• We draw the outline of the Christmas tree of the required size on paper, cut out the template and apply it to the prepared felt, circle it.

• For one Christmas tree, you will need two parts, if you have planned to make several of them, then you need to make a calculation of the fabric consumption.
• So, we cut out two parts from felt, on one of them we draw a small mouth, slightly stretched in a joyful smile, and then we embroider it with a "needle forward" seam.

We connect both felt parts and sew with an overlock seam, choosing a thread of a contrasting bright color. Sew the herringbone around the entire perimeter, leaving a small hole for the "trunk"

Through the hole left, we fill the Christmas tree with padding polyester, giving it volume, insert a painted skewer, complete the overcasting seam

We glue the Christmas tree with black eyes made of black felt or other material, "blush" the cheeks and glue two bows on top, instead of a star

Cut out a small circle from cardboard, and from felt the same two parts, glue them on top and bottom of the cardboard circle. Glue the braid on the end side

In the middle of the circle we make a hole with nail scissors and insert a Christmas tree made by our own hands for the New Year

2. We decorate all the details with shiny elements, sew them on or stick them with an iron or glue.
3. We collect each Christmas tree separately, for which we sew the connecting seams with a golden thread with a decorative seam.
4. Cut out a rectangle from brown felt - the trunk of the Christmas tree, sew it from below to two decorated Christmas trees.
5. We also sew a double loop from the prepared lace in the upper part of the Christmas tree from the inside, we send one up for the suspension, and the other down for the bell.
6. We connect both Christmas trees, stitching along the contour with wide stitches from a thin braid, we do not press the parts together too tightly, leaving some volume between them.
7. We remove the ends of the ribbon inward, sew a bell to the lower loop, the Christmas tree, made step by step according to this description with the photo, is ready.

Volumetric herringbone

Prepare:

• felt green, 3 mm thick;
• felt of a different color;
• synthetic winterizer;
• pouring pistol;
• cardboard;
• Scotch;

On felt fabric, draw triangles with a pencil - the future branches of our decorative Christmas tree, then cut them out and leave them ready, proceed to the next row, a lot of such details will be needed

• Choose the size of the triangles by eye, it should be commensurate with the size of the cone.
• We also cut out a strip of small width from felt, glue it at the very bottom of the cone, if the length of one strip is not enough, join from several, close the entire bottom with a strip.

• Now we start decorating each triangle with fir branches, for which we make shallow cuts on both sides.
• We glue the prepared parts to the cone in layers, placing them in a checkerboard pattern, filling all the voids.

From felt of another bright color that we managed to purchase, we cut out two or three parts of the star, sew them and fill them with padding polyester or cotton wool, glue them to the top of our stylized Christmas tree, made according to this description from the video

Christmas trees made of paper and cardboard

The simplest versions of Christmas trees are made from paper, here the imagination is not limited by anything and you can create, as they say, from the heart. We make Christmas trees from a wide variety of paper for crafts, and it does not have to be exactly green options.

• We cut squares of different sizes in descending order, their size can be chosen by eye, the main thing is that each size should be made of 4 squares.

We start manufacturing with the largest size, which will go down the Christmas tree, fold it with an ordinary accordion, making clear creases. The width of the accordion also goes down the size of the workpiece, you can start with two centimeters

Having folded the accordion, cut off the corners on each side of the resulting strip, fold the assembled strip in half, connect the edges with a stapler

We make another such part, we connect both parts along the lower strip with a stapler, we get a circle, we fix its central part with a thread

• We make in the same way two circles of each size.
• We string all the prepared tiers of our decorative Christmas tree on a pointed stick or skewer.

We install the finished craft in any prepared pot or children's toy bucket, after filling it with cotton wool for greater stability of the Christmas tree

Cut out a long strip of small width from felt of a different color, size by eye. On one side of the strip, we make cuts along the entire length

We turn the strip into a roll, fix the end, help the resulting flower to "open up" with our fingers, then set it on the top of the paper tree.

Herringbone made of cardboard

Prepare:

• colored cardboard - 1 pc.;
• multi-colored double-sided paper in three bright colors;
• shiny paper;
• glue;
• scissors.

Manufacturing:

We make a cone from colored cardboard, cut off excess parts and glue the sides

We cut colored paper into strips of 1.5 cm * 6 cm, we need a lot of such parts, of each color in equal quantities

We fold each strip in half, but do not make the central hall, we connect and glue the ends, and in the same way we prepare all the details

We glue the finished parts to the cone in rows of the same color, placing them close to each other

• We fix the top row with a pre-cut small strip of paper.
• Cut out two small circles from shiny paper, connect them with glue, leaving a small distance free from glue, we insert the top of the cone there, the tree is ready.

• scissors.

Manufacturing:

1. We cut out a square from a sheet of colored paper, for which we wrap one side inward and connect it to the opposite side, cut off the excess.
2. We fold the square with a triangle twice in turn and fix the diagonal creases, then straighten it and fold it with a rectangle, also twice in turn, we get two more intermediate longitudinal creases.
3. We carefully iron all the creases, straighten and make two triangles, alternately bending the sides inward.
4. We bend each side of the double triangle to the center line.
5. We straighten each resulting small triangle and bend its central part inward, so we do this with each triangle in turn.
6. We straighten all the lower sharp corners and bend them inward.
7. We got an even triangle at the bottom with four folds on each side. We cut each side of the resulting triangle, consisting of 4 layers, to the middle, but not to the end. We make three such incisions along the entire length of the side of the triangle.
8. We fold back each fold in turn, slightly straighten it and wrap the triangular tops inward in each incision, iron all the creases with our hands again and straighten the resulting Christmas tree.

Christmas tree made of threads: top of the best master classes

• needles with round ears;
• needles with beads;

Manufacturing:

1. If we managed to purchase a foam plastic frame for our Christmas tree, then we immediately start making it. Otherwise, we cut out the Christmas tree from thick cardboard.
2. Having fastened one end of the yarn, we wrap the whole herringbone diagonally, making a movement with the hand with the yarn in one direction. While working with it, the thread should always be in a taut state as often as possible, the threads should be fixed on the Christmas tree using needles with ears.
3. Having wrapped the whole Christmas tree in one direction and carefully fastening all the threads, unfold the base and wind it obliquely in the other direction, also fixing everything well.
4. We fix the end of the thread, carefully comb out the Christmas tree, preferably with a special brush for terry yarn. When the thread will not be visible at all, and the Christmas tree made of threads becomes fluffy, we install it on any stand prepared in advance.
5. We decorate the Christmas tree with elements of New Year's decor simply by attaching them with needles and beads, this is done very easily, without the use of glue.
