New Year is a wonderful family holiday. This is the time when everything around is being transformed. Garlands shine brightly everywhere. Shopping centers, theaters, movie centers are decorated. The same thing happens in apartments and houses. Everything is preparing for the New Year. Right now, you can not only decorate your home with your baby, but also make a lot of New Year's crafts. Your kid will give these souvenirs to family and friends or decorate his room.
It is impossible to imagine the New Year without a Christmas tree, so the discussion in this article will focus on how to make a Christmas tree with your own hands with your child.
As a basis, take a Christmas tree made in the form of a cone.
We need: whatman paper, glue, scotch tape, scissors, Christmas tinsel, Christmas decorations, rain, multi-colored garlands, threads of different colors and thicknesses, a needle, cones and everything that, in your opinion, is necessary for decorating a Christmas tree.
1 option
First, a cone is made from a sheet of Whatman paper. This will be the basis for our Christmas tree. You can paint the cone in green, or you can leave it as it is.
Now we fix the garland of green color with tape at the base of the tree and start wrapping our cone in a spiral. Each new row is fixed with tape. The child can do this himself, the main thing is to control how securely the garland is attached to the cone.
The end of the garland is fixed on the very top of the cone also with tape.
Now you can decorate our Christmas tree with various decorations, ribbons and cones. If the first option on how to make a Christmas tree with your own hands is understandable, then the other two are variations on the same topic.
Option 2
Very often, not all electric garlands are used to decorate a house. Here is one such garland you can take for making Christmas trees with your own hands.
At the very beginning, the electric garland is folded with a bundle together with a green Christmas garland.
Now, a Whatman cone is also made, and the resulting structure is wrapped around the cone. It should be borne in mind that at the very bottom should be the end of the garland with a plug, otherwise the wires in order to turn on the garland may not be enough.
In this case, after the Christmas tree itself is made, it should not be decorated with toys. The design is already heavier due to the electric garland, and may not withstand the additional weight of the jewelry.
Such a Christmas tree can be used in the form of a wonderful New Year's fabulous lamp. In this embodiment, the child can also help wrap the garland from the garlands around the cone, but the connection of the lamp should only be done by adults.
Do not forget to first tell the baby how to make a Christmas tree with his own hands, so that he immediately imagines what his work is.

This method is more painstaking, requires more perseverance. Preschool children and primary school students need help in how to make a Christmas tree. With your own hands, without adult control, it will be difficult to cope with this.
As in the first two cases, a cone is first made. Then wrapped in polyethylene.
Now you need to prepare the glue for further work. For this, PVA glue and water are mixed in a proportion of 1/1. Now we take different threads, grease them abundantly with glue and begin to wrap around the cone in any direction along and across. The child can help apply glue and wrap the cone. The main thing is that after finishing work immediately wash your hands thoroughly. The hardened PVA glue is very poorly washed.
As a result, we should get a grid with cells of different sizes and shapes. The smaller the cells and the more threads spent, the stronger the further construction. Leave for a day to dry the glue on the threads.
Now we cut out various New Year's figures from paper, we make bows from ribbons. Lubricate abundantly with glue and glue our decorations to the grid. Once again, leave the tree to dry for a day.
Then carefully remove the cone. We got a light and airy Christmas tree. Work on this New Year's souvenir took several days. This is one of the most beautiful options for making a Christmas tree with your own hands. Many friends and relatives will be delighted and will not believe that the Christmas tree was made with the participation of your child.
