Now, you’re back with me in my 3rd craft post… XD
And I’m very excited.. >u<
And I’m very excited.. >u<
Because this is the easiest and most colourful project that the
others.. :D
If you want to make this craft, there’s
only 4 basic tools & materials that you need. First is the cone-shaped
paper mache. This is the main structure of this craft. With it, you can decide
how big this Christmas Tree. Second is ofcourse the papers. You don’t need to
use colourful-patterned paper like in that picture, you can use any kind of
paper, such as origami papers, recycled paper, etc. Third is about the glue. All-purpose
adhesive is recommended. And the last is a pencil. You may if you don’t want to
use it, but it’s useful enough for begginer… J
I hope you enjoy my choice… ^_^
Now, here are the steps to make it:
1. Prepare all tools & materials.
2. Cut the papers
that you use for this project into small pieces, depend on the size of the
cone-shaped paper.
3. Now, mark the cone-shaped paper surface circularly from
the bottom. And then you give a little space between the first circular line to
the second circular line, depend on the paper’s size. And mark the next
circular line until they reach the top of the cone-shaped paper. If you can’t glue it straightly, those lines
will help you. But if you can glue it straightly, you don’t need the line.
4. Glue the first
line that you have marked with all-purpose adhesive. And start to stick the
small-piece papers on it’s surface. Try to use many different colour papers to
make it look colourful (min. 4 different colour). But if your tree is quite
small, min. 3 different colour are enough. Do this steps until you finished the
top of the cone-shaped paper.
5. Last, look at
your tree and think about what corner of your house that must be decorated with
this colourful tree… :D
