CORRUGATED PAPER CHRISTMAS TREE

Send

You can build such a tree with your child in just 30 minutes. Any kid will easily collect accordion blanks for the Christmas tree, and parents will help to fasten and string them on a stick.
It is worth saying the following about the process of assembling a Christmas tree. Barbecue stick is set in a glass or pot. It is fixed in various ways. Plaster, polyurethane foam, pebbles, cereals, sand, paper. Specifically, in this master class a cup-candlestick was used. It is all filled with wax and therefore there were no problems with fixing the trunk of the spruce.
The floors ate on a stick without glue, since the blanks from corrugated paper are well bonded to each other in a circle. And very tightly strung on a barbecue stick. If you are afraid for the design of spruce, then you can drip glue and fix the position of the floors with it.
1. We will need:
• Corrugated paper.
• Scissors.
• Barbecue stick.
• Ruler.
• Stapler.
• Threads.
• A glass.

2. Cut corrugated paper into 2 rectangles. The size of each 25 by 20 cm.

3. We begin to bend the paper alternately in different directions, then outward and inward.
4. It turns out here is such an accordion. Its width is almost 2 cm.

5. Cut the corners like this.

6. Bend in half.

7. Fasten with a stapler.

8. It turns out here is such a circle.

9. We prepare the second rectangle in the same way.

10. Connect the two staples with a stapler.

11. The middle of the two blanks is strengthened with a double thread. Just tie a knot on the back.

12. We prepare 8 such floors-blanks. The diameter of the lower workpiece is 25 cm and the top 5 cm. The width of the accordion for the lower floor was 2 cm, the width of the accordion of the upper floor is only 0.5 cm. Reduction can be done by eye, without accurate calculations. A couple of millimeters there, a couple here, this will not affect the general appearance of the Christmas tree.
