Good afternoon - today we will make a beautiful pine cone to decorate the New Year tree. I will show you step-by-step master class, and will also give ideas for alternative techniques for making an artificial New Year's cone. I will also show you that you can make ordinary forest cones (pine or spruce) to decorate your home for the New Year.
So let's get started.
We will need:
WHAT TO DO:
The process is very simple. You need to stick sequin mugs in ALTERNATING ROWS on a foam egg using pins. You need to start from the tapered end foam blank.
We overlap each row over the previous one. So that the lower circles are almost covered halfway with the top. And scales-circles need to be placed with offset... that is, the CENTER points of the top row should be opposite the EDGES of the bottom circles (like the scales of a fish).
If you use PACKAGING gift paper , then we will get an original cone with patterned scales. Or you can use circles cut out from bright postcards.
And pay attention to the photo below - you can cut the scales into an OVAL shape... and you also get a beautiful cone
You can also use dried WATERMELON RINDS... if in August you collected all the watermelon rinds and dried them in the oven and poured them into a jar... then you have ready-made craft material for making a cone with your own hands. And you don’t have to worry about cutting out the cone scales with scissors.
But these New Year's cones from felt are also easy to make with your own hands.
If you look closely at the photo below, you will see that the lump is sucking from 20 flat pancake flowers– 10 brown and 10 white.
These flowers are superimposed on each other(like a stack of pancakes)… and from the fact that towards the very end of the cone there are smaller flowers... then our stack tapers towards the bottom, forming an oval pine cone.
The rows, as you can see, alternate - white - brown - white - brown, etc.
In the middle of the cone are the largest petal flowers... at the top (at the tail of the cone) there are medium-sized flowers - towards the tip of the cone the size of the flowers becomes smaller and smaller.
It’s simple - estimate the size... cut 20 flat flowers - and string them onto beads on a thread... alternating sizes so that the cone either expands or narrows towards its tip.
And we get a beautiful lush bump... self made... made with your own hands. Is not that great?
But below in the photo we see the idea when the CONE SCALES look like squares of a paper napkin (or fabric) folded 4 times.
That is, we outline the size of the future scale (for example, 1 cm by 1 cm) ... and make fabric blanks.
The blanks will be SQUARE FLAPS - whose size will be the following: so that when folded in half and in half again you get a square 1x1 cm. That is, we need 2x2 cm flaps.... fold them in half and then in half again. – we get a folded neat “handkerchief”... You need to make many, many such handkerchiefs.
And now that we have all the SCALES ready for the future bump. Us need to find a blank blank to which we will glue these scales...
The blank can be a FOAM BALL(or FOAM EGG) - it is sold in any craft store or on the Internet - the product is called “ foam ball"(search in Google\Yandex) - it costs, depending on the size, from 0.5 dollars and more...
The blank can be a BALL OR OVAL MADE FROM FELT. Just take some craft felt + a bowl of soapy water. We put the felt in soapy water - take it out - and roll the ball in our palms (as if it were plasticine), the soapy wet felt rolls very well into any shape we need. The harder we press our palms, the harder and denser the felt blank for our New Year's cone turns out to be.
The blank can be a BLANK MADE FROM WOOL AND BANDAGES... We take ordinary cotton wool... (we buy cotton wool in a pharmacy in one lump)... we take this lump and give it an oval or round shape- and fix it with a wrap of bandage (we make something like an oval mummy) ... then we moisten it all with PVA glue ... to make it harder and denser ... dry it for one night ... And an excellent blank is ready for gluing fabric scales.
Or we can use ordinary forest cones to implement interesting New Year's ideas by decor.
From the cones you can make a garland(to hang above the fireplace, or on the wall).
We buy threaded hooks... we drill a hole in the cone and screw the hook into it. Using these hooks we hang the cones on a rope. You can also add an LED New Year's garland to the same pine cone garland - just intertwine it with a rope.
Or you can put the cones in a beautiful basket ... decorate the center of the basket with a bow... add a garland there (place it so that the lights mix with the pine cones) - we get a cute New Year's lamp from cones.
You can simply paint the cones different colors ... and arrange them beautifully in a vase.
Can be made from a pine cone Christmas tree decoration... Tie a bright ribbon in the form of a bow... attach a string on which we will hang the pine cone on the Christmas tree.
Or you can make a composition of two cones - tie them together... and make an imitation of SNOW - coat the scales with glue and sprinkle with white sprinkles (this can be sparkling white powder for manicure... or semolina).
Can buy transparent christmas ball and throw some pine cone scales into it...
Or make a Christmas tree FROM CONE SCALES... unhook the scales from the cone with pliers... make a cone of thick paper... and row by row (starting from the bottom) we paste the paper cone with these scales. It turns out christmas tree from cones.
And since we touched on the topic of crafts in the form of Christmas trees, here are some more ideas for Christmas trees made from pine cones.
You can place the opened cone in a small pot or glass... decorate it with beads, a ribbon, and a star on top.
These cones can be painted with paint... and the cone itself can be glued to a base made of a cotton pad...
You can make a Christmas tree from pine cones also on the base paper cone... which is pasted over with pine cones using a glue gun. In addition to cones, you can stick various other materials onto the cone (left photo below)
You can make a FIRST-STACK... this is when the tiers of our pyramid are stacked on top of each other... A layer of vase napkin and a ring of pine cones (we put cotton wool or paper in the middle of the ring)... on top again is a knitted napkin... and again a ring of pine cones... and so on... Each new one the tier should be SMALLER in CIRCLE than the bottom one... so that the Christmas tree tapers towards its top (right photo below)
You can also make New Year's wreaths from pine cones. - for home decoration. I will show you in detail how to make a base for wreaths from tape and old newspaper in a special article.
And here below you see what design you can come up with for a wreath of pine cones...
You can arrange the cones ALTERNATELY with the acorns (left photo below)
You can stick pine cones CHAOTICALLY onto a wreath blank (right photo below)
You can arrange the cones in such a way (and glue them together) to create the OUTLINE OF A SNOWFLAKE (left photo below)
Or you can arrange the pine cones in one CIRCULAR direction... like a spiral vortex (right photo below)
These are the ideas for creating a NEW YEAR'S CONE to decorate the Christmas tree... and ideas for DECOR FROM FOREST CONES.
AND ALSO to New Year's table you can make a DELICIOUS SALAD - also in the form of a cone. The filling of salad mounds can be anything (either peas or corn). But then, when two salad heaps are laid side by side in the shape of OVAL HILLS... you just need to STICK them with ALMONDS... add a couple of sprigs of thyme and your salad in the shape of New Year's cones is ready.
These are the ideas for the New Year.
Good luck to you and happy holidays.

Happy New Year to the author of this article, Olga Klishevskaya.
If you dream of being in a fairy tale, take a walk through the winter forest! There is sparkling snow everywhere, and every tree is dressed with frost, through which the evergreen needles can be barely visible. In order for a piece of this magic - a cedar cone on a fluffy branch - to appear in your home, you will need the most ordinary things: a set of colored paper, scissors, PVA glue, a living twig, and most importantly - patience.
Let's start making our New Year's crafts with a pine cone. Its volumetric parts are glued onto a round base (d = 6-7 cm). If you don’t have a compass, you can cut a circle around the glass and mark the center by slightly bending the base in four.
Each petal of the cone is a small bag glued together from a square of colored paper measuring 5x5 cm. You will need 67 such squares. To make your craft bright and festive, the petals can be made multi-colored. Elements made of paper with a metallic effect will look very elegant on a New Year's toy.
Glue 8 petals onto the round base so that there is some free space between them. It should be slightly narrower than the width of the petal.
Each subsequent layer of the cone is glued in a checkerboard pattern: one part of the new layer between two parts of the previous one. If the cone is colored, you can alternate the color of entire layers or adjacent bags in one layer.
It is unlikely that all 8 petals will fit into the lowest tier. Glue 3-4 pieces there so that the nose of the pine cone is sharp.
The craft is almost ready! But turning it over to the correct position, we will see that the top remains completely unprocessed.
To make the cone even more like the real one, from small bags of green or Brown Let's glue a hat for her. The thread needs to be threaded through it even before it ends up on the pine cone.
A small decorative twig will give our pine cone the charm of a coniferous forest.
All that remains is to glue the cap to the round base. To make their surfaces better grip, you can glue a cone with a round bottom into the free space inside the cap.
In nature, cones fall from branches, and we will put it on! A branch of any tree will do, not necessarily a coniferous one. You can also use thick metal wire, but on a living branch the craft will turn out more elegant.
Before this makeshift tree grows big boss, let's attach several small ones to it.
Take strips of brown paper (about 4 cm wide), wide at one end and narrow at the other.
On the wide side you need to cut small fringes, and on the narrow side large ones, making a triangular corner on each wide “needle”.
We roll up the strips and see how before our eyes they turn into small, but almost living bumps!
Maybe you've seen how artificial spruce trees are made? Green fringe is wound onto the twigs - and the wire takes on the appearance of fluffy pine needles. You need to do the same: first, cut the green paper into strips 4 cm wide.
Fold the strips in half lengthwise and mark their middle. Cut a fairly fine fringe from both edges.
Spread the twig with glue and wrap it with the resulting pine needles.
New Year decoration homemade, handmade, create a very special atmosphere. This is the feeling of a holiday for which we were preparing, waiting for, and for which we spare no time.
Manufacturing New Year's toys and accessories with your own hands can be a good family tradition. After all, this Long procces, when you can get together in the evenings or weekends - and create together. Funny jokes, cozy conversations and, most importantly, what you can’t do without real family- a joint venture. Participate in the creation of New Year's toys for the Christmas tree in 2019, one of the most different materials Everyone can do it - both adults and children, even the smallest ones. You just need to choose the appropriate options and ideas.
And when the holiday is over, put your handmade creations in boxes. Then, until the next New Year, you can sometimes look at them and remember how fun it was to do all this.
Perhaps the simplest toys are New Year's decorations made of paper. You only need scissors, a little glue and maximum imagination to make, for example, a beautiful garland. 
A chain of snowflakes, decorated with large decorative beads, can become a decoration in 2019 not only for the Christmas tree, but also for the children's room. Fold a sheet of paper several times and cut out the shape of a snowflake. Then they unfold. Many of these parts are held together with glue. The length of the garland can be any.
A ring made of colored paper will look impressive on a large Christmas tree if it itself is large. Everything happens according to the following scheme:
In families where children have already grown up, a lot of old toys often accumulate - soft, plastic, wooden. Why should they gather dust in the closet if you can come up with new ideas and make original jewelry for the Christmas tree? 
Toys can be darned a little, tinted, decorated with beads or rhinestones. Then attach ribbons to them and hang them on the tree.
Santa Claus can be different. Paper too! Any ideas are welcome in 2019.
Here is one of them:
“Grandfather’s” ideas can be different!
For example, you can make it in the shape of a cylinder. A large or not very large sheet of colored cardboard is bent to form a pipe. The cap is formed red. And along its lower edge a strip is attached white. The eyes are cut out of paper, the beard can be made of cotton wool. The nose is made of a foam ball. If you attach legs to the “grandfather”, he will sit very well near the Christmas tree in 2019. 
This Santa Claus would work great from felt or other suitable materials.
There are very simple options for the Christmas tree 2019. Thus, a garland of corrugated colored paper can be made in just a few minutes. The main thing is to know the technology.
We simply cut the material into narrow strips and then twist it to form individual segments. And so on ad infinitum. We glue the parts together. This is a very delicate decoration. 
Other ideas - cut corrugated paper to wide stripes. Make a fringe along both edges. And then just twist it a little. 
A little more complicated is a garland of colored circles. You can buy such large confetti in the store. They are folded in half around a thread or fishing line and glued together. 
Whatever is at hand is used! Colored napkins transform before your eyes and turn into bright bouquets. 
To do this, fold each napkin several times, and then give any shape to the “petals.” They are fastened in the middle with a stapler and straightened. You can combine two napkins of different colors. When a lot of blanks have accumulated, they are strung on a thread - a garland is obtained.
In addition to garlands, you can make many different things from napkins. New Year's crafts, for example, a Christmas tree. It is very simple to make and anyone can handle such a Christmas tree.
You can make garlands from anything. For example, from fabric triangles. Or from felt squares. Or from old small soft toys.
And even popcorn mixed with beads! You can tie together a lot of sweets in a beautiful wrapper with bright ribbons. 
Remnants of wallpaper preserved after renovation are suitable as a material. They can be cut into strips, which are then glued into rings, inserting one into the other. 
Lovers of crocheting or knitting can use their skills to create Christmas tree decorations on a grand scale. Various knitted items are in fashion in 2019. The ideas are simply fascinating.
Knitted snowflakes from leftover yarn can be collected into a garland and hung, for example, on a window. 
They knit various animals for the Christmas tree, including the symbol of 2019 - the Pig. Knitted Santa Clauses and Snow Maidens are good. Or you can knit the Christmas tree itself.
What kind Christmas tree in 2019 without balls? These Christmas decorations You can make it yourself from paper, felt it from wool, or make it from other materials. The main thing is to find good ideas.
Old factory balls are an excellent basis for such products; it is better if they are made of plastic or foam. Then they won't break.
For decoration, it is suggested to take beads - you can find plastic or glass ones in your grandmother's box, you can take beads. There are a lot of decorative beads on sale today. This chain is wrapped around the ball in the form of a spiral. Each turn is glued.
An interesting decision in 2019 is to take 3 strands of beads different color and size. And alternate them in the design of the ball. When the entire surface is covered with beads, the tip of the thread is hidden and fixed with glue. The loop for hanging the toy is attached to the cord.
The Christmas tree ball can be made from thick paper or cardboard. If there is a drawing on it, good. The toy will look more impressive if material of two contrasting colors is used. 
To create these New Year's decorations:
In 2019, a foam ball can turn into a luxurious, sophisticated decoration in the French style. All you need is a pack of pins with decorative bead-shaped heads. And colored paper from which flowers with four petals are cut out. Such blanks can also be found in craft stores.
Having put two parts together, they are pierced in the middle with a pin and attached to the ball. The result is unusual New Year's decorations. 
Instead of flowers, you can use sequins or other ideas.
Threads, PVA glue and balloon IR is needed for making an openwork toy for a Christmas tree or decorating a room. 
The technology is simple. First, the balloon is inflated. Then the glue is diluted in water. The thread that is used to wrap the base is moistened in it. You can make the toy one color or different shades.
The number of revolutions depends only on your desire. To dry, the product can be hung from something. And when everything is thoroughly dry, pierce the rubber ball and take it out. This web looks interesting and elegant. It can be decorated with beads, bows or something else. Many people will like New Year's decorations in such a light style. 
New Year's decorations from pine cones are quite simple to make, but always look impressive. For example, a ring:
This decoration, made in the basic shades of the Christmas tree decoration, will look especially stylish.
Lovers of everything unusual will love holiday decor ideas for 2019 using completely unexpected things.
So, you can create a snowflake for a Christmas tree using ordinary wooden clothespins:
Old sheet music also becomes a source of inspiration when creating New Year's decor:
Old photos and postcards instantly turn into bright original balls:

Their feathers come from the bark,
And under them there are grains,
And from spruce branches
They wait for squirrels in winter.
Except sharp needles
What grows on the branches of Christmas trees?
