Christmas tree and other crafts from cotton pads for the New Year: detailed instructions for making
At first glance, it may seem that making a New Year's craft from cotton pads for the New Year is quite difficult. In fact this is not true. If you have everything you need and sufficient perseverance, you can pass it by the owner of the original beautiful decor.
We make a Christmas tree from cotton pads with our own hands
Most people choose a purchased spruce to decorate their home. Someone chooses artificial, someone real. If desired, the New Year's beauty can be made with your own hands. Many will be interested in a New Year's craft in the form of a Christmas tree made of cotton pads. With such a figurine, you can safely participate in a competition or simply decorate the interior.
A forest beauty is made in the following sequence:
| Illustration | Description of action |
 | We prepare everything you need to complete the work. The number of cotton elements depends on the dimensions of the future crafts for the New Year. It is best to choose large packs of 120 pieces. You will also need a glue gun, glue stick, small items for decoration. As a decor, you can use various products: beads, rhinestones or extra mosaic details |
 | We make a cone-shaped base from thick paper, to which cotton pads will be glued directly. If there is a desire and opportunity, you can purchase a ready-made foam cone. We make a stand from an old box. We paste over it with decorative paper of a suitable color. We unpack and lay out everything you need on the table |
 | Fold the cotton pad in half, and then in half again. We glue it to the very bottom of the cone in two lines using a glue gun to securely fix the elements. Gently straighten it to give the finished craft the required volume |
 | In the same way, we glue all the rows of the tree. If a glue stick is used instead of a glue gun, first apply it to a small part of the base, and then press the cotton pad. Starting from the second row, after 4 - 5 elements, use a glue gun to glue the prepared decor. Decrease the step closer to the top |
 | We decorate the top using rain or garland. We fix them securely with a glue gun |
 | Now all that remains is to install a self-made Christmas tree from cotton pads on a stand. You can put a New Year's garland, cones and other decor nearby |
You can make a Christmas tree in another way. We offer you to see numerous photos of ready-made fakes, which can be safely used as an idea for subsequent implementation.
We also offer you to watch a video, which describes in more detail how you can make a Christmas tree-shaped craft from cotton pads for the New Year:
Making crafts in the form of a New Year's wreath from cotton pads
Instead of a Christmas tree, it is quite possible to make a wreath. Such a New Year's craft from disks will allow you to beautifully decorate the front door to an apartment or room. You can make it as follows:
| Illustration | Description of action |
 | We prepare everything you need for work: wire, paper, for example, old newspapers, white napkins, cotton pads, glue, tape, decorative material. Cut off a little wire and form a circle, the diameter of which will correspond to the axis of the craft being made. Connect the ends of the wire neatly |
 | We straighten the prepared newspapers and begin to squeeze. We do this along the larger side to reduce the number of joints on the future base. |
 | We form the base of the future wreath, securing the newspapers around the wire. The thicker the newspaper layer is, the more voluminous the wreath will turn out. |
 | We glue the base with white napkins. This will hide the base formed from periodicals. |
 | We cut the disk in a spiral. If you can't do it neatly, you can fold each element twice, as shown in the example with the Christmas tree. |
 | A rose is formed from each cotton element. The element should turn out to be moderately dense and voluminous |
 | The prepared parts are carefully glued to the base. They should be placed as close to each other as possible. We decorate the finished wreath in the chosen way |
We offer you to get acquainted with the photo of ready-made wreaths, which can be used as an idea:
Making a garland of cotton pads
You can create such a decoration as follows:
| Illustration | Description of action |
 | We prepare everything you need. For work, you will need cotton pads, a white strong thread, a glue stick. The thread should be chosen so thick that it can withstand the weight of decorative elements, but at the same time it is not very striking |
 | We take a cotton element and carefully coat it with glue stick |
 | We put the thread on the prepared element and the second part on top. We fasten other elements in the same way, trying to maintain the same distance. |
You can also make crafts for the New Year from cotton wool and cotton pads. We suggest watching a video that explains how to do this:

 | On the prepared element we make an incision in the form of a spiral. Its configuration and size should allow it to form a flower in the future. |
 | We fold the cotton pads, forming a rose. We fasten the center with a safety pin |
 | We attach the decorative element to the base by pressing the safety pin into the polystyrene. Other elements are made and attached in the same way. |
