Using a heated needle on a flame, make a small hole in the corner of this plastic piece. Insert a thin wire here, fold it in half and twist it. Do the same with the rest of the blanks.
Now, starting from this corner, roll the wire. To ensure that the turns of plastic are fastened together, periodically bring the whole side of the workpiece to the candle flame.

The container can be decorated, for example, with twine. It is also fixed with glue.
In order for a decorative tree to acquire needles, take blanks made of film and wire. Wrapping them around the cone, fix the turns with glue.
When the entire surface of the cardboard is decorated in this way, you need to decorate the Christmas tree. To do this, cut strips from a thin satin ribbon and tie them in the form of bows. To prevent the ends of these objects from fraying, scorch them over a flame.

Currently, with the high development of industry, it is almost impossible to find an object or product that cannot be bought. Of course, the item received will fully comply with the most high requirements, but it will lose the special individuality and uniqueness that wooden products made with your own hands can give.
Stages and tools for work
Let's decide what might be needed to make wooden products self made. The most important thing is the material from which the craft will be made. All logs are prepared using a special method, for this they are dried to 15% humidity, but experts say that the most the best option- this is 8-9%. It is important not to forget that wood differs in its strength and structure depending on the type.
To process the product you will need editing table or workbench. Next, be sure to purchase an electric tool - a milling cutter, a circular saw and a grinder, as well as a slotter and jointer.
It will also come in handy hand tool, which includes all kinds of planes, chisels, and hacksaws. In order to apply a design to a product, you can acquire drills and engravers.
Drawings of wooden products are also needed in order to understand what it will look like finished object. It is advisable to develop sketches yourself or borrow them from more experienced craftsmen.
Connecting products on sliding grooves
This is one of the simplest and most common types of fastening, so it is recommended for beginners. You will need to cut out identical and straight strips, the width of which will be the same as the thickness of the workpiece, then insert these parts into each other.
Prepare two pieces of plywood or wood in the shape of a rectangle. Cut grooves in the middle, the length of which is equal to half the workpiece. The width of such fastening should be the same as the width of the part. The result is a strong and stable cross. If you cut grooves at the corners, you will be able to create a strong corner shape. You can assemble four blanks in this way and get an excellent frame for a box or rectangular shape for crafts. This connection is also perfect for creating round things, for example, a mill or turbine wheel; making souvenirs and children's toys; furniture production.
Wood polishing steps
Primer. It is performed using a tampon wrapped in thin cloth and impregnated with varnish, which is applied to the product in different directions and saturates it. This procedure is done in order to fill the smallest pores and cracks in the base of the tree. After drying, the surface is treated with fine-grained sandpaper, and then the coating is applied again in two layers one after the other. After drying, the product should be treated with last time, diluting it one to one with polish. The prepared item is kept in a closed closet for two days.
Polishing. To do this, use a polish, before working with which the swab is moistened with a small amount vegetable oil. It is brought from the side, and the composition is distributed in smooth circular movements. All processes are carried out in three stages, and after each application the surface is sanded with fine sandpaper and then cleaned of dust. If you do everything correctly, then after the last layer dries you will get a slight gloss.
Polishing. This is carried out so that the surface acquires mirror shine. After all the layers have dried well after polishing, the base is lightly treated with the finest sandpaper, which is pre-moistened in oil. Then a small amount of polish is applied to the tampon, and the surface is rubbed with the composition until shiny. In order to improve the strength characteristics of a wooden product, this procedure is repeated several times. On last stage The surface is wiped with a soft cloth soaked in water.
Aged wood effect
In order for wooden products created with your own hands to become exclusive, an aging effect is used, which can be achieved in three ways.
The chemical method is only suitable for hardwood, since they contain tannins. To do this, the surface must be covered ammonia, after which it will darken and acquire a characteristic gray tint.
Using thermal method, you can age any breed. Initially, the surface is treated with stain, and then singed with a soldering iron until a natural textured pattern appears on it. Then the carbon deposits are removed with a brush. Everything is varnished.
The mechanical method (often called branching) is best suited for coniferous species. For this method, you will need a metal brush, which needs to cut through the wood fibers - remove the soft layers, after which hard fibers will appear, which will give the material an aged look. Using this procedure, you can hide small defects that appear during the work process. At the last stage, everything is covered with varnish or paint.
Finishing technology
Created with your own hands, after production they are covered with paint. Thanks to this, they will be especially beautiful and practical. This is done using a swab or soft brush. Small surfaces, as well as wooden carvings, are best painted with thin watercolor brushes.
Before use, the stain is slightly diluted, after which it is easily applied in several layers, the number of which will depend on required color. Since all parts of wood absorb paint differently, it is impossible to coat the product in one go. After each stage the details in mandatory completely dry, then you need to walk a little over the surface with sandpaper, remove dust and apply the next layer.
Care
In order for wooden products created with your own hands to look beautiful, they need special care. Steam and moisture easily penetrate inside, but evaporate just as easily. To protect the coating, it is best to use decorative wax. Humidity will not harm products that are coated with such a composition. It is applied with a brush in several stages. This layer will be an excellent protection against minor mechanical damage. To apply, you will need a cloth swab, with which the wax is rubbed with wide movements in the direction of the wood texture. To dry, the product must be kept for one night at a temperature of +20°C.
