PORCUPINE BALLS

MATERIALS REQUIRED
Colour papers, Scissors, Cardboard, Thread
PROCEDURE
Porcupine balls are a decorative technique which originated in Poland. These balls made in different colours were traditionally used to decorate the Christmas tree. Tissue paper, cut in round shapes can be assembled to make porcupine balls and they can be hung as such from Christmas trees or can also be hung in a mobile, or tissue paper can be cut in graduated sizes and assembled into a Christmas tree.
Cut out circles from different colour papers
Make eight cuttings from the edges of each circle.
Make a small cone from a thicker paper or cardboard. Cover the cone with clear plastic adhesive (cello tape) to prevent the tissue paper from sticking on to it.
Wrap each of the eight flaps of the rounds over the tip of the cone and apply glue with a brush to secure the flaps.
Take the cone out and continue with the next flap. We will get star like shapes. These star shapes can be used to assemble porcupine balls
Make a hole in the center of the star shapes, pass a thread or a flexible thin metal wire through the hole of the shapes and also through a small round piece of cardboard to prevent tearing.
Pull and tie the thread or the metal wire ends firmly and the pointed end will spread naturally into a ball.
Colour paper can be cut in graduated sizes and assembled into a Christmas tree.
We need a rod fixed with a base to assemble the Christmas tree.
Length of the rod can depend on the height of the Christmas tree you are planning to make.
Make a hole in the center of the star shapes and stick on gummed reinforcements to strengthen the center.
Insert the shapes one by one, with the wider diameters first and then the smaller ones until the tree gets the required shape
Insert a gold or silver ball at the top. Glue in coloured or silver or gold small balls to the tips of the shapes as decorations

3-D SNOWFLAKES

MATERIALS REQUIRED
Pencil, Paper, Scissors, Poster paint, tape, glue, glitter, thread
PROCEDURE
Apply paste in the corners and make the paper into cylindrical shape (A tube)
Draw an inch-wide band around the center of the paper tube
Draw six evenly spaced lines from each end of the tube to the band, then cut along them
If you want paint the paper in white colour both inside and outside
Tape the ends of the strips from one side of the band to those from the other side
Snip triangles from the edges of the strips. Add glue and glitter spots or beads for decoration. Use thread to hang up the snowflake

CHRISTMAS TREE

PAPER CHRISTMAS TREE
Make a simple 3-dimensional Christmas tree from construction paper. These trees look great sitting on the mantle or on a windowsill
MATERIALS REQUIRED
• Green construction paper
• Crayons, markers, glitter glue, or tempera paint
• Scissors
• Clear tape
• Optional: Other colors of construction paper, glue, hole punch, stickers
PROCEDURE
• Fold a piece of green construction paper in half, then cut it in half.
• Put the two pieces together, and fold them in half again.Draw half a Christmas tree opposite the fold
• Cut along the line - you should get two identical trees.
• Fold the trees in half, just barely creasing the center line (this is to mark the center of the tree).
• Cut a slit along the bottom half of the center of one tree and along the top half of the center of the other tree.
• Slip the two trees together along the slits.
• Using clear tape, tape the bottoms and tops together (pieces of tape on the bottom and at the top make the tree stand up well and stop the slit ends from flopping over).
• Decorate your tree with crayons, markers, glitter glue, or tempera paint. Or you can glue on tiny construction paper decorations or use star stickers. You can cut out tiny paper balls using a hole punch.
• Now you have a really nice 3-dimensional Christmas decoration.
• Optional: cut out a small construction paper star and cut a tiny slit in it. Put the star on the top of the tree (and secure it with some tape).
For a bigger tree: Start with two pieces of green construction paper, and fold them so they make a long, thin rectangle. Draw a tree opposite the fold. The rest of the instructions are the same

PAPER CUP CHRISTMAS TREE

MATERIALS REQUIRED
Paper cup, Scissors, A balloon stick or anyother stick, Pencil, Rubberband
PROCEDURE

• Lable the cups with the tallest as 1 and the shortest as 1.
• Cut the cups into srips and don’t worry about the thickness. Irregular thickness looks nicer.
• Curl the strips with the help of a pencil. Use smaller objects to have thin full curls. Do this to all the cups
• Now pierce all the cups in the center. Now insert the cups one by one into the balloon stick
• Tie a rubber band around the stick as stopper so that the cups wont slip
• Pierce the top of the stick through the cup with the base facing outwards, starting from no.10, leaving a bit of space inbetween 2 cups.
• Now pierce a paper cup and insert the stick on to the cup, which serves a base for the tree to stand
