These three crafts are very simple and very original so that we can go planning for Christmas. May do with children and they are very fun. The great thing about it is that it has so much color that we can mix the colors as we like. You can paint the golden tree in green and the other green tree in the color that you like the most, even its pompoms, which are very funny, you can combine them with the most ideal colors to your personal taste.
You can see the step by step of this tutorial in the following video:
These are the materials that I have used:
- wooden popsicle sticks (about 12)
- black, gold, green and yellow acrylic paint
- gold glitter
- small and medium pom poms in assorted colors
- gold colored pipe cleaners
- a piece of gold glitter card stock to make a star
- a piece of red glitter card stock to make the base of the tree
- decorative stickers in the shape of shiny stones
- red string to hang the ornaments
- hot glue gun with transparent silicones
- scissors
First Christmas tree
First step:
We place the sticks where we want them to be placed making the shape of the tree. we'll go cutting the ends obliquely and upward as they take the shape. We paint black the central pole that will act as the trunk of the tree. We paint the other sticks golden. We let it dry.
Second step:
We place the sticks that make the shape of the tree, we have to make them keep the same distance from each other. Without pushing him away, we will raise one by one and come on by pouring a drop of hot silicone so that they stick together. Then we can go sticking the pompoms with the same silicone. We leave the top part to be able to paste a star that we will have cut out, we paste it. In the back we place a piece of string so that our craft can be hung.
Second Christmas tree
We take three sticks and we paint green, we let them dry. We make the shape of a triangle with them and we hit them at their ends with hot silicone. We place a pipe cleaner around the triangle and we hold it by sticking a few droplets of silicone strategically. We place and glue the pompoms around the tree. We cut a square piece of red glitter card stock and we will place and stick it at the base of the tree. Finally we cut a small piece of rope to place it in the back to be able to hang our craft.
Christmas star
First step:
We paint four sticks of yellow. Without letting it dry we throw gold glitter y we spread it with our fingers.
Second step:
Let's making the star shape and we put a silicone drop in the central part of each stick so that they stick together. We glue in the central part and on the stick above a red pompom. We decorate the rest of the star with the decorative stickers shaped like shiny stones. Finally we will cut a piece of rope that will be glued on the back so you can hang the craft.
