An example of kanzashi crafts for a Christmas tree.
Progress:
- We cut the satin ribbons into squares. To keep them straight, use a ruler. These should be squares, not rectangles.
- One square is glued to the ball. To prevent the base from rolling anywhere, you can pick up the jar and put the ball on top.
- Now we wrap all the remaining squares so that we get triangles. The most convenient way to do this is with tweezers. Using a lighter, melt the edges of the triangles.
- The first row is made of silver triangles. Using a gun, we attach each one so that the corners look at each other, and the distance between the triangles should be 2 cm.
- The second row is also made of silver triangles. They are attached on top of the first row, as if in a checkerboard pattern.
- The third row is made in a similar way, also from silver triangles.
- The next 2 rows are performed with blue figures. And so we continue to lay triangles every 2 rows, alternating colors.
- At the end we cover it with a blue square and place 4 silver triangles on top.
- We take a wide white ribbon, singe the sides and baste along one side with a seam “forward with a needle”, and pull it together. Glue the bow to the thread.
All that remains is to make a loop and hang the toy on the Christmas tree.

How to decorate a Christmas tree
Ribbons are effectively adjacent to the bows on the spruce tree. They can match or differ. The easiest way is to go down diagonally, in a circle or in a zigzag. Diamond weaving will require dexterity and skill. Small ribbons are often knitted at one end, and natural materials such as pine cones, cinnamon and nuts are attached to the other. Small trees are often decorated with ruffles and lace.
There is one “but”: beloved pets, as a rule, are not indifferent to such luxury.
Decorating the Christmas tree with bows
So, the style has been chosen. It's time to try it on. If spire and star isn't your story, start at the top. Place a voluminous bow on it with falling ends. Next, move from top to bottom in a circle or spiral. Catch and knit on the edges. It's better if it's not colorful. Place the decor evenly: do not concentrate them in any one part. The picture must be complete.
