In autumn, more and more often you begin to think about the coming of the New Year with its festive mood, meetings with friends and family and, of course, gifts. Besides, New Year all of us have been associated with a Christmas tree since childhood! Let's talk about her.)

Fortunately, people are increasingly thinking that it is not worth cutting down a living Christmas tree for the sake of a few public holidays. "Cross" and I fully support this decision and believe that a do-it-yourself Christmas tree is much more interesting and humane! In addition, these are great options for those who have nowhere to put a large Christmas tree (for example, there is no free space, or an active small child is in this free space).

We bring to your attention large selection master classes on creating a decorative Christmas tree with your own hands, which will serve as a wonderful decoration for your home and original gift for a wonderful holiday!

Christmas tree made of cones

Highly original Christmas tree can be made by hand pine cones. But we will not use the whole cones, but only their scales, so that the Christmas tree is not too bulky.

So, to begin with, we will separate its scales from the cone. It can be done sharp knife, nippers or secateurs.

Be careful, take care of your hands!

The next step is to make a cone from thick paper or cardboard, which will be the base of our Christmas tree. We turn the paper into a cone, glue it on the side and cut off the excess at the base.

Then we just take the scales in our hands and glue them in a circle, starting from the base of the cone.

You can glue each new row in a checkerboard pattern, you can, as here, one above the other.

You can glue a clove on the top of the Christmas tree (such a spice))

After the glue dries, you can start painting our beauty. To do this, you can take spray paint or regular acrylic paint.

If you choose acrylic paint with a metallic effect, then your Christmas tree will look much more spectacular.

Then we cover the ends of the "twigs" with PVA glue and sprinkle sparkles on them.

This beauty is obtained as a result of these uncomplicated actions:

Exactly according to the same principle, you can decorate the cone with chains and beads, decorative cords, ribbons, braid, etc.

Another very popular way of making artificial Christmas trees with their own hands is their weaving from beads. This is perhaps the most painstaking way, but for lovers of beading, nothing is impossible!

sweet story

Beautiful and sweet crafts made by craftsmen from sweets and various decorative materials (mainly from floral corrugated paper), are made using the technique of suite design. This name comes from English word sweet - sweet. The creation of such compositions is inextricably linked with the history of the appearance of sweets.

The first sweets appeared in Europe at the end of the 18th century. With the development of technological progress, confectioners realized that small sweets in beautiful packaging Sold better than large and unpackaged. This is how candy wrappers were invented. The French packed sweets in special boxes - bonbonnieres. They were made from precious metals. This tradition was adopted from the French by the Germans. Traditionally at the beginning school year their children received as a gift a huge bag decorated with various decorative materials. Such a bag was filled with sweets and school supplies. Sweets came to Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The widespread cultivation of sugar beet made it possible to reduce the cost of the sugar production process. Accordingly, the price of sweets fell and began to be sold freely. The favorite delicacy of the children was lollipops, which they bought in large quantities.

The New Year gives us many wonderful handmade traditions - an advent calendar with tasks for the whole of December, homemade garlands, white paper stencils for windows, beautiful homemade Christmas decorations. Today I will tell you how to make a Christmas tree from candies with your own hands. This is a great way to get the kids involved in preparing for the big day. winter holiday. A Christmas tree made of sweets and tinsel will not only be a gift, but also an excellent decoration for any New Year's interior. So, we take the children, stock up on sweets and together we perform a simple and beautiful master class.
Lead time: on average, an adult takes about an hour or an hour and a half for one tree. The child will be able to repeat the master class in about 2-2.5 hours.
Degree of difficulty: simple.

Work materials

Basic materials
1. thick cardboard (I like to work with business card - it has many beautiful shades, it is quite dense, it is sold in sheets of 70x100 cm and keeps its shape perfectly; you can buy it, for example, in the branches of the Bereg company, which are in all large cities)
2. green tinsel - 2 pcs. medium size (the fluffier the better; if you are thinking of a big tree, you will need more, our candy tree turned out to be about 35 cm high)
3. sweets (it is better to take smaller ones, they can be fixed more)
4. Christmas tree top(you can take Christmas tree toy, for example, a star or a ball, and decorate it with your own hands, but since my daughter made Christmas trees from sweets in the photo as a gift to her friends, she chose a Smeshariki chocolate ball and a big lollipop for the top)
Additionally you will need:
1. glue stick
2. adhesive tape
3. scissors
4. thermal gun with 1 transparent glue stick (if there is no gun, you can replace it with any glue to which tinsel will stick)

Stages of work

The master class consists of three stages:
- we create a cardboard base with our own hands,
- glue candies to it,
- attach the tinsel and the top to the cone.
1. We fold a cardboard cone with our own hands, leave a small hole on top, into which it will be convenient to stick the top later. We glue the edge with a glue stick, hold it a little with your fingers until the glue seizes. We cut the base so that the cone stands straight, and does not deviate to the side like a bag for seeds.

2. We attach the candies to the adhesive tape and glue them like a garland diagonally to the very bottom.
Note! Scotch tape is not the most reliable way to fix candies, very often with this method, candies soon begin to fall off the Christmas tree, so if you want them to stick "tightly", it's better to glue them on hot glue!

3. We heat up the thermal gun, drip a drop on the upper edge of the cone and fix the tip of the tinsel on it. Gently and tightly wrap the tinsel around the cone with our hands, lifting the sweets so that they are on top. In some places we drip glue to fix the tinsel. Now she will not slide on the cone. At the very bottom, we fix the tip with glue.
4. We decorate the tree with the top. The lollipop is very conveniently inserted into the top and held there without any glue, but the ball had to be glued with a heat gun.
The master class is over, the candy tree is ready! Now you can give it to little sweet tooth!

More ideas

And after a few useful tips how else to make a Christmas tree decorated with sweets.
1. Green tinsel can be replaced with green organza, cut into squares and folded into envelopes. Envelopes are most easily fixed to the "trunk" with hot glue.
2. If you make several small cones with your own hands, and attach loops of braid or decorative cord to the top, then such mini-Christmas trees can be hung as a sweet decor around the room.
3. A cardboard cone can just as well be replaced with a bottle of champagne; any older sweet tooth will be delighted with a Christmas tree of champagne candies. And how effectively it will be opened on a festive night!
A candy tree is a master class for children and adults, which should definitely be included in the preparation plan for each new year. The main thing is to stock up more sweets in advance, since some of them can always be eaten in the process of work. You can also do something interesting with your children or do it yourself New Year's topiary, ideas for which can be gleaned in the following video:

Somewhere in Europe? How to do it in an ordinary hotel room? If you have a pair of dexterous hands, and from tools - scissors, glue or double-sided tape, then consider that you are provided with the main symbol of the New Year. In this article we will talk about how to make a Christmas tree from candies. The process of its manufacture is very simple, and most importantly, entertaining. Even five-year-old children can be involved in the work. The resulting tree looks elegant, does not fall off. And how pleasant it is to disassemble it, tasting the decorations! Below you will find several interesting ideas how to make such a creative Christmas tree. Read and hold on!

Master class: candy tree

To build a Christmas tree, you need a frame, fastening materials and the decorations themselves. Along with sweets, you can use "rain" or tinsel. Let's consider two options. In the first case, you are not limited in the choice of tools. And in the second - you really are sitting in a hotel room, and from improvised means you have only adhesive tape or glue. So, the first option: a Christmas tree carefully made from candies at home. step by step photo will help you understand this simple production process. We take a rectangular or square piece of cardboard and roll a cone out of it. We fasten the edges with PVA glue. Trim the underside of the cone with scissors to make it stable. This is the frame of the future Christmas tree. Here, in passing, it should be noted that it can also be made from foam. But then you need to fix the light material on some kind of base. You can put a New Year's present in a cardboard cone. After all, gifts are always placed under the Christmas tree. The weight in the middle will give the cardboard cone stability. Then you should think about the bottom cover. Cut out a circle of the desired diameter from cardboard and, after wrapping the gift inside, glue it to the bottom edge of the cone. For better bonding of two surfaces, cut it with a fringe.

Frame decor

No matter how thickly we stick sweets afterwards, the white surface of the drawing paper will still show through. To prevent this from happening, we will color the frame green. This can be done with an aerosol acrylic paint or regular gouache. Or use green wrapping paper, fabric, ribbons, etc. To make the candy tree look like a real one, we will also make a tinsel fringe. You should think about the concept of the top. Most convenient option- a lollipop in the shape of a star. Sharpen the lower end of the wooden holder with a knife. Push it into the top of the cone. For a wooden stick, hook the edge of green tinsel. To summarize: what do we have at this stage? A green cardboard cone with a lollipop sticking out of the top and a ribbon of tinsel. Let's try to turn this impartial sight into an originally decorated Christmas tree.

Christmas tree decoration

We need a kilogram of chocolates and about five meters of tinsel (preferably green). On the surface of the cone, we draw circles or draw a spiral strip with a pencil, along which we will glue the “needles” and sweet decorations. As for sweets, here you can give a few tips. It is better to take sweets packed in bright bell-shaped wrappers (with a single tail on top). Such sweets often come with waffle topping. That is, they are large enough not to get lost among the tinsel, but light and will not peel off under the weight of their weight. We apply glue or double-sided tape to the strips drawn with a pencil. As we remember, the edge of the tinsel is already attached to the top of the cone. We wrap it around the entire surface of the frame. Now we glue the candy tails. It is advisable to place them in a checkerboard pattern. That's it, the Christmas tree made of sweets and tinsel is ready!

small tree for children

This primitive structure made of thick paper can be made very beautiful. Based on the tastes of the child, it is better to use not chocolates, but lollipops, marmalades and caramels. It is very convenient to insert cockerels, squirrels and baked sugar stars with wooden sticks into the foam frame. Children also love chocolate figurines (angels and animals), which are sold in stores. They, as a rule, already have ropes in order to hang them on real Christmas trees. If you use small candies and caramels, then you need to take a "rain" with a shorter pile so that the sweets are not lost behind fluffy tinsel. A child can also be involved in the manufacturing process. But then it is better to use not glue, but double-sided tape. A do-it-yourself Christmas tree made of sweets will make the New Year more memorable for the child.

marmalade tree

And now let's consider such life cases when the tools for cutting the frame and sticking tinsel may simply not be at hand. Do not give up on this occasion from the celebration of the New Year! Marmalade is an excellent building material. How to make a Christmas tree out of jelly candies? Very simple. Right on a wide flat plate, we begin to build our New Year's tree. We lay out the marmalade (preferably green) so that the whole structure resembles a cone or pyramid. Sugar candy sprinkles make our Christmas tree look like it is powdered with hoarfrost. Chocolate dragees "M&M" or "Sea pebbles" will be our toys. And tinsel - melted chocolate or caramel. Such rain, by the way, will also hold parts of the structure together. The only disadvantage of such a Christmas tree is a short shelf life. The tree is desirable to eat in new year's eve as a dessert.

For its manufacture from consumables, only adhesive tape is required. Prepare a bottle of champagne and about 35-40 chocolates. It is desirable that they be in a green wrapper and with two tails. We begin to fasten the sweets with adhesive tape to the bottom of the bottle. If you have the opportunity, use long sweets first. Indeed, in a real Christmas tree, the lower branches are longer than the upper ones. Then, at a small distance from the first circle of sweets, we attach the second layer. We cling to the adhesive tape by one tail, and stick it on the bottle. Arrange the sweets in a checkerboard pattern, that is, the top row should close the gaps in the bottom. We do this until we come to the metal bridle holding the cork. Thanks to the gold or silver foil covering the bottle of champagne, you don’t need to decorate the top - the candy tree is already quite elegant. You can take such a tree with you to the celebration of the New Year to the main square of the city and uncork it there to the sound of the clock. Don't forget to bring your goblets too. And you already have a drink with a snack!

Christmas tree on a foam base

Once you work hard, you will have a New Year's tree for many years. Just every year you need to hang new sweet "toys". Cut out a cone from a piece of foam. Green wrapping paper glue it on top. We take bright satin ribbons and tie small multi-colored bows. Cut out squares from green organza. Using glue (it will be easier to use a thermal gun), we attach decorations with sweets to the foam frame. Christmas tree made of sweets and tinsel is ready. AT this case it is better to take sweets in a wrapper from which it is easy to get them without tearing the candy wrapper from the base. As additional decor you can use beads and the usual Christmas tree rain.

Tree in five minutes

We tie three sweets by the ends with a thread. We attach them to the top of the champagne bottle with adhesive tape. The untied ends of the candies will be placed like the top three branches of the Christmas tree. We unwind the tape. We attach sweets to it at one end of the wrapper. It turns out such a garland. To make a candy tree look beautiful, you need to take single-caliber sweets. We wrap this garland of scotch tape around a bottle of champagne in a spiral, moving from top to bottom. Additionally, we decorate with a rain with a short pile, bows and other New Year's tinsel.

A few decor ideas

Well, if we decided that our home will be decorated with a Christmas tree made of sweets, then the accessories for it should also be edible if possible. Use candy stars instead of the top. And let the serpentine be replaced by multi-colored jelly laces (sold in stores from Haribo, for example). The foam frame is convenient not to glue, but to pin decorations to it. You can attach sweets to it with ordinary toothpicks. Sweets do not have to be in green wrappers. You just need to skillfully combine colors to make it not clumsy, but stylish and elegant. A Christmas tree made of sweets, created with your own hands, is not only beautiful, but also delicious. For the holiday, it is better to buy expensive chocolate varieties of sweets.

The Christmas tree is a symbol of the New Year - one of the most favorite holidays for children. What else do kids love? Of course, sweets ... Today you will see a great idea on how to combine these main attributes and give a great mood to friends and loved ones.
Pretty easy to make a simple Christmas tree from any sweets (truffles, chocolate, candy or even marmalade), you can even make it together with your baby.

First master class

2. I take wallpaper (width 1.5 m) - so as not to miss the height for sure. All my Christmas trees are 30-35 cm long. For such a height, 2 m long tinsel is enough. We make a compass from a pen and a thread, draw a semicircle with a radius such as the height of the tree.

5. We twist the cone from the semicircle - the wall is double. We glue. I glue with hot glue, because. it gives additional rigidity to the base, and it is not necessary to dry it. We make a base from foam plastic (or foam plastic) - we circle the bottom of the cone, cut it out. At the bottom, we bevel one edge so that it can then be inserted into our cone. We remove the bottom to the side, it will come in handy a little later, it can be pasted over with the same wallpaper.

6. We glue the tinsel in a circle all on the same hot glue.

7. Then glue the candy. If the candy is light, you can glue it on double-sided tape, but I have heavy ones, so I glue it on the tip of the package. Then you don’t need to tear off the candy, you can just pull it out from the other side.

We glue the candies not quite in a full circle, because. the tinsel will need to be passed along the glued candy tails to the second row and further in a spiral.

9. We do everything in parallel - we glued a few sweets, followed by tinsel.

10. When everything is pasted over, we cut the tinsel, if necessary, and that's what we get! If anyone manages to glue the bottom on hot glue - that's great, I didn't succeed. I got out of the situation as follows: I have a penoplex 2 cm high.

11. If you have an asterisk or beautiful bow, or something else to decorate the crown - well, if not (like mine) - we take a floristic (or ordinary, but rigid) wire and make a star!

12. We fasten the tip of thin golden tinsel to the beginning of the star, then wrap it around the wire along the entire frame, cut it off, and glue the end of the tinsel on the other side.

13. It turns out such a beauty!

14. We fasten the star to the crown.

15. We decorate with beads - carefully glue the first bead into the base of the star, then we wrap the Christmas tree along the sweets with beads and at the end we also carefully glue the last bead at the base.

16. It turns out such a beauty! It took about 2 hours for everything about everything, 30-40 cm of one and a half meter wallpaper, a piece of foam plastic, 800 gr. sweets, 2 m of silver tinsel, 65 cm of thin gold tinsel, 1 floristic wire, about 2 m of beads, 1.5-2 pieces of 15 cm rod for a glue gun and, of course, fantasy!))) All success in your creative endeavors!

DIY candy tree. Second master class

To create a candy tree, you will need:

500-600 grams of sweets in a bright wrapper (in this case, we used a truffle in a golden wrapper);

Thick cardboard;

Glue, scissors, double-sided tape;

Christmas decor (rain, a small star for the crown). The color of the candy wrapper should not match the color of the Christmas tree decor. If you decide to use rain, then pick it up with a short "pile" so that the candies are not inconspicuous.

The process of creating a Christmas tree from candies:

First of all, you need to make a cone from thick cardboard - cut a semicircle and wrap it. Glue the edges with superglue, which glues securely and sets quickly. Cut the bottom of the cone into strips, bend it inward and stick a circle on top, which will help make the base as stable as possible.

Advice: inside the cone you can hide a small machine or soft toy, only it is necessary to think over the Christmas trees that open them.

Next, glue the cone with double-sided tape, remove both protective films. Next, glue a row of candies on the bottom. Candies must be pressed very carefully to the adhesive tape, otherwise they will quickly fall off. And in this case, it is desirable to choose light in weight. If you decide to use heavy chocolates, then they can be glued on with glue.

Decorate the top of the Christmas tree from candies - glue a light star (made of wood or foam) on top, then mask the top with something suitable.

Such a New Year's candy can be a great gift for a loved one!
