How to make your own hands a tree of paper in a quilling technique?

The openwork fur-tree in the quilling technique will require even more zeal, but those who have heard about the quilling only with the edge of the ear will cope with it. It will take paper strips of green color with a width of 5 mm and 4 strips of 1 cm, yellow and red strips 3-5 mm wide, glue (PVA and instant) and toothpicks.

  1. We take 4 green stripes of 30 cm, 20 cm, 15 cm and 10 cm in length. We twist them with a toothpick. We remove the part from it and give it a little bloom. We fix the end of the strip with PVA glue. All the spirals are shaped like a drop by grasping and slightly pulling up one of the ends of the spiral.
  2. Wide green stripes are tightly wound on a toothpick and glue the tip, not allowing to blossom. Of these we will make the tree trunk.
  3. Make a drop for the top of the spruce from a green strip 30 cm long.
  4. Now we begin to collect the herringbone with the help of instant glue. We glue the parts of the barrel, let the glue dry out.
  5. We insert the toothpick into the trunk and glue our droplets-twigs. Starting with the smallest, gluing them up at the top of the Christmas tree.
  6. From pink and yellow stripes we make toys, twisting the paper without a toothpick. You can fix the ends until the paper is unwound, and you can make the toys a little more free and give them the shape of small droplets. We glue the balls to the liked branches.
  7. Do not forget to paste a top drop, and decorate it.
  8. If desired, you can make a stand. For her, you need to make nine curls of white paper strips. Curls tightly glued together. Now we fix the tree on the snow stand with the help of glue.
