DIY Christmas tree flowers

New Year's showcases in gift shops, the smell of tangerines and pine needles in the stairwells, the chime of a chiming clock and a sense of celebration and hope are inexorably approaching each new day of December. But for the New Year, you always want something special. Therefore, we propose to dilute the traditional sequins, tinsel and balls on the Christmas tree with unusual floral accents.

How to make simple flowers from paper to decorate the Christmas tree with your own hands

The most budgetary option for decorating is DIY flowers. You can make something very simple and unusual from colored paper, bright foil, or even old glossy magazines. It all depends on the imagination, the availability of free time and desire.

Simple unusual flower

Are needed:

  1. Paper blanks of different sizes in the same color scheme.
  2. Skewers or wire 15-20 cm long.
  3. Bright beads, stones, beads or sparkles for decoration.
  4. Glue.
  5. Pencil.
  6. Scissors with thin sharp edges.

Fold the paper in a pile, forming rectangles 5 cm by 6 cm in size. Draw and cut the blanks in the shape of a petal - round, oval: or as your fantasy tells you. Carefully wind the petals onto the adhesive base of the skewer or wire. Press firmly, allow to dry. Then attach the next layer with larger petals.

Form a flower with your hands, arching, bending or stretching each of the petals. You can twist them on scissors or a pencil. The bottom layer is leaflets: necessarily green or contrasting to the main color. Sprinkle the finished flower with sparkles, decorate with beads or stones.

TIP. Corrugated paper is easier to work with. You need to choosethicker sheets. They hold their shape better.

Poinsettia from paper.The tools are the same.

Based on one flower: bright-colored corrugated paper blanks: the more the better. You can take large squares of 12 cm by 12 cm - 6 pieces.

Gift ribbon or braid in silver or gold.

The bottom layer is 3 squares of the same size, the color is contrasting (leaves).

Fold the cut squares with an accordion. The direction of movement is diagonal, starting from the center. Fasten in the center with a golden braid. Scissors twist them in a spiral. Neatly straighten or wrap the petals, depending on the author’s concept. Spread the petals to make a flower. Leaves are sharp. Beads, stones, sequins or rhinestones glued closer to the middle will add New Year's entourage.

The paper can be replaced with a floral grid. The principle of operation will remain the same.

Christmas tree decoration with a garland of flowers

The arrangement of flowers instead of a garland looks beautiful and unusual on the Christmas tree.

IMPORTANT! Designers are advised to follow the rules:

  • observe a sense of style;

  • to observe a sense of proportion and harmony in the color scheme;

  • consider the size and texture of the flower material.

Attach flower garlands to the base in the form of a ribbon or floral grid. They are placed in a spiral, in a checkerboard pattern, in a circular style, vertically, randomly or with a “solid blanket”.

Winning compositions:

  1. Translucent ribbons blend perfectly with delicate pink colors. Silver toys and tinsel complement the splendor.
  2. Red flower garland is combined with noble green and gold in the design of toys. For her use roses, carnations or peonies.
  3. If the choice fell on a poinsettia, large flowers are spectacular in a checkerboard pattern, shaded by large squares of ribbons. Use this design on artificial Christmas trees.
  4. Fresh solution - roses or peonies of delicate shades: pink peach and white can be diluted with bright yellow.
  5. A large tulle garland is combined with larger single open buds. The color of the mood is bright!

Christmas tree decoration with artificial flowers

The most ingenious design decision. For decoration use a bud or flower with almost no legs. The flower is attached to a piece of felt using a glue gun. To fix on the Christmas tree take a hair clip. You can use paper clips or other accessories for Christmas tree decorations.

The tenderness of a flower bud, white or silver fringe of artificial spruce are beautifully combined. The composition will be complemented by silver lights on the Christmas tree with noble crystal lights.

Features of decorating the Christmas tree with fresh flowers

Garlands of fresh New Year's flowers on the Christmas tree with your own hands will dilute the coniferous-tangerine notes of the usual New Year aromas with the delicate smell of magic and mystery.

For such an decoration, flowers are advised to pre-prepare:

  • It is necessary to hold the buds in water with the addition of aspirin.
  • Immediately before the garland is formed, wrap the shortened stalk in a damp cloth or cloth.
  • Humidity in a room with a live garland on spruce need to be maintained very high at a minimum comfortable temperature. Such a microclimate will help to keep cut flowers for several days.

You can use flowers of any kind, color and size, but experts advise you to choose lilies, gerberas, freesia or orchids. They last longer than roses or carnations. It is better to remove or replace withered buds before the celebration. A significant drawback of such floral splendor is the price and fragility.

TIP: Alternatively, you can create a floral-spruce Christmas composition for decorating the table by placing the plants in a nutrient substrate. This floral splendor will last longer than a living garland.

May in the upcoming New Year the floral splendor on the Christmas tree preserve the New Year's mood, the atmosphere of comfort and family holiday for a long time!
