Hello dear internet friends! I hope they are fine! As you know, we are in the most beautiful time of the year and we are in full decoration of the house, and I have been inspired to make new decorations for the doors of the rooms and the bathroom, so today I would like to teach you how to make this beautiful Christmas tree using only mirror cardboard and frosted foam. I hope you like it!
Materiales: / Materials:
Cartulina espejo del color de tu preferencia. (yo usé color dorado esta vez, pero también lo fabriqué con colores verde y plateado)
Foami escarchado de los colores de tu preferencia (yo usé dorado, plateado, verde, rojo, morado y blanco.
Silicón líquido.
Un lápiz o portaminas.
Tijeras.
English:
Mirror cardboard in the color of your choice. (I used gold this time, but I also made it with green and purple and silver colors)
Frosted foami in the colors of your choice (I used gold, silver, green, red and white).
Liquid silicone.
A pencil or mechanical pencil.
Scissors.
Procedimiento: / Process:
1. We start by drawing our tree on the cardboard and then we cut it, you have to do it carefully since it is a hard cardboard and a bit difficult to cut.
2. Then we take the frosted gold foami and draw the star for the Tree top and cut it out, I preferred not to make it so perfect but, if you prefer, you can use a star template. Once we have it, we can paste it on the top of our Tree, however I preferred to pay it later to be able to move it better.
Then we cut 3 strips in the shape of fine crescents with frosted foam, and then we glued them to the inside of our tree to make the ribbons where the Christmas balls will be glued, in this case I used white but you can use the color you prefer, I did 3 rows in total.
Once this is done, we begin with the elaboration of the colored frosted foami Christmas balls. I put 9 more or less large on my tree but they can be the quantity and size of your preference. so we started drawing the circles on the back of the foami and then cut, once cut I arranged them on the Tree without gluing them yet to make sure they were the correct size. I also took advantage of sticking the star on the top.
Then we began to make frosted foam figures to decorate the Christmas balls, you can draw them on the back of the foam to make it easier to cut them and you can make the Christmas figures that you like the most, for example I made Christmas bells, mistletoe, Christmas trees , among other things so you can let your imagination run wild. Once we have them ready, we proceed to stick them on each Christmas balls. I also cut out these little hats to stick them on top of each Christmas ball, because that way they can be stuck on the tree's ribbons without needing to glue each one on the tree.
Once ready, we proceed to glue them to the tree, using liquid silicone, we put a little on each end of the hat and then we glue it on the tape, it is not recommended to glue them on the tree because they lose looseness, it is also better to glue the ribbons only on the corners. Once pasted they will look like this:
To finish, I made small bows in red and green to decorate the tips of the tree without making it look overdone, if you wish you can make them bigger and in the colors you prefer but I used these colors because I think they look better on a gold background. Once the little bows are cut, we glue them on the ends and thus we finish our tree.
Once finished, I glued it to my bedroom door with other decorations such as a Santa Claus figurine I bought several years ago, and also some gold and silver angels and ice crystals I made several years ago, and some snowmen from origami that I also made years ago. You can also put other figures of your choice on the tree, for example I made a snowman with frosty foam and I stuck it in the center, but you can put what you like best. In addition to this tree, I also made 2 more in silver and green and this was the final decoration:
As you can see, it is a fairly simple and fun ornament to make which you can place wherever you want to decorate. In this season, let your creativity fly by making beautiful details for your decoration. Personally, I am also making small figures similar to those of the scenes to decorate other places. You can protect the frost on the foami by applying white glue with a brush and when it dries it looks brighter, and it will prevent the frost from falling off.
