DIY CHRISTMAS TREE IN SHOES

Send

Today I propose to make such an interesting Christmas tree.
For work, we need: PVA glue, white paper, thick cardboard, green and brown threads for knitting, six wooden skewers, fabric, two containers of chocolate eggs, adhesive plaster, gypsum. For decoration, prepare fishing line, ribbons, beads and good mood!

Let's make shoes

We start making boots from containers. Cut off completely the top cap. In it, carefully cut an oval piece so that you can easily put the workpiece to the bottom of the container. Both parts can be fixed with hot glue or regular adhesive plaster. Next, we breed gypsum. Put some gypsum in the toe of the boot so that our Christmas tree stands on its own. Spread the prepared gypsum on a film 5 mm thick. Set our shoe blank on plaster. Gently pick the cast into the workpiece so that the sole forms. Leave to solidify. We do the same with the second shoe.
Next, we cut two details from the fabric to fit the shoe: an oval to the size of the sole and a strip around the shoe. Add two centimeters high above the shoe so that you can then wrap the fabric inside the workpiece. Sew the top of the pattern. Then we sew to it a pattern of the sole. We insert the shoe into the pattern and carefully dress the weave inside. We decorate the shoes to your liking. At the same time, we tighten the toe of the fabric in the shape of a shoe. The shoes are ready!

Now let's take care of the legs of our Christmas tree. To do this, cut off the sharp part of the skewers. We fasten three skewers with adhesive tape. At the bottom, you need to make a small extension so that the legs are better seized with plaster in the shoes. To do this, it is enough to fix pieces of sticks, foam or cardboard between skewers. For convenience, you can use elastic bands or threads. Wrap the legs with brown threads.

Do it yourself do-it-yourself

The next stage is the formation of the Christmas tree. From cardboard and paper, we make two cones and glue to each other. Paper from PVA glue gets wet quickly, and cardboard keeps the shape of our Christmas tree. Therefore, the denser the cardboard, the better. The cardboard cone can also be fastened with adhesive tape so that the Christmas tree is securely fixed.
We cut two circles according to the size of the lower circumference of the cone: one with a margin for fastening, the second from cardboard, to give the product density. Glue these two circles to each other. In the resulting part, we cut out two holes through which we thread the legs of the Christmas tree. At the top of the sticks can be fastened with an elastic band or thread to form a tilt.
We insert the workpiece into the shoes, carefully fill it with plaster. Hold for a while, until the plaster sets. And leave until completely solidified.
We notice approximately how high the Christmas tree will be. Inside we put cotton pads or paper so that the top of the legs can rest. Glue the finished cone to the bottom of the Christmas tree.
Next, we begin to decorate the cone itself. We coat it with glue, gluing around the thread. For convenience, we turn the finished product over and glue the tinsel. So our Christmas tree is ready. Now give free rein to your imagination so that the Christmas tree will sparkle with colors.
