Christmas tree of cones. New Year's holiday for your children

The cones are so similar to the small fir-trees that you can easily make a whole bunch of green beauties for the holiday. Decorating them with beads, rhinestones and artificial snow, you can literally fill the house with New Year's mood in a few minutes. To make this craft you will need:

corks from wine;
cones;
green and white gouache;
glue gun;
beads;
rhinestones;
snippets of chains;
buttons or other accessories;
satin ribbons;
brushes;
artificial snow balloon;
sheet of thin foam plastic;
nail polish with large glitter.

Make a spruce forest, following these recommendations:

Step 1. Cut the corks from the wine into circles in the thickness of 1.5-2 centimeters. Subsequently they will become trunks of Christmas trees. Above the stand of the plugs do not do - the trees can turn out to be unstable.

Step 2. Color the cones with green gouache. If at home you have a balloon with green paint, the process can be speeded up by simply spraying the paint on the cones.

Step 3. Using a glue gun, attach the Christmas trees to the trunks of the cork.

Step 4. Consider the options for decorating. Part of the Christmas trees can be made snow-covered by applying a layer of white gouache or artificial snow from the can to the tips of the scales. Prepare for them the tops in the form of a star. To do this, you need to make a cardboard pattern of an asterisk, and then cut out the desired number of figures from a thin foam. Cover the stars with a layer of lacquer with shiny particles. After drying, the tops are glued to the top of the fir-trees. The remaining Christmas trees can be decorated with beads, buttons or rhinestones, pasting them to the scales with an adhesive gun. For additional decor, use old bracelets, scraps of chains and other jewelry you do not need. Christmas trees can be put individually, and installed on a large sheet of cardboard, sprinkled it with small foam foam and artificial snow. Around the trunks of cork, you can wrap a little cotton wool, simulating snowdrifts.
