Make a small cone from the dense paper. Painted cones begin to attach to the finished cone in rows from the bottom. To do this, pierce the paper with paper and twist it inside the cone, fixing the bump in one place. Filling the row behind the series, we collect the Christmas tree to the very top. Peak is made from one bump, fixed vertically. The finished product is glued to a dense stand made of cardboard, thin plywood or fiberboard.
