So, we will need:

• dense threads of any color (threads “Iris” or thicker are good, at your discretion)
• PVA glue or transparent stationery glue (transparent glue is better suited for colored threads, as it does not leave white marks)
• thick needle
• scissors
• paper or flexible cardboard
• foil (preferred, but not required).

	Roll paper or flexible cardboard into a cone, which can stand flat on the surface, and tape it lengthwise along the seam so that it does not unfold - this is our layout for giving the Christmas tree its shape. In other words, the height and diameter of your future decoration will depend on the size of the cone. Since we will be placing threads on the cone, for convenience, cover it with foil - this will make it easy to separate the thread frame of the Christmas tree from the layout when the glue dries.

You can pierce a bottle of glue through a needle and thread and, pulling the thread through the glue, immediately wind it in a random order onto the cone. The second option is to simply pour the glue into a convenient container and put the threads in there, and then start wrapping the cone. The first method seemed to us more accurate and economical, since the excess threads, which may be useful to you later, will remain clean and dry.
	Continue winding the threads around the cone until the winding density seems sufficient to you. Then cut the thread, carefully tuck it into the winding and let it dry thoroughly. You can use threads of different colors for the same Christmas tree. Classic red, green and white colors. But in principle, you can choose any thread that matches the color of your interior.
	When the thread winding is completely dry, carefully remove it from the cone and randomly decorate it with LED garland, beads, sequins or miniature Christmas decorations by placing them on strong glue. This Christmas tree can also be used as a lampshade for a small LED lamp - such decor will certainly create a magical atmosphere in the house.

Making it will not take much time, and the result will definitely please you and your loved ones.

About materials and technology

A Christmas tree is made from threads and PVA glue using a frame. Cones made from various materials– cardboard, plastic, foam. PVA glue also comes in different varieties - stationery, construction, household.

If the glue is in a loosely closed container, its thickness increases. This glue must be diluted with water before use.

The appearance of the finished Christmas tree directly depends on the threads you choose. Their color and thickness are the most important characteristics. If you are planning to make a large Christmas tree or decorate it with something quite heavy, we recommend choosing a thicker thread. Accordingly, you can even use bobbin threads to create a light and airy composition. Try combining threads of different colors and thicknesses in a product, it will turn out very beautiful.

There are also several ways to apply thread to the base. You can lubricate the base itself with glue and wind threads around it. When choosing this method, you need to act quickly - the glue may harden. For the second method, a thread is first wound onto the base, and then it is treated with glue using a brush. This method also has a drawback - skip a small area, and after drying it will not become hard, and an ugly hole will appear in this place. The most optimal way to do this kind of work is the third method. For it you need to make sure that the thread is saturated with glue.

If you simply put the ball in a container with PVA glue, it is unknown how the threads will behave. They may lose color, begin to get tangled, or even worse, tear.

To prevent this from happening, you need to pour the glue into a plastic container. Then the prepared thread needs to be threaded into a needle and pierced the container through two walls. It will turn out that the thread will not lie and soak in the glue, and the glue itself will be distributed fairly evenly over it. You can see what it looks like in the photo:

Method No. 1

To make a Christmas tree from threads and PVA glue on a cardboard cone, use detailed step-by-step instructions. So, to get the job done you will need:

• Sheet of cardboard;
• Compass;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Green threads;
• PVA glue;
• Brush for applying glue.

First you need to make a cardboard base in the shape of a cone. To do this, you can simply roll a sheet of cardboard into a ball and trim the bottom edge:

Or use the second method indicated in the diagram:

To do this, draw a circle on a sheet of cardboard using a compass or circle any round object (plate, lid). Next, the circle needs to be divided into four parts. If you want to get a short and wide Christmas tree, remove one sector of the circle. If it is medium in height and width, the circle needs to be divided in half. If the Christmas tree is planned to be small and narrow, make it from a quarter circle.

Glue the finished cone along the side seam with glue.

It is better not to use a stapler, because during the drying process the staples may oxidize, and rust from them will stain the threads.

When the base is ready, you can start working. Place a plastic bag on the base, this will make it easier to remove the finished Christmas tree, because the threads can stick to the cardboard. Wrap a thread moistened with PVA glue randomly around a conical base. Using a brush, generously coat the resulting workpiece with glue. The next stage is drying the product. It should be carried out in a warm and well-ventilated place. After making sure that the Christmas tree is completely dry, you need to remove it from the base. To do this, carefully rotate it around its axis. The Christmas tree made from threads and PVA glue is ready. All that remains is to decorate it to your liking.

Second method

This method involves using a plastic cone to make a base. You can buy it at an arts and crafts store or make it from a plastic folder. Manufacturing is done in the same way as making a paper cone. Randomly wind a thread moistened with PVA glue onto the finished base.

Additionally, lubricate the workpiece with glue and dry. Carefully remove from cone. Another option will require a cardboard cone. If you wrap such a base in foil, then after drying the product will very easily be removed from the cone.

Another option

We invite you to study a small master class on making a topiary in the form of a Christmas tree from threads and PVA glue. Topiary is an interior decoration made in the form of a small fantasy tree in a pot. To create this craft you will need:

• Conical cardboard base;
• Threads;
• PVA glue;
• Glue gun;
• Scissors;
• Thick wire;
• A piece of foam;
• A piece of lining fabric 10 by 10 cm;
• A glass of yogurt;
• A piece of burlap;
• Sintepon;
• Construction gypsum.

Make a paper cone using the method described above. Trace its base onto the foam. Take the wire and pierce the foam circle in the middle. Next, you need to insert the bottom and barrel blank into the cone. Fix with glue where necessary.

To hide the unsightly foam bottom, carefully attach a piece of lining fabric to PVA glue. Wrap brown thread around the trunk of the Christmas tree.

Lubricate small areas of the cone with PVA glue and wrap it with thread. Additionally, coat with glue and dry.

To make a pot, you need to cut a yogurt cup and cover it with burlap. Next, dilute the construction plaster to the state of liquid sour cream. Pour it into the pot and place the Christmas tree there.

Note! You need to hold it until the plaster sets. It won't take much time, just a couple of minutes.

The main work is finished. A topiary created with your own hands will become a great gift for any holiday.
