Chunky Christmas Tree

Here’s a handmade tree idea using chunky yarn.

First, cut a clear file folder to make a cone that will serve as the base.

Stick double-sided tape on the outside of the cone, then wrap the chunky yarn around it.

Try to wrap it parallel to the base and be careful not to angle it.

Once it’s fully wrapped, decorate it as you like to finish.

Since the base is a clear file, you can place a light inside and enjoy it even in a dark room.

Try making it with your favorite color of chunky yarn.

Here’s a craft idea for making a tree by attaching folded pipe cleaners to a paper cone base.

The pipe cleaners form the tree’s foliage, so first check the balance, cut them to the right length, and fold them in half.

Starting from the bottom of the base, attach them all around in tiers.

Then place the cone over a trunk made by wrapping felt around a rolled paper tube.

Decorate as you like and you’re done.

If you curl the tips of the pipe cleaners upward, the leaves will have movement and the tree will look lovely.

Decorating a big Christmas tree can be difficult, but if you want something with a Christmas feel, a pinecone Christmas tree is a great option.

Use a pinecone as the base and decorate around it to create the tree.

You can use the pinecone as is, or paint it green or white for a cute look.

Try decorating with various parts like green moss, beads, ribbons, and small nuts.

For a base that keeps the pinecone standing steadily, a thinly sliced wooden board works well.

Since they’re small, it’s also nice to make several and display them together!

A dress-like tree

A dress-like tree

The fluffy silhouette of a dress is so cute, isn’t it? Here’s an idea for a Christmas tree inspired by that look.

First, prepare a “tree base,” the kind you can find at 100-yen shops.

It’s made of styrofoam and used for DIY Christmas trees.

If you layer and attach lace onto it, it will look like a dress.

By the way, if you cut the tree base in half, you can still decorate it even after attaching the lace.

Here’s an idea for a macramé Christmas tree that brings a warm, cozy feel.

The word “macramé” means “to cross and tie.” Today, it’s widely known as a technique for creating patterns by knotting and weaving cords.

There are about ten basic macramé knots.

How about mastering those first, then trying your hand at a Christmas tree? By the way, using two cords, each about 150 cm long, is ideal.
