This small Christmas made of organza and hot glue will perfectly decorate your interior. It's lightweight and durable, so you don't have to worry about dropping it. You can insert a Christmas garland inside.
Total Time: 1 Hour
Supplies:
- Green organza ribbon, about 3 inch wide
- Threads the same color as the organza ribbon
- Needle
- Scissors
- Hot glue and hot glue gun
- Cardboard, I used cardboard from a box of chocolates
- Duct tape
- Compass
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Baking paper
- Beads
Steps:
- Draw a circle and it's radius on the cardboard (the height of the finished Christmas tree will be slightly larger than the radius).
- Cut out the circle and the radius. Roll the cone to the desired width. Mark the joint. I took a sector with 125 degrees (radius 13 cm). Cut out this sector.
- Tape the outside surface of the cone with duct tape. Roll up the cone and fix it using duct tape.
- Cut a circle slightly smaller than the circle at the base of the cone out of 3-layer cardboard. Paste this circle inside the cone and glue with hot glue. This circle will help the cone keep its shape.
- Sew the edges of the organza, pulling together a little fabric to form a frill.
- Wrap the cone in baking paper.
- Apply 8 strips of hot glue along the sides of the cone (see photo).
- Glue the organza frills in a spiral: first apply a small strip of glue, then quickly add the frills (press a bit).
- Remove the cone. Gently remove the baking paper.
- Decorate the finished Christmas tree with beads.
