Spruce branch with cones

To decorate your home with a spruce branch with pine cones on New Year's holidays, you don't have to rush into the forest and spoil nature. You can make a symbol of the New Year holidays from corrugated paper. The craft comes out so natural that it is difficult to distinguish it from the original spruce.
To work, you need to assemble the following components:
- corrugated paper in rich green and brown shades;
- thin but strong wire;
- scissors;
- pliers;
- a tube of surfactant glue.

Cut a strip of green paper along its entire length, 5-6 cm wide. And divide it into four equal parts.

Cut fringe on all strips. This must be done on one side, 2 cm short of the edge. The width of the thin stripes should be 5 mm.

Then, with your fingers, begin to twist each strip into a thin needle.

This is what the green blank should look like. You need 4 of these.

Take the wire and start forming a branch. The paper is perfectly fixed with PVA glue. The turns on the wire must be glued in a spiral. One strip of corrugated paper covers 9 cm of wire.

It is better to make the branches separately, and then twist them into a single whole.

Now start making cones.
It is also necessary to cut off a strip of brown color. Along the entire length of the roll of paper and a width of 5-6 cm.

Cut it into three equal pieces.
Now you need to form a wavy edge. To do this you need to move from right to left. Fold the right corner of the paper towards you. Then fold it towards you with your right hand again. Then with the thumb of your right hand you bend the edge back, and with your right hand you make a turn towards yourself.
A wavy edge emerges.

This is what the finished brown blanks look like.

Now take a piece of wire and wrap it in a piece of brown paper to make the workpiece more voluminous. Then glue the brown paper in a spiral, not pressing the wavy edge too hard. A long lump comes out.
