DIY Christmas toys: making a Christmas tree
For one designer, a Christmas tree is a live coniferous branch with a fragrant tangerine, for another – a conical high-tech structure, and for a third – a mountain of pillows. Our green beauty will be pleasant to stroke even children’s fingers.
Christmas tree made of pillows
Materials:
- Scraps of green and silver cloth
- Syntepon
- Thin Silver Cord
- Small plastic flower pot
- Rope
- Silver spray paint
Tools:
- Glue gun
- long needle
- Cut out 2 pieces of stars of each size from the green and silver fabric. Pin them in pairs with the right sides inward and sew along the edge, leaving a small hole for turning.
- Turn out every tier detail and fill it with padding polyester. Sew the hole with a blind stitch.
- Collect all the stars with a pyramid and using a long needle (a special needle for sewing dolls and soft toys is convenient) sew them together. Use thick thread folded in half to sew.
- Sew the smallest star to the top of the pyramid, positioning it perpendicular to the tiers.
- Rope a small plastic pot with a glue gun. Spray it with a silver spray paint. Tie a thin silver cord around the tree like a gift box. Place the tree on a pot stand. The secret of this tree is that a small gift can be hidden in a pot.
By the way
Using the pyramid principle, you can sew small Christmas tree decorations – this is especially convenient if you have small children. The shape of the tiers-“pads” can be arbitrary.
