Detailed description with photo
We offer you four options for making a volumetric Christmas tree out of paper with your own hands, but if you still don't have enough of them, you can experiment with the size of the trees or create your own template. The possibilities here are endless!
Option 1. Christmas trees with stars
The first option includes a large number of trees, so we suggest starting with that.
Initially, print the templates below on A4 paper.
Template 1
Template 2
The first option assumes that you simply cut the trees along the contour, and then cut indentations in them along the drawn lines.
Then you need to bend these strips in opposite directions through one. Thus, you have a ready-made volumetric Christmas tree made of paper in your hands!
For the second option, cut the trees along the outline as well. There are no drawn lines inside, which gives you the opportunity to experiment!
You can cut arbitrary lines at the top here, and put stars below using a curly stapler. Or cut out thick lines, and put stars between them, or cut out curved lines, or…. In general, fantasy itself will tell you, and below in the photo you can see what happened with us!
Option 2. Herringbone with a deer
If you want to move on to more complex compositions, try carving a Christmas tree with a fawn, the template for which is provided below!
Template 3
To make this Christmas tree, first cut out the fawn, then fold the Christmas tree paper in the middle and cut it out. After that, fold the paper for the small tree from the right edge and also cut it along the outline.
If desired, glue decorative stars and snowflakes on the tree, decorate with glitter, etc.
Option 3. Glowing volumetric tree
Print the template below on standard A4 paper.
Template 4
- Cut out the stars and use them as a template for the stars.
- Get your little one to cut the Christmas tree. Have him carve out a tree along the contour and inner lines. Depending on your age, you may need a little help.
- Make sure all lines are cut inside.
- With the help of green or any other paint of your choice, paint the craft in 2 layers. Let it dry well both times between stains.
- Fold the paper strips inside the wood in opposite directions to create a 3D look.
Stars: In this workshop, we used glow-in-the-dark spray paint from our local craft store to create a 3D paper tree with a glowing effect. We just sprayed paint on paper and cut stars out of it.
Alternatively, you can buy ready-made paper that glows in the dark and cut stars out of it.
Glue the stars onto your tree.
A do-it-yourself volumetric paper tree is ready! We hope you enjoyed our step by step master class with templates.
Subsequently, you can use this craft as a small night light, but be prepared for the fact that it will serve you for a very short time!
And as a small surprise, we are attaching an interesting video to the master class, in which a professional decorator will tell you how to make a slightly different, but no less beautiful version of a voluminous paper tree with your own hands.
The family holiday New Year is approaching - the time to receive and give gifts, joy, care, good mood. This event brings families closer together, brings peace and comfort to their homes. The attributes of the New Year are multifaceted. Perhaps one of the main symbols of the holiday is a fluffy beauty and a gift keeper - a Christmas tree. Especially valuable is a spruce-craft made by a child's hands. I suggest you spend productive time with your child and "create" together an original paper Christmas tree for the upcoming New Year.
Christmas tree made of scrap paper
Such a Christmas tree can be made together with preschool children, and younger students can be entrusted with independent creation. It is even better if children of different ages take on the manufacture of this jewelry. Co-creation develops thinking and creativity, as well as strengthens relationships.
For work we need:
- scrap paper of green shades - with large and small ornaments in six colors;
- scissors for paper,
- glue,
- double sided tape,
- stapler,
- two sticks for sushi,
- decoration for the top of the Christmas tree.
First you need to prepare paper. Disassemble the colors, alternate large drawing with small ones, bright tones with dull ones. For the "interlayers" we take a neutral color (we have it on blue paper).
For the first layer, we take a full sheet of paper, for the second, we cut off a couple of centimeters from the side, for the third - another couple of centimeters, and so on.
We fold our blanks with an accordion, find the middle and also fold. Cut out four stripes about 3.5 cm wide from blue paper.
Now we fix the edges of the accordions, opening our "fans" in a full circle. We fasten with a stapler or glue, but be sure to leave holes in the middle for putting on sticks.
We twist the strips into tubes, but do not glue them together.
Now we start assembling. Lubricate the middle of the largest (bottom) layer and glue the bases of the sticks. At the very "root" we wrap the "trunk" with tape once, and on top - one of the blue tubes. Glue the edge.
We repeat the same with the rest of the layers - we plant a corrugated circle, fix it with tape and a tube. After the last, topmost layer, the tube is not needed, you just need to decorate it with a snowflake made of foil, a decorative paper clip (like ours), or mold a star from sculptural plasticine and paint it with shiny paint. The Christmas tree will look even more festive if you spray it with a special shiny hairspray.
Such a Christmas tree can be used to decorate a window sill at home, a shelf in a library, or you can take it to a kindergarten for a festive exhibition.
Elegant Christmas tree made of paper by the hands of a child
You will need:
- whatman;
- white sheets of paper A-4;
- double-sided colored paper (2-3 colors);
- mother-of-pearl beads;
- green rain;
- pVA glue;
- stapler;
- pin;
- scissors.
Completing of the work:
1. You need to decide on the height of your future product and cut a rectangle out of whatman paper of the appropriate size. I was A-4.
2. Fold the resulting sheet in half and draw half a drop, so that, as a result, a cone (without a bottom) can be made from the cut out blank by twisting the paper like a homemade cup for seeds and gluing the edges with glue.
3. The cone must be "turned" into a pyramid by pressing it to the surface, then again perpendicularly to get 4 sides of the figure.
4. Cut off the "antennae" from the rain - the more, the fluffier and brighter your tree will be.
5. From white sheets A-4 we make an "accordion" (you need one for each wall). Position the paper horizontally with the longer side.
6. Glue the accordions to the sides of the pyramid, applying glue only to the outer sections of the paper.
7. The result is a figure that is not at all like a Christmas tree - it is too voluminous and not assembled. For the result, you need to beautifully distribute the accordions and fix the paper with glue at the top of the cone, pressing it with a clothespin for a couple of minutes.
8. It's the rain's turn - brush the blank with a brush with glue and sprinkle on top with plenty of "needles". If necessary, repeat again over the already attached tendrils for density.
9. You can decorate the finished tree in different ways. In the presented version, double-sided colored paper of pink and yellow color was cut into squares, then it had to be shaken, a pearl was attached inside and such an ornament was glued to the Christmas tree. They did the same with candy wrappers, only without beads. It turned out unusual.
My assistant was a 4-year-old son - the child really liked it, he got carried away and even made a sled for Santa Claus at the end according to his own project.
In every house for the New Year, people decorate spruce and pine trees. You will not surprise anyone with a living tree or plastic, but you can supplement the interior with an original analogue made from scrap materials with your own hands, and especially valuable - with the hands of a child.
Preparing for the New Year is the most fabulous time for children and adults. Create an atmosphere of a fairy tale, decorate a house, write a letter to Santa Claus, and, of course, spend time with children. Prepare crafts for a gift to grandparents, relatives, decorate the parents' office table.
Christmas tree made of green corrugated paper
Such a Christmas tree will be a good decoration, create a festive mood. Materials that will be required for work:
- cardboard,
- green corrugated paper,
- glue stick or PVA,
- scissors,
- pencil,
- compass,
- hot glue,
- beads,
- sequins,
- polish for hair,
- a large brush for painting.
The basis will be cardboard, its color does not matter. Using a compass, draw a circle, the height of the Christmas tree will depend on its size.
Expand the corrugated paper, cut out a piece corresponding to the size of the cardboard circle, apply glue to the base and glue the green layer.
Now you need to make the future needles of the forest beauty. Cut the paper into strips from 1 cm wide, roll them up, cut. Grease the edge of the paper with glue so that the scroll does not unfold. For convenience, you should use a pencil, wrap a cut strip of paper 2-3 times around the rod, this will be enough.
The width of the needles (strips) should increase downward from the cone so that the craft looks harmonious. For the bottom row of needles, you need to make wider strips so that the needles are larger. You can use several shades of green, alternating light with dark.
Grease the base of each scroll with glue, press it well against the cardboard. Allow time to dry. Then - straighten the paper strips. It remains to decorate the tree, give it a festive look.
Warm up the heat gun, insert a stick of glue. Apply 1 small drop of glue to the side of the bead and glue. Spread the decoration evenly throughout the tree.
Sprinkle the tree with hairspray. Dip a brush for painting in glitter and apply them to the craft. Then use hairspray again. This will fix the shine.
Beautiful origami christmas tree made of paper
This workshop will show you how to make a paper Christmas tree using the origami technique. A simple scheme and an elegant tree will appeal to all lovers of clear lines and symmetry.
To work, you will need very few materials and tools:
- colored paper;
- scissors;
- ruler and pencil.
We measure the workpieces.
Cut out squares from colored paper. 2 squares of green and light green colored paper with a side equal to 19.5 cm.The remaining five squares are cut out of green paper with sides of 17.0 cm, 14.5 cm, 12.0 cm, 9.5 cm and 7.0 cm, respectively ... If there is a desire to make the Christmas tree large and there is a larger colored paper, then you can independently set the size of the squares, simply reducing the length of the side by 2.5 cm.
We fold the blanks of the Christmas tree.
Fold the green square diagonally.
Without turning the sheet over, bend the corners of the square to the center.
Turning the square over, fold it in half twice.
Turning the sheet over again, fold it out of it and fold it into a smaller square base. This square is the basis of many origami products.
Having expanded the sheet, fold each side of the square to the middle of the square and bend only the fourth part of the line on the right side as shown in the photo.
We fold the base square. We lay the corners marked with a cross inside the resulting trapezoid.
We make a tree trunk.
From a large square of light green color, add a square base in the same way. To make the trunk narrower, we additionally bend the sides of the base square to the diagonal in one direction.
Having expanded the square completely, fold each side of the square to the middle from the middle of the square and bend the eighth part of the line on the right side as shown in the photo.
We fold the base square again and bend the sides to the diagonal. We lay the corners inward to make a trapezoid.
The result is a trunk and six tree crown parts.
We collect the tree from the details.
Insert the tree trunk into the largest green detail.
Similarly, like a pyramid, we collect the entire tree.
So the green paper tree is ready. It can be decorated and presented for the New Year, made two-color or multi-colored, or artificial snow glued to the branches-shelves. By increasing the size and number of blanks for crown details, you can make Christmas trees of different heights.
Christmas tree with a surprise made of paper and cardboard
The New Year's mood spreads around the world, capturing large city squares and small children's crafts. A beautiful Christmas tree made of colored paper will help to present a pleasant surprise to friends, parents and neighbors. In honor of the festive mood, the evergreen beauty is ready to change her usual colors to any other fun and fantasy shades.
Necessary materials:
- Thick paper in two contrasting colors;
- A piece of cardboard for a template;
- Scissors;
- Hole puncher;
- Double-sided tape;
- Pencil and ruler;
- Attention and desire to make a surprise.
For growing paper spruce, we choose bright and beautiful shades. We will make a base from one color of paper, and the second will serve as an additional lace decoration.
The miniature craft should have neat and clear lines. Therefore, we begin by making a template. Using a ruler and a pencil, draw an isosceles triangle on cardboard. The size of the blank depends on the parameters of the intended gift.
On the basis of this template, we construct an inner part for the Christmas tree, which consists of two triangles connected by a transition 2-3 cm wide. Cut out an integral symmetrical figure.
Cut the additional Christmas tree robe by 0.5 cm at the top and bottom to reveal the color of the paper of the main sheet. Then carefully cut out a pair of spruce paws on each side with scissors. The branches can be located at different heights. Small deviations from strict symmetry will add visual mischief to the Christmas tree. And a few clicks of the hole punch will give our Christmas tree stylized Christmas balls.
We fix the additional paper layer on the main one with double-sided tape. Cut off two oblong strips for gluing an additional layer with the main one and one small piece for connecting the tops. If there is no suitable adhesive tape at hand, then you can connect the parts with glue or a stapler.
Everything is ready, it remains to add a present: a sweet surprise or a New Year's wish, or maybe something else. Beautiful multi-colored Christmas trees on New Year's Eve can be placed throughout the house so that everyone can accidentally stumble upon an original little gift.

What can you make a cone for a Christmas tree: 2 manufacturing options
To make a cone for a Christmas tree without a bottom, you need to take a sheet of thick cardboard, it will better withstand the weight of the decor. In addition, we will need scissors, tape or glue, a pencil, and a round object, such as a plate.

Another faster way to make a cone. To do this, roll the cardboard into a bag, glue the edges and cut off the excess with scissors.
Bottom making
To do this, you need to put the cone on a piece of cardboard and circle the bottom with a pencil. Then draw another circle 2 cm larger and cut it out. For accuracy of calculations, make a fitting. Cut strips in 0.5 cm increments from the outer circle to the inner one, bend them and grease with glue. Then insert the bottom blank into the base of the cone.
Decorating a Christmas tree cone with corrugated paper roses and paper braids

Vytynanki have recently been gaining popularity in interior decoration. They are used to make decorations for windows, garlands, and we propose to make an unusual Christmas tree from delicate patterns.
Patterns for making a Christmas tree out of paper
For work, we need nail scissors and a clerical knife, but first we need to choose a template for cutting a Christmas tree out of paper, which will serve as the basis for our master class. You can print any pattern or just draw it on the sheet. To cut the diagram well, you need a solid base, and a wooden board will do. The number of patterns depends on the height of the product, preferably at least three.
Christmas tree assembly sequence
After all the templates have been cut out, they need to be bent along the center line and glued together. Parts are not always glued in the center; you can choose a scheme in which the blanks are fastened along the edges.
Modular trees on a rod
The peculiarity of such trees is that for them a set of modules must first be made, which are then fixed to the rod in a certain sequence. This is a great decoration for a desktop, fireplace portal or window sill.
New Year's paper crafts using the quilling technique: a pendant tree and a tree on a rod

- cardboard painted with gold paint;
- round and triangular patterns;
- beads;

All patterns in the quilling technique are performed in the same way. You can prepare parts in the form of droplets of different sizes and make a hexagonal Christmas tree with your own hands. They are glued to a rod or simply strung onto it through free holes.
How to make a Christmas tree from paper circles
Colored paper is used to make a multi-tiered Christmas tree. Cut several circles of the same size, fold 4 times each and cut off the top. Then it is necessary to form folds in the form of an accordion. Then string all the parts onto the rod. A coil or plug can be used as a base.
The technique of making a fan for decorating a Christmas tree
To make this tree, be sure to involve a child. At first glance, the work does not cause complexity, but perseverance and patience are important here. First, you should prepare several circles in the form of a fan, which are then strung on a thin rod. You can simply glue each circle to the previous one without a rod, the structure will still turn out to be strong.
To make a Christmas tree, all work is performed as follows.
- Cut a long strip of paper, newspaper or magazine, fold it into an accordion, cut the corners and middle.
- Roll up in the form of a ring, glue the ends, pull the thread with a needle through the middle.
- Gently pulling the thread, lay the workpiece in a flat circle. To get convex edges, put a small object in the middle, it can be a spool of thread.
Each tier should be slightly smaller than the previous one, for this it is necessary to make the strips narrower.
Christmas trees from cardboard rolls from toilet paper
In the manufacture of this New Year's tree, only one difficulty can arise - to find the required number of toilet paper rolls. If this question does not bother you, all cylinders should first be painted with green paint and installed in the shape of a tree. You can fix them with double-sided tape or a glue gun. Additionally, you can put a Christmas tree decoration in every detail and decorate the finished product with tinsel and a garland.

We continue to decorate our home for the winter holiday. We have already made different ones, hung them on the windows and walls. Now we want to make the holiday symbolic. And this, of course, is the main princess of the celebration - the tree. I know that many people feel sorry for trees and replace them with artificial counterparts. But sometimes you just want to make something with your own hands in order to get satisfaction from the action and an accent in the decor.
All craft ideas are easy to do with the kids. To make it easier to get the job done, make the base blanks in advance. And try not to skimp on the decor. Buy a lot of different beads, ribbons, ribbons, beautiful buttons. Collect small toys from kinders and decorate with them. And they will go to work and will not wallow.
You can create beauty from everything that is at hand. The main thing is to apply a share of imagination and all your accuracy to this. With modern devices, such as a glue gun, you can give the product original shapes and fix different textures and materials.
I know that wine bottle corks and ice cream sticks are also used. Well, we didn't have any traffic jams at home, and the sticks have long gone for different needs, so let's move on to the materials that any housewife will definitely have - pasta and yarn.
Let's start with pasta. I know that various snowflakes are made of them. It turns out that they are also suitable for a Christmas tree.
We need:
- A pack of pasta (preferably feathers)
- Glue gun
- Sheet of cardboard
- Paint
- Decor
Better to prefer the "feathers" or "spiral" shape. Choose a good manufacturer so that all things are even and the same length.
First of all, we glue a cone out of cardboard. I do this by simply rolling the sheet around my arm. To prevent the workpiece from falling apart, we fasten it with a stapler.
And now we cut the base so that the tree stands straight and not crooked.
We always start from the bottom. Put the first two rows, ie. glue so that they lie on the surface, so the product will be more stable.
And the next rows need to be lifted exactly by the previous ones by an amount equal to half of the "spiral".
When you finish the top, we begin to paint the entire craft.
You can take green, or you can buy golden or silver paint in a spray can. Only then should it not be sprayed at home.
I really like the result. It does not take much time, but it looks very elegant.
Now it's the turn of the yarn and cord.
To make a Christmas tree out of yarn, you need to wind the thread exactly over each other on a paper cone. Periodically bonding it with hot glue to the base.
Decorate with decor.
This product is made even faster than pasta.
You can decorate them with buttons.
We need:
- Wire
- Decor
First, we select the wire. It should be tough and not thin. From it we roll up a cone-shaped spiral. We check for stability. The bottom can be wrapped twice.
We begin to string the cord onto the wire.
Drying and decorating.
The glue will give the structure additional strength and will not allow the cord to slide down the frame.
Volumetric tree made of paper
Paper is always the first thing the word "craft" is associated with. And from it you can create not one Christmas tree, but a whole fir forest, in which not a single tree will be repeated!
Let's say we want a paper tree to delight us on the kitchen table. Then you need to make it fluffy and voluminous. And also as stable as possible.
So, I have selected several detailed master classes with a clear description of the process.
Option 1
We will need:
- Cardboard cone
- Green paper in different shades.
Cut out many circles of the same size from paper.
And we begin to glue their edges to the cone, observing the rows.
The first layer always goes at the base.
Such a craft is available in terms of difficulty, even for a two-year-old child. And it looks quite rich because of the different shades of the same color.
Option 2. Terry conical herringbone
Cut out 4 semicircles. Each of them is 2 centimeters smaller than the previous one.
We glue the blanks into a cone and slightly cut the edges around the perimeter to get volume. Bend the terry edges a little.
Now glue a smaller cone onto the largest workpiece. And so in the direction of decrease.
That's the whole simple process.
Option 3. Let's make a spruce from paper circles
Cut out 4 circles. Each of them is 1 centimeter smaller than the previous one.
Then we fold each circle 3-4 times in half.
We also make a base from paper. You can wrap a pencil or a barbecue stick in green paper.
We string round blanks on the barrel in decreasing order of size.
To give stability, you can put the barrel in plasticine, wax or wine cork.
Option 4
Mark 15 circles, each time decreasing the diameter by 1 centimeter. Then we divide each circle into 12 equal parts, drawing lines through the center.
Mark half the radius from the center and draw a circle. Now we cut the lines clearly to the drawn circle.
Glue the tips on each petal.
When you have completed all the levels, start collecting the Christmas tree from the widest row to the smallest.
As you have ideas, I think you will find ideas for yourself.
Craft from cotton pads for the new year in kindergarten
The child was stunned by the task that tomorrow you need to bring the craft to kindergarten? And outside the window, of course, it's already night. Then you can use the packing of cotton pads. In most families, they are actively used.
We need:
- Packing cotton pads
- Cardboard for cone base
- PVA glue
- Decor
We fold the cardboard frame, connect the edges with a stapler.
Take a cotton pad and fold it in half.
Then we put two ends of a cotton semicircle on harmless PVA glue.
And we glue the workpiece to the base, having previously smeared its fold with the same PVA glue.
So we do row by row. It is better to glue cotton pads closer to each other so that there is a minimum of gaps.
It remains only to decorate the delicate beauty!
Children in kindergarten will definitely like your product, and they will not be ashamed in front of other parents.
DIY craft from napkins
Another very affordable material is napkins. You can use the most inexpensive and plain colors.
Take white, red, blue and green festive shades.
We fold the napkin several times to get the shape of a square, then cut the folds and crosswise fasten the middle with a stapler.
Now bend each layer to form a pompom.
On the frame, lay out the first row with these balls. Then we glue balls and other Christmas tree decorations onto double-sided tape.
And we fill the entire surface of the frame with napkins.
Everything is pretty fast.
By the way, you can see how to make from napkins here. It also turns out very nicely.
Christmas tree made of candies
A candy craft will be a wonderful gift: buy a box of good candies in a beautiful package at the grocery store.
It is made of two parts - a base for candy and a barrel.
We glue the base with a side of 23 centimeters. When cutting, make indents along the bottom edge and at one edge of 1 cm. We will apply glue on them.
We decorate with beautiful paper or film. We glue the bottom to its base.
We make the trunk, decorate it and glue it to the frame.
Now we evenly put sweets, braid or Christmas tree beads on the hot glue.
Use the same color scheme for base and candy.
Making a Christmas tree for the New Year from pine cones
Natural material always gives the desired flavor to the decor. Immediately smells of freshness and resin at home. Will give a symbolic meaning to this winter holiday.
Pine cones are also suitable for various crafts.
You can create a Christmas tree only from cones alone, or you can dilute them with sisal balls, decorative flowers or spruce branches.
The combination of cones and dried citrus also looks unusual.
Glue the cones to the base with hot glue. You don't have to think about the side you have them on. This will give a light mesmerizing casualness to the product.
We alternate cones with Christmas balls or other decor.
We cover with artificial snow or white enamel from a spray.
Everything is easy enough, and the result is incredibly beautiful.
Light tinsel herringbone
We can't imagine the New Year without tinsel! She is now missing all kinds of decorations: stars with balls, and multi-colored tips. It is decorated with windows, curtains, walls and, of course, is used as a material for crafts: wreaths and Christmas trees.
Since most tinsel manufacturers put it on thin wire, it lends itself easily to all kinds of bends and shapes.
A spruce tree is made from it in three minutes!
We need:
- Tinsel
- Sheet of cardboard
- Double sided tape.
We make a base in the form of a cone from cardboard and glue it with double-sided tape.
Remove the protective film from the first row and begin to glue the end of the tinsel, tightly wrapping the frame.
If you didn't have enough tinsel, then glue the end with tape, and put the next fluffy tape of the same color on top of it.
Fluffy beauty from pom poms
Pompons have also long been loved by our craftswomen. Previously, we made a dog out of them, now we will create a fluffy beauty.
The balls themselves can be made in two different ways: by winding 20 layers on a fork or using two round blanks.
We will go in the second way.
We take cardboard or plastic, cut out two identical rings.
Now, stepping back 5 centimeters from the edge of the thread, we begin to wind the yarn very tightly.
Then we cut the outer fold between the blanks.
With the left thread tip, we tie the middle of the pompom so as not to lose all the threads.
Now we are looking for a thick wire and we turn it into a spiral. Leave the base wide. We string pompons on it.
If the wire is not found, then we use the experience of previous products and form a triangular or conical base.
Felt Christmas tree ideas
Felt is also popular with our craftswomen. What only educational toys and decorations for the Christmas tree are made of. Today I will give a few ideas for creating a spruce tree.
From the simplest options to the most complex.
Option 1. Cut out 10 trees of the same size from felt. We fold it in half and glue it with a fold to the trunk.
We use branches, tree cuts (preferably spruce or pine).
Option 2. Cut out many identical triangles from felt.
We glue them to the frame in rows. The upper triangle lies between the lower two!
Option 3. We prepare 5 squares of different sizes: 9 cm, 7 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm, 1 cm.
We make five pieces of each size.
Now we string the largest squares onto the thick one, distributing them diagonally to each other so that there are no voids.
We pass all the squares like this.
New Year's beauty made of fabric
And in the piggy bank are two ideas of fabric beauties. The ends can be finished with a decorative seam with thick contrasting thread. Sew buttons or beads on symbolic branches.
Use several colors of fabrics and textures. For example, take velvet on one side and linen on the other.
You can also choose different patterns in the same color scheme or, on the contrary, play with companion flowers.
You can fill the Christmas tree with holofiber, synthetic winterizer or cuts, the remnants of your work.
If the product is small, fill it with cotton wool.
My dears, I tried to find for you the most interesting and accessible materials for creativity. I'd like to know your opinion in the comments!
