Great christmas gifts: Christmas tree

 

Initially determined by the number of whorls in the Christmas tree.I sketch a design to estimate the diameter of each "floor".Spread the light green pancakes for them - a dark green pattern.The first tree I laid out easier - a dark green coat just in radii, and it's even better, more natural "branches".  

For the stem I use brushes to clean the pipes, purchased in a tobacco shop.Initially, on-wet cliff barrel, then to the spiral-twisted wire - ground, also on-wet.
 
Svalyanye cake is cut, repeating bumps formed of dark wool.The very top when the cake is formed in the cone of felting.
We get parts for the assembly tree:

While the tree is drying, make toys.This time - the balls of Cured plastic, hand painted gilt and varnished.Making toys is most of the time, generally speaking.

Toys thin monofilament sewing on ready-made cakes.

In the center of each cake with sharp scissors poking a small hole, so that the tortilla tightly strung on barrel, and then zakrepyat it is not necessary.Top cake paste.
When designing a tree advise to pay attention to the ratio of its height and diameter of the base (as is understandable, if not properly calculate tree will not be stable).
If the first tree, which I presented here was the "beauty of the woods," this - "Beauty of the closet" - turned out nice, but artificial.Due to differences in stacking pattern, which I wrote, this does not become thinner branches at the end and did not droop so naturally.Nuances give a different effect.
Thank you!And Happy New Year!... Or too early?
