Elka Kanzashi - master class

It's time to prepare for the New Year , for needlewomen - this is a very crucial moment. I want to do something original and beautiful. Of course, each makes a Christmas tree, but now there are a lot of options. And one of them is a Christmas tree in Kansas technique. I really like these Christmas trees, they look beautiful, neat and do not require large expenses. So, let's create! A master class to create a Christmas tree from ribbons will help you in this.

Herringbone of satin ribbons - master class

For work we need:

• satin ribbon 5 cm wide;
• cardboard;
• candle;
• glue gun and rods to it;
• tweezers, scissors;
• a stapler;
• beads for decoration.

Progress:

1. We cut the ribbon into squares of 5 by 5 cm. It is very important that the scissors be sharp, then it will be nice to do. If they are stupid, the fabric will tear and cut unevenly.
2. Now we do "branches of the tree". To do this, take a box, fold it in half diagonally, like this.
3. We fold again in such a way that the triangle turned out.
4. Once again.
5. Now we compare the end a little, cut it. We are drinking above the candle. The bottom, too, is cut so that there are even edges.
6. We get a lot of these here are "twigs".
7. We make the basis. For a basis we take a cardboard, we turn in a cone and we fix a stapler. You can buy a foam cone, but to do it yourself - it's not at all difficult! We level the edges, we cut the excess with scissors.
8. Fur-tree in Kanzash technique is easy, the main thing is to glue the "twigs" beautifully and evenly. We start from the top down.
9. I decided to decorate it with the same pieces, only made from other colors! You can do the same for your taste.
10. I get here is such a Christmas tree.
11. But we still have to decorate it.
12. We decorate with what is near at hand. My Christmas tree is small, so the beads will look harmonious on it. I glue the beads, and make a bow on top!
13. It turns out that such a beautiful Christmas tree.

Such a Christmas tree will be an excellent gift, it will also be a decor on your desktop. Christmas tree can be put on the New Year's holiday table. I wish all creative successes!
