Christmas tree made of corrugated paper

You can build such a Christmas tree with your child in just 30 minutes. Any child can easily assemble accordion blanks for the Christmas tree, and parents will help fasten and string them onto a stick.

It is worth saying the following about the process of assembling the Christmas tree. The kebab stick is placed in a glass or pot. It is fixed in various ways. Plaster, polyurethane foam, pebbles, cereals, sand, paper. Specifically, in this master class, a glass candlestick was used. It is completely filled with wax and therefore there were no problems with securing the spruce trunk.

The floors were held on a stick without glue, since the corrugated paper blanks were well fastened together in a circle. And they are strung very tightly onto a kebab stick. If you are afraid for the structure of the spruce, you can drop some glue and use it to fix the position of the floors.

1. We will need:

• Corrugated paper.
• Scissors.
• Kebab stick.
• Ruler.
• Stapler.
• Threads.
• Glass.

12. We prepare 8 such blank floors. The diameter of the bottom blank is 25 cm, and the top one is 5 cm. The width of the accordion for the lower floor was 2 cm, the width of the accordion for the upper floor is only 0.5 cm. Reductions can be made by eye, without exact calculations. A couple of millimeters here, a couple here, it won’t affect the overall appearance of the tree.

13. Thread the workpiece onto a kebab stick.

14. Next, stepping back 1 or 1.5 cm from the bottom floor, we string the next largest circle.

    Let's give my son dad as an assistant, I think he will be even more interested in creating such a Christmas tree. Let them practice in advance, especially since the materials are available and easy to make.
