Master class: Christmas tree made of threads
The manufacturing process consists of the following steps:
- Prepare the base in the form of a cone from whatman using scissors and glue. You can use the finished frame by buying cardboard caps for the holiday.
- Wrap the surface with foil or bag so that the minimum number of folds is obtained. This operation can be omitted, but then removing the product from the base will be a little more difficult.
- Win the threads on the cone, pre-lubricating them with glue. To facilitate the work, you can thread a needle with a twisted thread through a hole made in a tube of glue. After passing through such a system, the threads are ready for use. The yarn is usually wound up in a chaotic manner. It is quite possible to entrust the child. Work is best done from the bottom up.

- When the threads are wound, you need to leave the product for a while (for drying).
- Carefully remove the cardboard backing.
