Make holes on top of the “legs” (they don’t touch the floor!) and in the middle of the pipe by threading wire through them. Secure it with pliers. Secure the cut top of a plastic bottle between the “legs” - this will make the structure stronger. Secure everything with electrical tape.
- Cut off the bottom of the bottles.
- Cut the rest of the bottle into “noodles”.
- Manually peel the strips away from the neck.
- Fold the strips up, cut off the necks of the bottles and paint the blanks with green and silver paints. You can do without paints by initially using multi-colored bottles.
- Start assembling the Christmas tree by stringing the pieces, necks up, onto the base. Screw the lids onto the lower legs. Drill holes in them and, using a wire stretched through the hole, secure the structure.
- Secure the top of the spruce with wire.

Make a Christmas tree with your own hands, cheaply, cheerfully and, in addition, quickly? This is possible, especially if there is a little accumulation in your home. plastic containers- bottles or cups.
We present to your attention a double detailed master class: how to make an exclusive New Year’s structure with your own hands from recycled materials.
Master class 1: Christmas tree made from plastic bottles
We will need:
- plastic bottles of different sizes, from 0.3 to 3 liters. Preferably green;
- a wooden stick, the height of which is the same as our Christmas tree. The diameter of the stick should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the neck of the bottles;
- bottle cap;
- stationery knife;
- scissors.
Stage one:
Carefully cut off the bottom of all plastic bottles. Carefully, use a stationery knife - first you need to make a puncture in the wall, and only then saw around the circumference. If sawing with a knife seems difficult, then you can cut with scissors. We leave one large bottom - it will serve as a support on which the Christmas tree will rest. The remaining bottoms can be thrown away.
Stage two:
We cut bottles with sawn-off bottoms into strips 2-2.5 cm wide, naturally, without bringing the cut to the neck. As a result, we get a kind of plastic “flower”.
Stage three:
We cut each strip along the edge, leaving a distance of 0.5 mm between the cuts. These are our “needles”. This way we will be able to make the future Christmas tree “fluffy”. We bend each “needle” - the branches turn out “lush”.
Stage four:
We carefully string the branches onto a stick with our own hands - this is how the Christmas tree is assembled. Wider blanks (from larger-volume bottles) will naturally be at the base, and smaller ones (bottles of smaller capacity) will be at the top. We put the bottom of the bottle on a stick, this will be the base on which the tree rests. We screw the cap on top, you can hammer in a nail for strength.
Christmas tree made from plastic bottles is ready! Decorate! Tinsel, rain and simple matte balls will look great on such a unique New Year's beauty. A garland on an ascetic plastic tree can also look very stylish. Experiment!
Master class 2: how to make a Christmas tree from cups
The most difficult thing in this procedure is perhaps finding green cups.
We will need:
- plastic cups;
- stapler;
- glue;
- toys, balls for decorations.
Stage one:
We place eight cups in the first row with our own hands, in a semicircle. We fasten them with a stapler. Then we put the second row on top - already seven cups. We also fasten them with a stapler. And so on, each row is one glass less. The rows can be lightly glued together for reliability, and also secured with staples. The finished tree should be stable.
Stage two:
Place a toy or ball in each cup. You can drip a little glue so that they are securely fixed inside. By the way, if you have a special glue gun, great, it will help you discreetly attach toys to plastic.
Original Christmas tree from plastic cups ready! But if you think that this idea is not creative enough, then here are options for decorating or modifying such a structure with your own hands:
- You can lay out the cups not in a semicircle, but in a circle. Only in this case is it better to “plant” them on a base made of a cardboard cone. Such a tree will have an attractive “facade”, that is, it can be placed in the center of the room, while a semicircular one looks good when standing against the wall.
- If you make a small cut in the top of each cup, you can pass a ribbon through it, secure it with a knot, and hang the decoration on it.
- Macaroni bows painted with golden gouache will look great as decorations.
- You can place a garland inside a round Christmas tree made from cups. It will shine very beautifully through the plastic, and its top light bulb will perfectly replace the traditional star.
1. Christmas tree made from plastic bottles
Prepare a Christmas tree like this green plastic bottle, scotch, scissors(such that they can easily cut a plastic bottle, Whatman tube. The only thing you can add to such a Christmas tree is to decorate it with beads, gluing them to the Christmas tree with glue. You can hang a rain ribbon. You can make this craft with your children. Next, we do everything as in the photo:
To make a decorative New Year's craft: a Christmas tree from plastic bottles, you will need the following:
- Plastic bottles - 3 pcs;
- Scotch;
- A sheet of thick paper, ideally whatman paper (A4);
- Scissors;
So, cut the bottle as shown in the photo below. That is, it is necessary to cut off the bottom and neck so that a straight pipe from the bottle remains.
Cut each plastic bottle lengthwise into 3 equal parts and then adjust their sizes so that each subsequent tier is slightly smaller than the previous one. Then each workpiece must be “dissolved into needles.” The neck of one of the bottles will serve as a stand for our future New Year's craft.
The next step is to roll the Whatman paper into a tube. We insert it into the neck of the bottle and secure it with tape in a circle.
The top of our New Year's tree you can decorate with homemade Christmas tree toy or complete the Christmas tree the way we did it.
If you want to make a fluffier Christmas tree from PET bottles, like the one in the photo below, when making the Christmas tree, you need to cut the needles as thinly as possible (more often).
2. For Christmas trees made from plastic bottles you will need green bottles of various sizes and wooden stick, with a diameter slightly smaller than the neck. The length of the stick will determine the height of the tree and the number of bottles.
I guess it's ready)
4. Another very interesting option
For production we will need:
- scissors
- green bottle
- cork plug
- round glass of cottage cheese dessert
- candle
- glue.
Also find foam rubber. We cut a piece of a kitchen sponge for washing dishes.
First, cut the green bottle into squares or circles different sizes. For the bottom of the Christmas tree, the width of the square should be at least 6-7 cm, for the middle - about 5 cm, for the top of the head 2-3 cm is enough.
Now, using scissors, we densely break through the edges of the stars. You can call your household for help. In fact, the work is painstaking and requires a lot of patience. Edging the edges takes approximately 30 minutes. To make the spruce paws look more natural, we bring the plastic to the flame of a candle. The tips of our coniferous branches will gracefully curl down. Here is the finished result.
It's time to apply glue and foam rubber. Cut the sponge into small pieces (1x1 cm).
Now we coat the largest one with glue. spruce paw, put a cube of foam rubber on top. Add glue again and cover it with green plastic.
We continue working until we run out of parts. Don’t forget that we are “building a pyramid”, and therefore with each subsequent gluing we focus on the size of the plastic star.
All that remains is to design the trunk of the coniferous tree. Of course, its role will be played by a cork plug. However, to make the craft resistant to tipping over, we will place a small yellow bucket in the tree. Let's cut it out of a round cup.
Lubricate the bottom of the bucket with glue and place a cork barrel in the center. Set aside the part for 2-3 minutes, let it dry completely.
We connect the crown with the trunk. The result was a slender emerald Christmas tree made from plastic bottles. A real forest beauty.
Bottom line
5. By the way, the Christmas tree also looks quite creative with larger “branches”
We cut the bottle into 3 parts. Only make cuts in a circle towards the center, straight.
A puncture is made in the center with an awl and the needles are bent up and down in order. A puncture is made in the lid of the cream or mineral water into which a skewer of the required length is inserted.
The parts are strung in descending order, with a large bead placed on top of the glue. The Christmas tree can be decorated with polystyrene foam, rain, etc.
Glue the Christmas tree onto the disk stand.
The Christmas tree is ready
