Interior creative Christmas trees made from natural materials. DIY Christmas trees from natural material

Moss has been lying in the remains for a long time, I kept thinking to come up with it. But, since the New Year holidays are on the nose, I didn’t have to think for a long time. Decided to do moss eco-tree.

I really liked this material in work, it requires a minimum of decor.

The latest hand-made novelties are Christmas trees with curved tops, so I decided to make the same, only from moss. Such unusual Christmas trees can magically complement the New Year's decor of your home and become a wonderful souvenir gift.

To do moss Christmas tree with a curved top You will need:

  • moss (preferably green, it is soft),
  • a small cone made of foam or cardboard,
  • double sided tape,
  • some wire
  • small planter pot or any other suitable container,
  • building gypsum (alabaster),
  • 1 barbecue skewer
  • hot glue gun,
  • scissors,
  • decor: ribbons, beads.

Let's get started...

We cut the skewer into 3 equal parts (you can use a knife with small teeth) and glue them together with hot glue. Gypsum is diluted with water to the consistency of thick sour cream and put into a prepared container. We evenly install glued skewers in the center and wait a couple of minutes until the gypsum is completely solidified. Partially decorate the trunk of the Christmas tree with ribbon.

Gypsum hide with moss.

Now it's time for the cone...

At the top we fix 2 wires, if necessary, you can fix them with hot glue.

Now we need to wrap the entire structure with double-sided tape. If the cone is made of foam, then the bottom is inclusive.

We lay our cone on a pillow of moss and roll it tightly. If small islands remain, then you can glue them with hot glue. But everything stuck well with me, and single, slightly sticking out branches can then be pressed with decor.

We pierce the bottom in the middle with scissors and carefully put on skewers.

We bend the crown.

Let's decorate a little, although the Christmas tree, by itself, looks very interesting.


And with the symbol of the coming new year! 🙂

The Christmas tree turns out to be miniature, about 20 cm. It will not take up much space and will look great on your desktop. Your relatives, friends and work colleagues will certainly be delighted with such an original New Year's gift. And to create such DIY souvenir very simple and fast.

I was glad to help!

Especially for those who feel sorry for buying a real live Christmas tree for the New Year, we share a chic idea of ​​how a creative Christmas tree can look like with your own hands. At the same time, it is also real, because it is made of natural material.

In order to make unusual Christmas trees with your own hands for the New Year, you will only need a few wooden sticks that you can easily find in a park or in the yard. With their help, we will create unusual Christmas trees with our own hands. and very quickly. Such a Christmas tree looks great on the wall and can decorate any home, be it a chic country house, be it a small room.

The main thing is to put your own sense of style into this craft and make something really creative!

DIY Christmas trees for the New Year on the wall

In order for you to have a Christmas tree on the wall with your own hands, you will need:

  • about 10-20 wooden sticks of different lengths;
  • small saw, hatchet or jigsaw;
  • twine, twine or any natural rope;
  • sharp scissors;
  • electric Christmas garland;
  • Christmas decorations.

How to make decorative Christmas trees with your own hands

First, clean the sticks from small knots, debris and dry them. Arrange along the length from the longest to the shortest, so that the figure looks like a Christmas tree in shape.

If necessary, cut off an extra few centimeters with an electric jigsaw from the prepared sticks.

New Year with snow, a smart green beauty and tangerines is a wonderful and fun holiday, but why not make it truly unusual? A Christmas tree made from eco-friendly materials will decorate the house with a barely noticeable haze of invigorating and spicy aroma, and will also create the right festive mood. The creative workshop "BARABASHKA" is happy to share its ideas and secrets with you in this simple master class on creating a New Year's decor with your own hands.

To create a New Year's decor with your own hands, we need:

  • foam cone
  • wooden planter
  • wire
  • alabaster + water
  • glue gun + 3-5 glue sticks
  • white paint in a can
  • sisal (we had 2 colors: white and brown, you can have one)
  • jute twine
  • walnuts
  • acorns
  • cinnamon
  • star anise
  • peppercorns
  • decorative elements (roses, beads, twigs, ribbons)
  • improvised means - a knife, scissors, rags

Making a Christmas tree from eco-materials

Making a Christmas tree from natural materials is very close to technology in its principles, but it has its own author's nuances.

We make the base for the Christmas tree.

We take a foam cone and wire.

We make a hole in the cone, carefully insert the wire into it and twist the tip for stability.

Turn on the glue gun. While it is heating up, we take out the sisal (we have it white, the same color as the cone) and straighten it so that it can be wrapped around the foam.

When the gun is ready for use, carefully begin to glue the sisal from the tip of the cone to the bottom. It should turn out as you see in the photo.

The next step is to fix the tree in a pot.

We take a small amount of alabaster (aka building gypsum) and dilute it with water. We quickly pour it into our prepared pots, insert our “Christmas tree” into it and align it. Everything must be done carefully and not delayed, because. alabaster hardens rather quickly.

As a result, we get a nice base for our eco-Christmas tree.

Now we are preparing materials for the Christmas tree. I suggest starting with sisal balls.

We take a brown sisal, tear off a small amount and roll it in the palms in the form of a ball. The size should be about the size of a walnut. This is done quickly, because. it takes the shape we need well.

At the end we get such a nice pile.

Then we take walnuts, split them into even halves with a knife.

We clean the cores (they can be eaten later), because for the Christmas tree we only need the shell.

Unfortunately, the beanies fall off the base when you bring them home, so we glue them back to their rightful place to restore their original look.

Usually cinnamon sticks are sold in 10 cm sizes, because. this is a lot for the Christmas tree, we cut them in half with scissors.

So, we got such natural blanks for the Christmas tree:

  • walnut shell
  • acorns
  • sisal balls
  • small cinnamon sticks
  • star anise

We begin to glue everything on the prepared base.

Using a glue gun, we alternately glue everything that we prepared earlier.

So let's start at the top...

And slowly moving down.

We try to keep everything as close as possible.

The voids that we have formed are closed with the help of allspice.

Now we take white paint in a spray can, go out into the fresh air and paint some nuts white.

So we give our Christmas tree a snowy look.

So that there are no strong contrasts, we wipe some nuts a little with a cotton swab moistened with nail polish remover.

If you have a desire, then it can be decorated with your favorite decorative elements that are lying around in your bins. We dressed her up in a garland of beads and refreshed her with white roses. A New Year's ribbon wrapped in jute twine was glued onto the trunk.

Christmas tree made of eco-materials is ready.

The eco-theme is very pleasant and interesting, so you don’t have to stop at the Christmas tree, it’s better to create a whole New Year’s composition in the interior or on the festive table!

Happy holidays everyone!

Some interesting information about the cineraria plant

Well, of course, cineraria is impossible not to love. Its openwork silver-white pubescent leaves are unrivaled. Against their background, any flowers look brighter and more interesting.


And this is cineraria, which we raised with the guys on our site in kindergarten.


Cineraria was discovered by travelers in the 16th century. The original plant immediately attracted European gardeners and became widely used in the arrangement of botanical gardens in Italy, France, and England.
The flower was brought to Russia only under Peter I, who, as you know, was a progressive politician and loved all sorts of innovations. Landscape design was no exception. And although the fan of ships understood little in botany, he still liked the unusual flower, which was transported to Russia and adapted to our harsh conditions.

The local peoples of Madagascar had such a belief in the appearance of cineraria. Long ago, a beautiful princess lived on Earth. And how beautiful she was, so arrogant. She adored the worship of the courtiers, expensive gifts, arranged wild fun. For this she was called bloody. And once a kind, brave young man fell in love with the princess. As far as the princess was arrogant, so he is pure in heart and strong in spirit. But the love of the beauty broke him. He began to seek meetings with her and was ready for any madness. But the girl did not notice him, or rather ... pretended not to notice, because she was not used to showing her feelings, she expected that he would spread like a carpet in front of her endlessly. But, having decided that the love of a heartbreaker cannot be achieved, the young man went to war, where he laid down his head. The princess found out about what had happened and ran to the high slope of the mountain. So strong was her despair that the girl turned into a scattering of beautiful blood-colored flowers. After some time, another plant appeared nearby - a harsh silvery hue, as if dressed in knightly armor. This is how, according to the myths of the natives of Madagascar, the bloody and silvery cineraria appeared.
Beautiful, but a little sad.

And even though the New Year has already passed, we still reign good New Year spirit! The children and I decided to Christmas tree made from natural material - pine cones. work with natural materials always very interesting for children! They get new emotions, turn on the already violent children's fantasy, learn the world through tactile sensations. I get great joy from being a kind of guide to an interesting world called " natural material".

For Christmas tree making we needed the cones themselves! We have a whole basket of them!


After that, I asked the children what our bumps look like? The answers varied, but most of the children decided that Christmas trees! And it was decided to paint them green!

Now our cones have become quite similar to Christmas trees! And of course, what kind of tree without Christmas decorations!decorations each child made on his own taste: someone made balls a garland of plasticine, someone rolled a bump in semolina, and someone decided that the bump is very good anyway!

From the resulting " Christmas trees"We composed a composition New Year's forest. AT new year the forest also found a place for the symbol of the coming year - the Cockerel.


We completed our interesting lesson with a finger game " Squirrel".

The children were very happy with their work! However, like me.
