Tree of happiness

Good afternoon, dear needlewomen! I want to share my skill with you, how at home from elementary things you can create an amazingly beautiful tree of happiness that will decorate your interior and give a pleasant feeling from the work done.

1. We make the basis for our tree. To do this, you need to form a dense ball from the newspaper, and so layer by layer we make a round "ball" of the size that you need. Then we wrap the last top layer with thin white (or some other light) paper, and tie it with threads to fix and keep our ball in a certain shape.

2. We prepare the main decorative elements - roses and leaflets. We cut out from a satin ribbon or from organza (these can be the remains of the fabric that remained from the sewing of the curtains) strips about 3-4 cm wide and 35-40 long.

The wider and longer the strip, the more the resulting rose. We bend one edge of the tape at an angle of 45 degrees, and we do the same movement again. This will be the future bud of our rose. Then we twist the tape 180 degrees from ourselves and twist it around the bud, then twist it again - we get another petal, etc. So we continue to form the petals to the end of the tape, and at the same time, with the help of a glue gun in the process, it is necessary to fix the leaves so that they do not break up in the future.

If you want to make a tree in the winter theme, then instead of leaves, you can use pieces of rain, Christmas tree branches, shiny flowers or petals from other decorative branches.

For everyday subjects, you can also make leaves from a satin ribbon of two green shades of similar color. To do this, cut out the leaves of the desired shape from the ribbon, and seal the edges above the burning candle so that they do not fray in the future.

3. We fix all decorative roses and leaflets with a glue gun on the prepared ball, and decorate to our taste with additional elements.

4. As a trunk, you can use various sticks, twigs or anything else that you find at hand. Also, with a pistol we fix it on the ball, after deepening it well. The other edge of the trunk is fixed with gypsum in an ordinary flower pot. If you need to decorate it, then do everything to your taste.

So it turned out a very original and beautiful tree of happiness. Create your masterpieces and decorate the house with great pleasure and excellent mood!
