Christmas tree of sisal. Stage 2-nd. We make a figurine of a tree

1. From paper twist the cone, fix it with tape or stapler.
2. On the tip of a wooden stick, put on a small piece of foam (diameter about 3 cm), here also attach a piece of wire (5-6 cm). It will serve as the top of a tree. Secure the structure with a glue gun.
3. With the other end, stick the stick into the cone from the top. Hold it right in the middle of the construction, fill the inside of the cone with small pieces of foam or crumpled paper. Cover the bottom of the product with a round piece of cardboard with tape.
4. Lower the bottom of the wooden skew with tape or tinsel.
5. If the paper from which the base of the product is made is not the color of the sisal fiber, color it with watercolor or gouache paints and dry it.
6. The surface of the cone is covered with strips of double-sided scotch, grabbing the wire on the vertex. Pre-bend it a little to the side.
7. Sisal fibers gently wrap around the product in such a way that no paper is visible. Locally fix the fiber with a thermo-pistol.
8. Pieces of polystyrene fill the container, insert the center of the tree. To herringbone from sisal was stable, take a deep and wide jar or box. It is desirable to fix a large product with gypsum. To do this, dilute it to the consistency of sour cream and pour into the container over the foam. Hold the tree a few minutes straight until it grit. Leave to dry for a couple of hours.
