Ideas for making a Christmas panel

On the eve of Christmas, you should think about making festive panel... It can be done not only by adults, but also by children. The main thing is to learn the technique and prepare all the necessary materials. The product will become an unsurpassed home decoration or a great gift for friends and family.

For the production of panels of medium complexity in time it will take about 3-4 hours. It all depends on the skills of the master, as well as the ability to work quickly. To make the creative process as comfortable as possible, all the necessary materials and tools should be prepared in advance. For a Christmas panel, you will need the following:

• glue gun;
• pruning shears and regular scissors;
• a beautiful branch (without leaves) for the base;
• several green twigs of thuja, pine or spruce;
• red berries of holly or mountain ash (you can get by with ordinary beads of the same color);
• lace ribbon;
• New Year's decor: beads, small stars, sparkles.

Making a Christmas panel is not difficult, but very painstaking. First you need to measure a piece of lace ribbon... Its length depends on individual preference. It is for this lace that the finished product will be hung. The next step is tie both ends of the lace to the ends of the base branch. To make the design more reliable, additional knots can be fix with hot glue.

Next, you need to make a vertical - tie a small piece of lace to the middle of the base branch, and then attach the hanging decor element. For example, it can be Christmas decorations with stars on ribbons. The prepared spruce twig must be divided into several small ones.

It is better not to glue the twigs right away... If you are sure that the composition is perfectly folded, then you can fix the branches with a glue gun... At this stage, you should be careful, since the glue tends to stretch. The composition can simply be spoiled.

It is necessary to attach holly or rowan berries (beads) to the branches. The procedure is the same - you first need to try it on, and only then stick it on. When everything is fixed, you can glue the decor.

But to make such a panel, you will need the corresponding figurines, which can be purchased at handicraft stores or use suitable Christmas tree decorations.

To make such a panel, you need to prepare all the same tools: scissors and glue gun. From accessories you need to buy figurines of Jesus, Virgin Mary and angels. The manufacturing process is very similar to the one used in the first version.

1. Tie lace to the base branch.
2. Make it vertical. Decorate the composition with prepared decoration.
3. Next, you need to glue the spruce branches. You need to harmoniously arrange the figures on them.Better if they are made of plastic rather than glass. Since the latter are quite fragile and can burst not only from awkward movements, but also from hot glue.

If you wish, you can make almost any Christmas panel. You should start with simple compositions, moving on to more complex ones. So, one of the original ideas is to make a panel using cotton wool and spruce cones. Ready option:

You can also make a composition in the form of a Christmas wreath on the door. It is important to take care of the strength of the structure here, since the wreath will be located outside. It is better to do such a composition for those who already have at least initial skills in this matter.
