You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
Tree craft:
First step:
To make the shape of the tree we will place a stick vertically and from there we go install cross sticks. These sticks will be cut transversely at their ends and will be in different proportions forming the top of the tree.
Second step:
We put globs of silicone on the sticks and little by little so that it does not dry out. We will paste the pompoms above each stick and we distribute them well so that they cover the entire width of the tree. In the part of the cusp of the tree we will place only one pompom.
Third step:
We put small globs of cold silicone on top of some pompoms. We will be placing a bright white of decoration in different pompoms, without following an order.
Fourth step:
We put cold silicone on the rest of the pompoms where we had not put it and sprinkle glitter to make it stick.
Fifth step:
With the star-shaped die cutter we make a star in a cardboard with gold glitter. We will place it on the top of the tree. We take the small piece of rope and stick it with the hot silicone from behind. We will give it the shape of a hook so that the ornament can be hung.
Round shape craft:
First step:
In a piece of eva gum with glitter, on the back, we mark some measurements to form a rectangle. The measurements will be 15 or 16 cm by 9 cm. We will cut out the rectangle.
Second step:
We fold the rectangle leaving the glitter inside and mark a line at the top of about 0,5 cm thick.
Third step:
We cut transversal lines up to the line that we have marked and along the entire rectangle. At one end we cut two of the transversal lines leaving the top intact. We have to have some tails that will be the ones that unite the figure much later.
Fourth step:
We open the piece and put on the line where we had marked the line, hot silicone. This step must be done quickly because the silicone dries quickly. We will join the long ends of the rectangle with the help of the silicone and forming a kind of tube.
Fifth step:
With the two little tails that had remained we re-roll the tube formed and we will join the two ends with the help of the silicone.
Step Six:
With the help of a die cutter we will make two stars on a gold glitter card stock. We will stick them on the ornament.
Seventh step:
We will make a red bow and we will also hit it on the top. We catch the piece of rope and we will roll it up into a hook to stick it on the back. In this way it will help us to hang the figure.
