In many floristic compositions you can see various natural materials, starting from sisal and ending with cones. Today's master class is not entirely floristic, rather decorating, so we suggest you feel like designers for a while and make an interesting Christmas tree out of twine with your own hands. Master class with step by step photo attached, and for decoration we will use natural materials - cones and orange slices. For them, they will just be very suitable. If you have small children, then you can make such a Christmas tree with your own hands all together, because working in a company is much more interesting.

We will need:

1. base paper (I used whatman paper);
2. Linen twine;
3. Dried orange slices;
4. Glue.

And now let's get started and see how to make a Christmas tree out of twine with your own hands:

From paper, cut out a cone of the desired size. For clarity, I first made a stencil from a newspaper, and then I cut it out of whatman paper.

We fold the paper cone and glue the edge.

Now we carefully wrap the finished paper base row by row with linen twine. I acted like this: I covered small areas with glue, and then wrapped the cone with a rope. I think you can use double sided tape instead of glue.

We glue the last row with special care. Half of the work is done - the basis for our Christmas tree is ready.

We go directly to creativity - decorate decorative elements. We come up with a composition and begin to bring it to life.

I decided to arrange the decor diagonally, glued the bump and started to build a line of oranges.

Step by step, carefully glue orange circles to the base and Pine cones. A small nuance: disassemble the circles in size and stir the larger ones from below, and moving up - smaller and smaller ones.

"Christmas Tree"

Music by V. Varlamov, lyrics by R. Panina.

Silver light streams through the window,
This night is not easy.
Let it be outside the window, let it be outside the window
Fairytale snow sparkles.
Brighter than all the stars in the world.
Become brighter than ever
And the children will smile.

The Christmas forest became fabulous,
The story is all around
The song of love pours from heaven
There is no life without miracles.
In the morning a star will flash in the sky
Brighter than all the stars in the world.
And never and never
Children will not cry.

Merry Christmas everyone! Guardian angel for you!
