Christmas trees in Kanzashi style

For crafts in the Japanese kanzashi style, details (petals) are created from squares of silk and satin fabric. Glue or sew them together. The main types of petals: sharp and round. They are used to form voluminous flowers, decorative elements, and compositions. A Kanzashi-style Christmas tree is made with a cardboard or foam base. The elements are attached to the foam plastic with tailor's nails.

To make kanzashi wood you will need:

• satin ribbon 5 cm wide, 15 m long;
• beads, toys - for decoration;
• glue gun (liquid glue);
• scissors;
• soldering iron (candle or lighter);
• cardboard or foam cone;
• pencil;
• ruler;
• compass;
• glue stick;
• tweezers (for holding the workpiece and processing its edges).

With sharp petals

A kanzashi Christmas tree with sharp satin elements is a beautiful gift for the New Year. Parts with sharp edges can be single-color, two-color, or curved. Step-by-step instructions for decorating a kanzashi tree with classic sharp petals:

1. Using a ruler, measure 5 cm by 5 cm squares on the tape (that’s 300 squares). Cut using a soldering iron or scissors, with the ends sealed over a fire.
2. Using tweezers, fold the square diagonally once, and then in half again (the fold is obtained from the bottom).
3. The resulting upper corner is cut off. They are scorched with a lighter and pressed with tweezers.
4. On the right side, the remains are cut off and treated with fire. You can turn the petal on the back side.
5. Make a cone from cardboard. A semicircle 9 cm long is drawn from the corner with a compass. Cut it out, glue it and apply markings in the form of a diagram (every 1 cm) with a simple pencil.
6. Glue the petals on, starting from the bottom row. The parts of the second row are attached between the parts of the first, etc. The petals of the uppermost row are glued close to each other.
7. The top is sealed with a satin ribbon and decorated with bows and stars.
8. Decorate the Christmas tree with beads, decorative candies, and balls.

With round petals

Crafts made from ribbons, which use petals with rounded edges, look delicate. Details are made in one-color, two-color, or inverted versions. Step-by-step master class on making a Christmas tree with a classic round petal:

1. Squares of satin ribbon 5 cm by 5 cm are folded diagonally (fold at the top).
2. The upper edges are folded, pointing towards you (it turns out to be a “shirt”).
3. Fold the sides back in half.
4. Cut off at the base.
5. They are treated with fire, pressed with tweezers, and excess ends are cut off. As with a sharp edge, the round petals can be turned out to create a new element.
6. Cut and glue a cone out of cardboard and apply markings.
7. Begin gluing from the bottom row. Decorate the top and the tree itself.

This craft will take a lot of effort and time, but the result will be truly impressive! Petals made from satin ribbons are glued onto a paper cone using glue. Additionally, the finished tree can be decorated with beads. By the way, the Christmas tree does not have to be monochromatic; you can combine colors to your taste.

#5 Christmas tree made of flowers using the kanzashi technique

But here is a very similar craft to the previous one, but there is only one difference: Christmas tree No. 4 is made from individual petals, and this Christmas tree is made from flowers. First you need to make petals from ribbons, then glue the flowers (5 petals each), and only then glue the flowers to the paper cone. See step-by-step instructions with photos below.

#8 Herringbone hairpin

You can also decorate a hairpin in this simple way: with an ordinary narrow ribbon and a star-shaped bead. It’s so easy to make ordinary hair accessories truly festive, and our step-by-step master class will help you with this.

How to make petals for a kanzashi Christmas tree

Cut out large (green and gold) and small squares (red and white) to create pointy petals (Image 1). When working with ribbon, you cannot do without singeing all the cuts, because threads are knocked out of the satin, which must be singed. Green and gold parts will go to form the crown, and white and red parts will go to the top.

The sharp petal will use up triangles. To begin with, the squares are bent in half diagonally (photo 2).

Then the resulting squares are folded again and overlapped. The brocade will become the inner part of the petal, and the green satin will be the outer part (photo 3).

Grabbing two sharp corners with your fingers, you should close them, then cut off the protruding sharp part and fasten it with a flame. To make the finished Christmas tree flatter, the lower part of the petals is cut off by about 5 mm (photo 4).

At least 14 two-color petals are prepared for the crown, but more can be done if you want to make a larger Christmas tree (photo 5).

To make the top, red and white squares, previously singed with a lighter, are also used (photo 6).

Make the same double sharp petals, but they will be half the size (photo 7). The squares are folded into four-layer triangles, then the red is overlapped with the white and becomes the center of the petal.

When all the double sharp petals are ready (photo 8),

prepare all the other accessories: half beads and holder, lace, lace, felt (photo 9), and proceed to forming the crown of the New Year's souvenir.

Master class: Christmas tree made of ribbons and beads

Another very simple option for Christmas tree decor. Even a child can cope with such work in a matter of minutes, so I recommend that you stock up on a large number of different ribbons and beads; these supplies for needlework are not at all expensive.

Let's collect a lot of Christmas trees with our own hands to decorate everything possible: curtains, refrigerators, chandeliers, mirrors and just walls. In order to make it bright and elegant, it is good to place them next to each other when purchasing materials. Beads and ribbons should be contrasting. I also used beads in my Christmas trees.

1. To create such Christmas trees with your own hands, take a beading needle, tie a knot at the end of the thread, and begin beading.
2. To hang the future Christmas tree with your own hands, we prepare a loop from a narrow ribbon of a contrasting color.
3. We collect beads, beads and tiers of ribbon from the bottom up. As you progress, the ribbon loops of the herringbone narrow.
4. When the Christmas tree triangle is finished, cut the ribbon and sew on a loop. The DIY Christmas tree is ready.

Tapes on a plane

A good idea is to use Christmas trees made from ribbons, which are easy to make yourself - Christmas trees on cards and gift boxes. You can wrap the ribbon around a triangle of cardboard or fabric, or use pins or glue to secure the zigzag ribbon on a flat surface. The silk or metallic sheen of the ribbon makes the packaging elegant and stylish. In addition, a triangle made of it puts everyone’s favorite Christmas tree accent on a gift or card.

You can sew a Christmas tree on the wall from gathered ribbons. It is very convenient if in a small room it is difficult to allocate a corner for installing a regular Christmas tree. A DIY wall Christmas tree made from ribbons doesn’t look as flat as others. Ruffles, multi-tiered designs and satin shine create the effect of volume and splendor.

New Year's composition.

To make a New Year's composition, in addition to a Christmas tree and a snowman, I needed:

• polyurethane foam (dried) - for the base;
• ceiling tiles - for the base;
• padding polyester - the basis for snow;
• foamed polyethylene foam - for snow;
• shaving machine - for snow;
• polystyrene foam - for gifts;
• paints - for gifts;
• glue “Titan”;
• toothpicks.

Popular articles Surprise boxes: description, tips for making and decorating

First the basics. I needed a “piece of snow-covered forest.” In principle, there are many options for how to do it. I used what I had available.

After foaming the door jambs, a piece of dried foam remained. She didn’t let her husband throw away the scraps of foam and in time she dragged a large piece of foam into the hole. I knew that sooner or later it would come in handy in needlework.

This piece of foam was used:

1. I trimmed the foam. This will be a bump.
2. I glued the foam to a piece of ceiling tile.
3. I glued a piece of padding polyester on top and cut it off.
4. Turned everything upside down. I folded the edges of the padding polyester and glued them to the ceiling tiles.

The question that remained was how to make artificial snow from scrap materials? After searching the Internet for information, I found the article “Snow in scrap.” The author of the article, Svetlana, gave wonderful advice on how to make snow from polyethylene foam.

It seems to me that this is the best way to make artificial snow from scrap materials. Svetlana, thank you and special thanks to your husband!

Here is the link to the article: https://wwwmyblogcdtnkfyf.blogspot.ru/2011/11/blog-post_13.html?m=1 (copy the link and paste it into the search bar of your browser).

The essence of this method is simple: shave the polyethylene foam. And it turns out to be very realistic snow. Below in the final photos you can see that this snow is very similar to real snow.

Having prepared the amount of snow I needed, I glued it to the base. To do this, I applied a thick layer of “Titan” glue to the padding polyester. And on top, I sprinkled snow on the glue and pressed it lightly.

After covering the entire base with snow, I installed the Christmas tree. To do this, I inserted three toothpicks into the cork of the Christmas tree, and then pierced the base with them. I added more glue in the gap between the cork and the snow and pressed the cork to the base.

Separately, I would like to say that when assembling the New Year's composition, I had to give up my favorite hot-melt glue. Since this glue is hot, and the base of the composition is all synthetic and warps and melts due to temperature.

All that remains is to make beautifully “wrapped gifts” under the Christmas tree.

To do this, I cut foam cubes with a sharp knife.

I painted the foam cubes in different colors. And tied ribbons like holiday wrapping.

I pierced the “gifts” with toothpicks and stuck them in the snow, just like the Christmas tree.

Finally, the New Year's composition is ready!

This is what I got - a Christmas tree made of ribbons, a snowman made of cotton pads, gifts and snow!

I photographed the work on real snow. Look how homemade snow looks little different from the real thing.

Now, this snowman by the Christmas tree will decorate our New Year holidays.

And if you put white tinsel around the New Year’s composition, it will be even more interesting.

This is the New Year's fairy tale I came up with.

Conical Christmas tree made of ribbons

You can make a cone out of cardboard and cover it with ribbons. It is convenient to attach them to the foam cone using sewing pins.

It is better to take silk ribbons for the Christmas tree; they look very elegant, are opaque and are sold in various widths. If necessary, they can be cut from fabric.

When combined with lace ribbons, you get a DIY vintage Christmas tree.

Decorating a cone-shaped Christmas tree can be divided into 2 ways:

Winding: serial or spiral. Large pieces of tape are used, but their total consumption is usually not large, since they fit tightly onto the surface of the cone or with slight gathering.

Attaching many small parts of the same shape to a cone. It is the variety in shape that determines the style of the Christmas tree. You can attach multi-colored simple loops, as if taken from the remains of ribbons. Or you can make complex petals and roses with your own hands and attach them to the base of the Christmas tree with pearl pins.

• PVA glue or glue gun.
• Candle.

History of kanzashi technique

The kanzashi technique came to us from Japan. Initially, this technique was used to make hair jewelry worn by Japanese and Chinese women. Sometimes such decorations turned into real works of art.

Due to the fact that Japanese traditional attire did not allow any bracelets or necklaces, hair ornaments played a very important role. Sometimes the cost of decorating a hairstyle was equal to the cost of an expensive silk kimono.

This technique is still popular today. With its help, they create both simple decorations and entire flower arrangements. Very beautiful and...

The tsumami kanzashi technique has also found application in the creation of New Year's accessories, Christmas tree decorations and, of course, a decorative mini-Christmas tree. It attracts the eye with its precision, accuracy and beauty.

The best way to decorate a Christmas tree

The tree looks beautiful on its own. But it will be even more attractive if you use various decorative decorations:

• crafts made from satin ribbon (for example, an asterisk on the top of the head, as shown above);
• beads;
• braid with rhinestones;
• miniature tinsel (for example, “rain”);
• small bumps;
• a small LED garland (the lamps should not heat up);
• bows.

Christmas trees made of threads

Using threads, you can decorate a regular paper cone, as in this master class:

Video about an openwork and simple Christmas tree made of threads and glue:

"Preparing for Christmas." Rybakov Anton. Anton has been studying at the Macrame association for three years. Over the years, Anton has participated in exhibitions and competitions many times. Today he brings to your attention his new work called “Christmas Tree”. This is a panel woven using the macrame technique. The Christmas tree on the panel is woven using twisted chains from single flat knots. Several weeks and about a hundred meters of cord were spent to achieve the result. The angel on the tree symbolizes the good news that people received on the day of the Nativity of Christ. The angel is woven with rep bridles, and a bead is used for the head. Anton is pleased with his work and hopes that you, the audience, will like it too. And if this is the case, then Anton and I are ready to prepare an MK for this product.
