From design paper, cut out the details of three types. The first two will become the outfit of an angel, the rest - wings. Glue tape to the ends of each. Gather the cutouts as shown in the photo. Connect the details of the wings to make a large bow. Cut out the head of an angel from plain paper (a circle with a diameter of 1.5 cm), from shiny paper - a halo (diameter - about 2 cm). Glue them together. You can draw the angel's eyes and rosy cheeks. Attach a loop of thread to the back of your head. Gather the details together.

Decorate the place where the loop is attached with a ribbon bow, use decor if desired. Pull the rest of the ribbon through the hole in the top of the toy and hang it on the Christmas tree.

Pine cones are great for making decorative Christmas garlands. The main thing is to prepare more of this in advance. natural material walking through the nearest forest park. If pines do not grow in your places, do not despair, because for lovers of creativity these days, cones are harvested almost on an industrial scale, so before the New Year you will definitely find packages with them on store shelves. In addition, you will need the following items:

• actually, pine cones;
• a skein of strong twine;
• several sheets of gold foil;
• glue;
• brush;
• hooks;
• pliers.

After you have bought and prepared everything the right materials and tools, proceed with the following steps:

Step 1. We fasten the loops. On the top of each cone, mark the place where the hook will be screwed. Secure it with pliers and screw it into the bump.

Step 2 We decorate cones. Go over the tips of the bud scales with a brush filled with glue, then wrap it in gold foil and rub the area where the glue was applied. A thin layer of gold will cover the buds, giving them a glamorous look and sparkle. You can do it easier - sprinkle the bumps with a small layer of gold spray paint or make strokes with gold acrylic. It all depends on what material you have at hand.

Step 3 We string a garland. String cones on twine. So that they do not move out to one place, do not forget to tie a small knot of twine on each of the loops, which serves as the basis of the garland. Your decoration is ready!

8: Cone hedgehogs

Cute hedgehogs made of cones are simple craft, which even the smallest children can do, so feel free to sit down to make New Year's gifts for grandparents or prepare an exhibit for the school fair. In order to make cute little animals, you will need:

• Pine cones;
• plasticine black and beige;
• tassel;
• modeling stick or toothpick;
• old blush.

The process of making an animal consists of the following steps:

Step 1. First, check how well your buds have opened. If the bump is still dense, with unopened scales, place it for a couple of days in a warm place near the battery to make the animals prickly.

Step 2 Roll out a piece of beige plasticine and make a cone. Glue it to the top of the cone and mold the muzzle to the hedgehog. Roll up two small balls, flatten a little and stick the ears. Make two sausages - a larger pair and a smaller pair to glue the front and hind legs to the hedgehog's body. Using a modeling stick or a toothpick, draw fingers on the hedgehog, and a smile on the muzzle. Three balls of black plasticine will become the eyes and nose of the animal.

Step 3 Put some blush on the brush and make the hedgehog ruddy cheeks, so the little animal looks even cuter. The craft can be installed on a piece of cardboard decorated with artificial moss and dried autumn leaves. For additional decor, you can use red beads that look like wild berries, or decorate the hedgehog with an apple made of green or red plasticine.

9: Christmas tree from a cone

The cones are so similar to small Christmas trees that it will not be difficult for you to make a whole forest of green beauties for the holiday. Decorating them with beads, rhinestones and artificial snow, you can literally fill the house with New Year's mood in just a few minutes. To make this craft you will need:

• wine corks;
• cones;
• green and white gouache;
• glue gun;
• beads;
• rhinestones;
• chain fragments;
• buttons or other accessories;
• satin ribbons;
• brushes;
• balloon of artificial snow;
• sheet of thin foam;
• nail polish with large glitter.

Make a spruce forest, following these recommendations:

Step 1. Cut wine corks into circles 1.5-2 centimeters thick. Subsequently, they will become the trunks of Christmas trees. It is not worth making a cork stand above - the trees can turn out to be unstable.

Step 2 Paint the cones with green gouache. If you have a can of green paint lying around at home, you can speed up the process by simply spraying paint on the bumps.

Step 3 Use a glue gun to attach the Christmas trees to the cork trunks.

Step 4 Consider decor options. Part of the Christmas trees can be made snowy by applying a layer of white gouache or artificial snow from a spray can to the tips of the scales. Prepare star-shaped tops for them. To do this, you need to make a cardboard star template, and then cut out the required number of figures from thin foam. Cover the stars with a layer of polish with glitter particles. After drying, the tops are glued to the top of the Christmas trees. The remaining Christmas trees can be decorated with beads, buttons or rhinestones by gluing them to the scales with a glue gun. For additional decor, use old bracelets, scraps of chains and other jewelry you don’t need. Christmas trees can be placed both individually and installed on a large sheet of cardboard, sprinkling it with small foam chips and artificial snow. Around cork trunks, you can wrap a little cotton wool, simulating snowdrifts.

• Cardboard
• Paper for wrapping gifts
• Scotch
• Double sided tape
• Scissors
• Ribbons
• beads
• PVA glue
• sequins

Step 1. We take cardboard, if it is small in size, and you want a large Christmas tree, fold 4 sheets and connect them with tape.

Step 2 We twist the resulting sheet diagonally into a cone.

Step 3 We fix the resulting cone with tape. How many cones should be - you decide. You can make a whole forest of fun unique Christmas trees of different sizes.

Step 4 We level the bottom of future Christmas trees with scissors.

Step 5 We take gift paper and align it on some hard surface.

Step 6 Using tape, attach the paper to the top of the cone.

Step 7 We begin to wrap the cone with paper diagonally. The paper should lie very tightly on the cone.

Step 8 We attach double-sided tape to the edges of the paper, cut off all the excess and carefully fix it.

Step 9. We cut out stars from cardboard by the number twice as many resulting Christmas trees. First, we glue two stars together, but only at the edges, so that later we can put the star on the cone. After we coat with PVA on both sides and lower them into golden (as in our case) or any other sparkles.

Step 10 We decorate Christmas trees at our discretion: with ribbons, beads, or just plant stars. Our funny Christmas trees ready. By the way, variations of such trees can be different. You can glue them instead of paper with a cloth. And as decorations, use fringe, sequins, buttons, butterflies, dragonflies and everything that comes to hand.

11: Christmas tree light

Very beautiful and original Christmas tree, which will become a real festive addition and decoration of the New Year's interior.

• Cardboard
• Glue (can be PVA or any other)
• Floral wire
• Cellophane film
• LED garland
• Pins
• Decorations (optional)
• Scotch
• tassel

Step 1. We twist the cardboard into a cone, fix it with tape and wrap the cone tightly with plastic wrap.

Step 2 We take a container and mix PVA glue in it with a little water.

Step 3 We cut the mesh into not very wide strips, immerse it in a container with glue and diagonally in different directions glue the strips onto a cone.

Step 4 We fasten the ends of the strips with pins and once again coat all the joints with one layer of glue with a brush.

Step 5 We are waiting for the mesh to dry. We take off the pins. And according to the previous example, we make another layer of the grid. Leave to dry completely, remove the pins again and remove the dried mesh from the cone. It is not difficult to separate it from the cellophane film.

Step 6 We fasten the garland inside our Christmas tree with the help of wires.

Step 7 We turn on the fantasy and attach the conceived decorations to the Christmas tree. For example, it can be beads glued with a glue gun. Or you can just dress the Christmas tree in beads.
