover the Christmas tree with corrugated paper, attach a star to the top of the head, and stick on paper balls and lanterns as decoration.

Serpentine, candies, beads, buttons, soft toys - everything can be used as decoration. Volumetric snowflakes are also perfect for decoration.

Throughout the holidays, your crafts will be a bright spot in any room, and children will look at their work of art with pride.

Christmas tree “No-No-No”

From green paper, make three identical blanks in the form of the inscription “Ho-Ho-Ho”, which converges towards the corner. Glue the edges together like a pyramid, and make the trunk from a thin paper strip rolled into a cylinder.

Step-by-step making of a New Year's tree from napkins

A bright, elegant, fluffy Christmas tree can be made from napkins of any color. But it’s better to think through the color scheme before work. You can make a craft from green napkins, and then decorate it with tinsel and toys. But there is an even more interesting option - a New Year's tree made from multi-colored napkins. For example, like in this photo.

Beautiful, is not it?

Let's get to work. In the usual way, roll a sheet of cardboard into a cone.

Take the first napkin and fold it in half. We will make one flower from one half, and another from the other half. We cut out circles of the same diameter from napkins, and fasten the circles in the center with a stapler.

Let's form a flower by squeezing each circle towards the center. Thus, it is necessary to make as many flowers as needed to cover the cone-shaped blank.

Using a glue gun, glue a bead to each flower for decoration.

We paste the prepared blanks over the cone row by row.

We decorate the top of the head with a bow.

The craft is ready! Make New Year's attributes from different materials. Any New Year's beauty can bring the holiday spirit into your home. And even more so a handmade craft.

Let's look at some more original New Year's works made from napkins.

Using the following diagrams you can fold a napkin on a festive table.

And looking at these works, you can create the most original Christmas tree from napkins.

Velvety Christmas tree - an unusual photo stand

Now let’s move on to more complex models that you can give to colleagues, family and friends, or simply treat yourself to an original decoration for your favorite holiday.

Each person has, perhaps, hundreds and thousands of photographs, but among them there will probably be that very favorite photo, which in itself creates a festive mood. Why not make a special stand for such a photo?

For production we will need:

  • green cardboard - 1 sheet;
  • a skein of thick green or blue-green thread;
  • white bouclé threads or cotton balls;
  • glue;
  • pencil;
  • scissors;
  • beads;
  • glue gun

To make a Christmas tree out of cardboard with your own hands, we will act in stages:

Step 1. First of all, fold a sheet of green cardboard in half with the wrong side out, and then draw half a Christmas tree on it. To do this, you can simply print the template or copy it from a sample.

Step 2. Cut out the workpiece along the contour (folded).

Step 3. Now let's take up the threads. They need to be folded in layers several times and cut into small pieces (1-2 cm each), placing them in a previously prepared container.

Step 4. Now comes a rather painstaking stage of work. Lubricate the surface of the Christmas tree (each branch separately) with a glue stick and glue the skeins onto it. It is better to do this in stages so that dust does not accumulate on the sheet.

Step 5. Only the top 3 sections need to be decorated in this way, since we will decorate the bottom one differently.

Step 6. Let our tree lie for a few minutes and the glue will dry a little. In the meantime, take a bouclé thread or simply roll up several small lumps of snow-white cotton wool.

Step 7. These lumps can be glued using a gun or glue stick. The work must be done carefully enough so that there are no glue stains left on the surface.

Step 8. Now you need to make tinsel for decoration. For this, weed thread or other similar material is used.

Step 9. Glue on tinsel and other decorations - you get this festive photo stand. The original New Year's gift is ready!

Christmas tree stencils for cutting and printing

Why do we need templates and stencils for cutting? Of course, to make the work easier, especially if you decide to make a craft in the vytynanka style. Here you can’t do without a ready-made template.

It’s not entirely clear how to make a three-dimensional Christmas tree using templates? See next photo.

How to decorate a Christmas tree for New Year 2021: beautiful ideas and methods

Volumetric Christmas tree for a New Year's card (step-by-step instructions)

You can make a cool New Year's card with a three-dimensional tree inside with your own hands. Experiment with the size, color and pattern of paper, and all kinds of decorations.

To make this craft you will need:

  • a sheet of thick double-sided paper for scrapbooking;
  • a sheet of colored paper from a school set;
  • scissors;
  • sequins;
  • shiny paper;
  • ruler;
  • glue.

Cut out an A4 size postcard base from scrapbooking paper.

Fold the resulting sheet in half. Use a ruler to smooth out the bend. The base for the postcard is ready. We move it to the side and start making the Christmas tree. Take a sheet of colored paper and fold it in half lengthwise.

Open the sheet and fold the bottom edge towards the middle.

And again we grab the bottom edge and turn it towards the middle.

On the other hand, we do the same thing, outlining the necessary lines. Let's start forming the accordion. It's easy to do. Colored paper is thin and can be easily bent.

We divide the intended fold in half again, turn the paper over here and there and bend it to form a small accordion.

Attach a ruler to the accordion and make marks with a pencil: 0, 7, 13, 18, 22, 25, 27, 28.5. You should get 7 lengths: 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.5 cm.

We unfold the blank for the postcard and begin gluing the accordions as follows. Apply glue to the side of the accordion and glue it so that it does not reach the bend of the card 2-3 mm.

We glue the next accordion 0.5 cm higher than the previous one and so on. We cut off several bends from the smallest accordion so that it is not so fluffy.

We also coat the second side of the accordion with a glue stick.

We close the postcard. Let's smooth it out. The Christmas tree is ready.

All that remains is to decorate the card. Let's make a star out of shiny paper. Glue the sequins.

Christmas tree using origami technique (simple diagram for children with description)

Many people have been able to fold various figures from a sheet of paper since childhood. Well, remember they made airplanes or boats, all this is a simple origami technique. And I simply cannot help but talk about the fact that you can make a Christmas tree using the origami technique.

In order to fold the Christmas tree, you need to find an old book without a thick cover or a notebook with writing on it. Found it? Now let's continue, we wrap all the pages from the left corner to the middle. And so on every one. Therefore, a book that is too thick will not work.

Then we bend all the pages into a bag again.


The lower ponytail will need to be trimmed using scissors. Try to do everything slowly and carefully.


The product is completely ready. All that remains is to straighten out all the pages and sprinkle them with glitter.

How about this idea? The Christmas tree is a little more complicated to make, but it turns out more beautiful. First, train on a white sheet, and then when you understand the whole process, you can do it on a green one.

The following beauty can be offered to children during a labor lesson in elementary school. All instructions are provided below.

Next there will be a complex instruction and it is called modular origami. To create a craft you need some basic knowledge of this technique. But if difficulties don’t scare you, you can try.

Paper Christmas tree on the wall (can be printed)

Paper cupcake liners can turn into a Christmas tree in just two minutes. Glue the molds to the wall in a certain order. You can use double-sided tape.

Don't have any cake pans on hand? No problem. There will definitely be colored wrapping paper.

Together with your children, you can make a wall decoration from palms.

Or from toilet paper rolls.

Use the stencil to create a large Christmas tree in sections.

Print out all 20 parts and assemble a tree on the wall. Now you can give children paints and pencils. Let them develop fine motor skills, and at the same time prepare for the New Year 2021.

You can make a Christmas tree in just a few minutes. We will act like this:

Step 1. First, fold a sheet of cardboard in the form of an accordion with a side of each fold of 1.5-2 cm.
