We at EM ART would like to share with you how to create your own beautiful Christmas decoration.

Thanks to the wide range of materials suitable for Christmas decoration, we promise that you’ll be able to decorate your home in style, simply by following a few easy steps.

In a series of upcoming blog articles, we will present to you original DIY ideas on the theme of Christmas decoration.

 

The advantages of making your own decorations:

1. Handmade decorations are always unique because they carry the love and creativity of their maker.
2. You’ll turn your free time into a true hobby magic.
3. You’ll strengthen the bond with your children if you make the decorations together.

 

Today we’ll show you how to make a small Christmas tree by yourself — a symbol of the spirit of Christmas.

 

What does the Christmas tree symbolize?

 

• The top of the tree points upwards toward the sky and symbolizes the direction of human thoughts – toward the infinite heights.
• Its evergreen color is a symbol of the rebirth of life and represents the end of cold and winter.

 

• It is believed that with the birth of Jesus Christ, He brought a part of the beauty of the heavenly kingdom to Earth. From this belief comes the tradition of decorating the tree with Christmas balls and garlands, as a symbol of a paradise tree laden with fruit.
• The Christmas star placed on top of the tree symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem, which on the day of Christ’s birth guided the Three Wise Men to the place of His nativity.

 

Now that we’ve learned some of the main symbols of the Christmas tree, let’s roll up our sleeves and move on to the following simple steps:

 

Materials needed:

• Glue
• 1 styrofoam cone (I used a 180 mm one, but you can choose a different size)
• Glitter
• 6 sheets of white felt
• Pine cones
• Stamens
• Compass
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun
• Silicone glue sticks

 

Let’s get started!

1. Using a compass, draw circles with a diameter of 5 cm on the felt and cut them out with scissors.

     2. Cut the circles in half to get semicircles. You’ll need 105 circles, which will give you a total of 210 halves.

     3. To make one flower, you’ll need 10 halves. Sew them together as shown in the pictures.

 

 

    4. After sewing 10 halves in this way, use the hot glue gun to shape the rose.

 

Here is the beautiful little rose!

    5. Once all 21 flowers are ready, lightly apply glue to the tips and sprinkle with glitter.

    6. Glue the finished golden flowers onto the cone and decorate with pine cones, stamens, and any other materials you like.

    7. Once your tree is beautifully decorated, it’s time for the finishing touch — a lovely ribbon to place on the top of the tree (optionally, you can use a Christmas star instead).

 

And here it is — the beautiful Christmas Tree!
