What else will you need and how to make a craft?

How to make a Christmas tree from laminate with your own hands

Please note that no special skills are required to complete the work, so even a child can handle it. And creativity together with parents will strengthen relationships and teach you to think in an original and interesting way.

What will be needed

The main advantage of such a gift is that you will not need a lot of additional materials that would entail significant material expenses. To work you will need:

• laminate - its remains;
• nylon jar lid;
• glue moment;
• cardboard;
• wire;
• multi-colored beads;
• scissors;
• pliers;
• awl;
• colored pen.

As you can see, everyone probably has all these materials and tools in their home. Especially in families with children, because various crafts are often asked to be done at school.

Collecting a Christmas tree

When everything you need has been found and prepared, you can begin to work. There is nothing difficult about assembly.

The first step is to make a hole in the lid and insert a wire there, forming a loop from its free end. This is done using pliers.

Then draw the details of the future Christmas tree on pieces of laminate, templates for which can be easily found on the Internet. They will come in different sizes, so be careful with the quantities.

IMPORTANT! If you are making a craft with your child, then at this stage it is better to cut out the parts yourself so that they are more accurate, and also to avoid possible injuries.

Now all that remains is to make a stand for the Christmas tree. To do this, you need to glue the lid to the cardboard, and stretch a wire upward from the middle, which will become the base of the toy. After this, you can begin to string the pieces and beads onto the wire in the order you like.

The main stage is decoration

We have assembled the Christmas tree, but an equally important task remains - to decorate it. To do this, take sparkles, rhinestones and everything you can find at home. You can cut the rain into short strips and hang it like on a real Christmas tree. You can find small, lightweight toys that the toy can handle. Decoration requires a flight of imagination and it is impossible to give clear recommendations on exactly how to decorate your toy. There are many ideas, but the choice is yours. Now you know how to make your own Christmas tree from laminate to please your loved ones. Don't forget that the best gift is the one made with your own hands, and this is another advantage of such a choice. You won’t spend a penny using things that have long been forgotten in the apartment and will make something new and joyful for everyone!
