Master class "Christmas tree from the pen." Stage of preparation

To create a decorative tree you need the materials indicated in the following list:

• Natural feather;
• White, dense paper (A-3 format);
• Sheet of cardboard;
• Scotch tape narrow;
• Glue PVA or thermo gun;
• Scotch tape double-sided ;
• Soft paper (tetrad sheets, napkins, newspapers);

Take whole beautiful feathers, wash them with shampoo or soap, rinse and blow dry. Thus, the prepared material is quite suitable for work. If you want to make a herringbone of green or any other color, then the pen can be processed with food colors, and then dried and fluffed.

Description of the crafting process

Work on the creation of such a souvenir as a Christmas tree of feathers begins with the implementation of the foundation. We will make it out of thick paper. Roll a cone out of a sheet of paper, fix the edges with tape. Cut the bottom edge so that the cone is flat on the table surface. Crush the soft paper and fill it with the inside of the product. This is to ensure that the cone does not bend during decorating, and the tree of the feather held its shape well. Next you need to close the bottom. On the cardboard sheet, place the workpiece and circle it. The resulting circle is cut not clearly along the contour, but from it by 1 cm. As a result, you will get a bottom detail slightly larger than the circle of the lower part of the cone. On this cardboard blank, cut 1 cm (before the target line). Fold them inwards and apply glue. Attach the bottom to the cone by wrapping the incisions inside the product. Leave the artifact to dry out.

In the meantime, go through the pen. Take in one pile long specimens, the other - the average size, and the third - small. For each feather, glue the bead in the middle or from the lower (lush) edge. Now we begin the stage of decorating the Christmas tree. The bottom edge of the product is covered with a strip of double-sided tape. Long feathers fasten on this place in a circle with a fluffy edge down. Stick them close to each other, filling the entire space. Paper again the cone to be viewed through the balloon pen should not. After the lower tier is completed, decorate the next one, moving upwards. To create the top layers of a tree, use small feathers. The tips of the formed branches can be tinted.

Decoration of a product with decorative elements

Keep in mind that the pen is an easy material, so you can hang toys on it, even small ones, you can not. We recommend you to use light bows as decor. They can be made from a narrow kapron or satin ribbon. Tie small bows, put on their wrong side a drop of glue and attach to fluffy twigs. Carry out this procedure very carefully, so as not to damage the craft. That's all, the master class is over!
