For making wood you will need the following tools and components:
a) a piece of copper stranded power wire, 200-250 mm long, the more wire there is, the better. Optimal diameter beam 5-8 mm.
b) a wallpaper knife or scalpel, or a blade for removing insulation from a wire,
c) tweezers, to give the desired shape to the formed branches,
d) scissors, for cutting branches to the required length,
e) paints, nitro varnish, hairspray, brush, small sawdust, foam crumb powder, photo or drawing of a type of tree.
Stripped of isolation stranded power wire. Too much long length should not be used, as it will be difficult to work with, and the excess will simply go to waste!
Stepping back from one of the edges 20-30 mm, we wind the coil to the coil there will be a root system a 3-5 mm wire, here we have it, and this lock is needed so that the future barrel does not unwind.
Holding the end of the wire at the level of the latch with the fingers of one hand, with the other hand twist the wire along the axis . This is done to stiffen the trunk.
Depending on the type of tree chosen, we begin to form branches by bending 6-8 wires to the side and immediately twisting them, as we did with the trunk. At the level of the first, lower branches, it is advisable to install another wire bandage, as we did at the root. No more bandages should be installed.
Bending back required quantity future branches, make 1-2 turns of the trunk along the axis. Thereby We fix the trunk and prepare a place for new branches.
As the wires move to the sides, the thickness of the trunk decreases, there is nothing terrible about this, and if more branches are needed, then simply insert pieces of wires either into the middle of the trunk, or into a bundle for a future branch, twisting 5-10 mm at the base of the trunk.
Thus, we have it turned out to be a shaggy “hedgehog” made of wire.
Now let's begin form the branches themselves, twisting the wires along their axis and moving them to the sides.
Periodically looking at the photo or a picture of a tree, or just one growing under a window, we decide on their size.
It should be remembered that fruit trees usually short, and representatives of forested areas and lonely standing trees usually tall.
Method changes in the angle of deflection of branches, using tweezers, you can shape the type of future tree . Willow, for example, has long branches and hang down in strands; oak branches extend from the trunk almost perpendicular to the trunk, just like spruce. Birch, depending on its type, can hang down like a willow.
Having finished forming the branches, let's move on to the root system. To do this, bend 2-4 wires from the wire bandage in all directions and twist them. If you need a central fastener, then simply twist 4-6 wires and do not trim them. With this pin, the tree is subsequently attached to the layout. And I myself root system cut in circles with scissors.
Now Let's move on to the length of the branches. Near the ground, and this is the first bottom row, they either almost touch the ground or do not reach it. I repeat, it all depends on the type of wood chosen! But the cutting of wire branches begins from the bottom, smoothly moving to the crown. Now the wire bands can be carefully removed from the trunk. They have already done their job and are no longer needed!
It takes about 15-20 minutes.
Next we move on to priming the wood frame. This is necessary to hide the metallic shine of the wires and ensure uniform coloring of the final color. It is better to use primer in an aerosol can, as it can be inconvenient to paint with a brush, and the layer turns out smoother.
Let the primed wood dry. Now let's apply final bark color. There is one subtlety here! If the bark of a smooth-bore tree is like that of willow, birch, poplar, rowan, or alder, then the final layer can be safely applied. And if the trunk is rough, like pine, oak, linden, then mix small sawdust with PVA glue or nitro varnish and apply it with a brush. visible part trunk and thick branches. Sawdust can be pre-painted in the desired tone. Sawdust can be replaced with gypsum, chalk, but diluted dry in nitro varnish or thick PVA.
Let the trunk dry again. And only after we have finished with the barrel, and are satisfied with its appearance, do we move on to tree landscaping.
Most the best option buy ready-made foam powder. But if you don’t have one, you can do it yourself! To do this, we take foam rubber and pass it several times through a regular meat grinder of the “organ organ” type; I don’t recommend using an electric one, the speeds are high, and the foam rubber can simply burn. You can simply use a brush-type attachment on a drill at low speeds, lightly touching the foam rubber to destroy the surface. Thus, we obtain deciduous material.
Let's move on to coloring of leaf material. It is better to use aniline dyes or gouache, or those that are diluted with water. Dry the leaves on newspaper, lightly squeezing out the lump. In an even layer, spreading on a flat surface.
Back to tree trunk. Apply a thin layer of nitro varnish, or tsaponlak, to the branches with a brush, and, without allowing it to dry, dip or sprinkle the branches with foam rubber powder. Not a lot of leaves will stick the first time! Let it dry, and use a brush to apply nitro varnish to bare areas, and sprinkle again.
We examine the tree from all sides, and where appearance There is not enough foliage, again we compensate for the shortcomings with nitro varnish and powder. There is no need to try to wet the foliage with varnish too much, it will be ugly! Let it stick, let it stick! We can add a portion of powder to the places we need and fix everything with hairspray. We spray varnish from a distance of 250-350 mm, constantly slowly twisting the wood. Before our eyes, the foliage seems to bloom on the tree, takes the desired shape and is fixed on the tree. It is better to use the cheapest hairspray, but with a strong hold.
Let the finished wood dry. You can, of course, leave it like this, but over time, under the influence of light and air humidity, hairspray loses its properties, and so that the tree does not lose its foliage, it is necessary cover it with nitro varnish from an aerosol can, as we did when working with hairspray.
Finished tree install on the layout. If it has a central fastening pin, drill a hole suitable diameter and fix it with glue, if it’s on the root system, just lubricate the lower part of the root with glue and install it on the model.
Better when making trees immediately make the required amount, and your hand gets busy, and operations are much easier and faster.
Beautiful volumetric tree It's not at all difficult to make from paper. Follow the instructions, use the template provided, and you will get a branchy, lush crown, a real chic tree.
Download the template from the link or draw any tree with branches in the area of roots and crown. It is important that both sides of the tree are completely symmetrical. Therefore, if you decide to draw your own version of a tree, fold the paper in half, draw one part of the tree, cut it out and you will get absolutely identical sides.
Cut out 4 blanks according to the template from brown cardboard.
Fold each one in half exactly in the middle.
And then begin assembling the plant into a single whole. To do this, first glue 2 blanks in the area of the bent halves, and then two more. You need to glue everything, branches and roots, but for now only use one bent half.
You will now have almost a tree, even two. But the work is not finished here, because we need a lush and voluminous paper tree.
Therefore, glue both parts together in the area of the remaining sides.
The result is a fairly dense and very stable tree. It is a little gloomy, but, in principle, like all trees without leaves. But this can be fixed.
Draw a small leaf of the desired shape. It can be oblong, round, absolutely anything. You might prefer to do autumn tree, and for this, replace the green paper with yellow and orange. Fold the paper from which you will cut the leaves into an accordion, and then double this accordion, and cut out many leaves at once.
Glue them to the tree, on each branch, wherever there are large voids, to create a lush and spreading crown. The volumetric paper tree is ready.

How to make deciduous trees yourself.
Now on sale there are very big choice trees, but if you want to make your layout more original and you have time, then you can make the trees yourself.
We will tell you how to make deciduous trees yourself, at home, spending a minimum of money and a little time. Like these ones beautiful trees we will succeed in the end.
For work we will need: fine wire, a sponge for washing dishes or ordinary foam rubber, any lid or cardboard on which we will wind our wire, pliers that are usually used in beading and green paint different shades.
We wind the wire around the lid. For one tree, approximately 8-10 cm high, one coil is enough. But if you want a thicker trunk and a more branchy tree, then you can use more wire. Having wound the wire in this way, cut it at one end. Let's straighten it out.
Below we leave a centimeter and a half - two for the roots. They will continue to serve as a stand for our tree. Next, we begin to shape the tree trunk by twisting it with pliers in one direction, as in the photo.
At the bottom we straightened the roots, twisting several wires into one. Next, we begin to form our crown, starting with the lower branches. To do this, separate a bundle of 6-7 wires and twist it in a spiral until about halfway. Next, we divide our wires in half and continue to twist them separately.
Then on each branch we leave one alone, and then twist two at a time. This is how it is shown in the photo. Using the same principle, we make 3-4 more lower branches. So that the branches of the second tier do not come into contact with the branches of the lower tier, we scroll the trunk up a little more.
We make a second tier of branches, scroll the trunk again and form the top in the same way as we did the rest of the branches. This is what we should get.
And this is the skeleton of the future birch tree.
Next, we thickly coat our wood with PVA glue. Glue in in this case plays the role of a primer, thanks to which our future painting of the trunk and branches will be easy and pleasant. Here is our tree completely covered with PVA glue (as if covered with snow). Leave it until completely dry, about 2-3 hours. As soon as the tree is completely dry, we begin to paint it. We paint the trunk and branches either with brown acrylic, or, if it is a birch, with light gray with black dots.
Next we paint our future crown. For this purpose, we took a dishwashing sponge and plain white foam. Pour some water into a bowl and add some acrylic paint different shades. Here you can experiment with shades. If you need summer trees, then we use lighter shades of green, we need autumn leaves more dark colors and with a brush we apply shades of red, yellow, etc. Wrinkle the sponge in water so that it colors evenly. We wet the sponge again and, without squeezing, apply paint to the sponge with a brush: first with one shade, then with another, then with a third. It is enough to apply a little paint on one side.
And then we just knead it in our hands, putting a glove or plastic on our hand. The sponge, as you can see, is colored unevenly, which is what we need. Since the sponge was yellow, it gave us an extra shade of yellow. This is what we got. We squeeze out excess water from our sponge and place it on a radiator or other surface until completely dry. A different shade was obtained by dyeing ordinary white foam rubber. As you can see, this one is greener. The first, lighter sponge was used as foliage for the birch tree.
Next, we dip our tree in PVA glue or coat the branches with a brush and lower them into the crumbled foliage. And so on every branch. Then let it dry, shake off what didn’t stick. Then we apply glue to the branches again, but not with a brush, but simply drip a drop at a time from the bottle and add a little crumbly and again until completely dry. And so on several times.
Here is a birch tree after the first dip.
A stand was made for each tree, this is for display. We cut out mugs from packaging cardboard. We glued the trees to the base using a glue gun. We use it to glue the trees to the model. From the same crumble they made grass. You can add flowers from any material available to you.
They made a nest on one of the sisal trees.
These are the beautiful trees we got!
Hello dear craftswomen! Today I present to you how to make tree models with your own hands. I never thought that I would have to do this. The fact is that such trees were ordered for me by my dad, who makes models of Temples and churches. I promised to promise, but I don’t know how to do it! But the promise is made - it must be fulfilled. I found the video and got to work. The video on which I made my trees can be viewed here - http://yandex.ru/video/search?filmId=1IwlFm7AUXI&text=%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%BA... . I decided to show you how I made them, especially since very often, either at school or in kindergarten, they ask you to make some kind of craft on a particular topic, and then my MK and the author’s video will certainly help you in this matter.
I got this tree and a few more. I’ll be honest: I didn’t think that making trees would be so exciting. Dad asked for two trees, I got carried away and made 4.
For work we will need: fine wire, a sponge for washing dishes or ordinary foam rubber, any lid or cardboard on which we will wind our wire, pliers that are usually used in beading and green paint of different shades.
We wind the wire around the lid. For one tree, approximately 8-10 m high, one coil is enough. But if you want a thicker trunk and a more branchy tree, then you can use more wire. Having wound the wire in this way, cut it at one end.
Let's straighten it out.
Below we leave a centimeter and a half - two for the roots. They will continue to serve as a stand for our tree.
At the bottom we straightened the roots, twisting several wires into one. Next, we begin to form our crown, starting with the lower branches. To do this, separate 6-7 wires from the clouds and twist them in a spiral until about halfway. Next, we divide our wires in half and continue to twist them separately.
Then on each branch we leave one alone, and then twist two at a time. This is how it is shown in the photo.
Using the same principle, we make 3-4 more lower branches.
So that the branches of the second tier do not come into contact with the branches of the lower tier, we scroll the trunk up a little more.
We make a second tier of branches, scroll the trunk again and form the top in the same way as we did the rest of the branches. This is what we should get.
And this is the skeleton of the future birch tree.
Here is our tree completely covered with PVA glue (as if covered with snow. We leave our tree until completely dry, for about 2-3 hours. As soon as our tree is completely dry, we begin to paint it. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo of the painting process, but you can see it in the video. There is nothing complicated here. We paint the trunk and branches either with brown acrylic, or, if it is a birch, with light gray with black dots.
Next we paint our future crown. For this purpose, I took a dishwashing sponge and plain white foam. I poured some water into a bowl and added some acrylic paint in different shades. I squashed it in water so that the sponge colored evenly.
She wet the sponge again and, without squeezing it out, began applying paint to the sponge with a brush: first with one shade, then with another, then with a third. It is enough to apply a little paint on one side.
And then just squeeze it in your hand, putting a glove or plastic on your hand. The sponge, as you can see, is colored unevenly, which is what we need. Since the sponge was yellow, it gave us an extra shade of yellow. This is what we got.
We squeeze out excess water from our sponge and place it on the battery until completely dry.
And this shade was obtained by dyeing ordinary white foam rubber. As you can see, this one is greener. The first, lighter sponge was used as foliage for the birch tree.
dipped in crumbs. And so on every branch. Then she let it dry, shook off what didn’t stick. Then she applied glue to the branches again, but not with a brush, but simply dripped drops from the bottle and added little by little crumbs and again until completely dry. And so on several times. This is of course more troublesome, so it is better to do as the author advises.
For children's games, it is interesting to make a large three-dimensional tree out of cardboard with your own hands. This can be a product made of corrugated material, compressed paper, fabric, or balloons. We’ll also fantasize about this topic, teach you how to cut out a template and assemble trees that can be placed in the middle of the room. We also recommend that you big tree or game room at home or in kindergarten.
Children can a big tree decorate with leaves and flowers, plant birds on branches and install birdhouses. We'll show you how you can decorate it. There are also decorative samples. They can decorate entrance or interior doors. For such a do-it-yourself three-dimensional cardboard tree, you will need many additional elements.
To create such a branched tree, you will need a piece corrugated cardboard, a simple pencil and large scissors or a sharp knife. You need to divide the sheet into two equal parts. On one side they draw a trunk, a wide stand at the bottom and several branches. All this is cut along the contour with scissors. Then the cut out template must be attached to the second half and outlined with a pencil. The barrel and stand must match exactly. Branches may be different.
In order for a three-dimensional tree to stand stably, you need to draw a line in the middle on one part. The trunk is cut along it from top to center. On the other part, on the contrary, along the drawn line, a cut is made from below to the center. In order for the two parts to connect freely, the cut lines should be equal to the thickness of the cardboard, approximately 0.5 cm.
All that remains is to put the parts together by putting one part on top of the other. From below, all stands must be at the same level so that the product stands firmly and does not wobble. When the main part of the work is prepared, you can start decorating the branches. The guys will do this.
To decorate a three-dimensional cardboard tree with your own hands, you need to cut out a lot of leaves and glue them to the branches. If the tree will be used in a kindergarten or other institutions, and for different cases, then it is better if decorative elements will be removable. Pay attention to the photo below. All the leaves hang on threads, and the lush green crown is generally represented by wide satin ribbons that hang in coils from the ceiling tiles. You can also string all the leaves onto a long rope and hang them on the branches like a garland.
Larger items, such as a birdhouse or an owl perched on a branch, can be secured with staples or paper clips. Then the elements can be easily removed and put in a box for the next holidays.
For such a voluminous tree made of cardboard with your own hands, the template that you see in the photo below is quite simple to build. The tree is made in the same way as the previous tree. But the pattern shows the lines of the central cuts for assembling the structure. This general principle making three-dimensional crafts. After all, in this way you can make a whole forest of spruce and deciduous trees, for example, for board games or for display puppet theater. Children love such entertainment very much. Small products can be made from thick cardboard. The crown can be represented by a simple circle.
If you made such a voluminous tree to decorate a group kindergarten, then you need to cover it with green colored paper, each child can make a Christmas tree toy and hang it on the branches using a paper clip. This is an excellent replacement for store-bought balls and living beauty. Needles will not fall on the floor, and children will learn from childhood to take care of wildlife and do not damage the trees.
To ensure that the tree stands firmly on the floor surface, do not forget to add a stand at the bottom of the template, expanding the trunk at an angle.
In a kindergarten or in an art studio where children are engaged in creativity, you can decorate entrance doors such interesting craft. It's voluminous Blooming tree from cardboard on which bird nests are made from plastic or paper disposable plates. This composition looks very interesting and is easy to make. To make the tree stand out against the background of the white door, first glue the background blue color. This is heaven. Next, the trunk and branches are made from brown compressed paper. The plates are cut in half, you can evenly, more beautifully with notches, as in the photo. These are nests in which little chicks wait for their parents. The picture is very symbolic for the premises of the kindergarten. After all, there, too, children eagerly await their parents. The chicks are made from plastic spoons painted black.
The eyes and beak can be made with applique. Children also make flowers with leaves and place them throughout the tree. There is grass glued to the bottom of the door. To make the lawn with flowers also voluminous, the edges are cut and curled a little with a pencil.
Nowadays, many hand-made artists are fond of quilling. This is curling strips of paper. This method was also used to create such an unusual three-dimensional tree. The craft master class is described below.
This kind of decoration tree, made with your own hands from cardboard, can be placed in the form of a picture on the wall. First, they make a background and glue on a simple, even tree trunk. Grass grows below the tree. It is cut into strips and decorated with large flowers. The free space of the blue sky can be filled with flying birds or butterflies.
A crown made of balls adds volume to the tree itself. different color. If this is an autumn tree made of paper and cardboard, then add it to the green balls a small amount of yellow or orange.
You can also decorate the room with a symbolic image of a tree made from branches attached to the wall. They can be laid out in a ladder in increasing order, similar to a Christmas tree, or you can do it differently by making a shape deciduous tree. Leaves cut out of colored paper are attached to each branch with buttons. In our photo the leaves are yellow, it is clear that an autumn tree is depicted, which means that mushrooms can be placed under it.
The article presents only a few options for making three-dimensional wood for decorating rooms. After looking at the template, you can make a similar version by adding your own creative ideas. Create with your children!
