Spiral christmas tree design11/15/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you cut thinner spirals, you may just have to cut the tree shorter so it look like a Christmas tree and not just a long tail.Īfter they’re cut, lay them flat again on a table and add decorations to it! The thinner the spirals are, it will stretch out more and won’t look like a Christmas tree. Huge tip: The lighter the paper you have, the thicker the spirals will have to be, or shorter. I drew the spiral on for Henry and he cut his own out. I used one of our dinner plates to trace.įor George, I cut the spiral because, while he’s a good cutter, he’s not able to follow lines yet, especially circles. I cut circles from green 12×12 scrapbook paper.

If you want to have more lights, create another path and apply the same Scatter Brush.Spruce up the home with this spiral Christmas tree craft the kids can make to make your home all cozy and warm for the holiday season! Notice how the light bulbs are randomly rendered base on the range values you’ve entered in the Scatter Brush Options, and you can change these setting at any time by double click on the Library object. With the Pen Tool, roughly draw a zig zag path from the top to bottom, and apply the Scatter Brush you’ve created in the previous step. When the Scatter Brush Options window popup, select Random for all options and enter the range values as shown below. Create some light bulbs as shown on the left, drag it to the Brushes Library to make a New Scatter Brush. The tree still looks too plain, we need some more decorative lights. Place some on top of the tree, send some to the back, and put some behind the branches. Play around with the Opacity and Stroke Weight and try to make the tree looks as natural as possible.Ĭreate various size and gradient Christmas balls with the Ellipse Tool. If you want bigger tree branches, apply thicker stroke weight, thinner stroke = smaller branches. Adjust the Opacity between 40-50% so it blends with the tree. Then apply these paths with the Art Brush you’ve created in the previous step. With the Pen Tool, create some wavily stroke paths and fill stroke color with green. Leave everything as default, but select Tints and Shades from the Colorization Method drop down menu. Select these 3 paths and drag it to the Brushes Library to make a New Art Brush. Repeat this step, duplicate one more path and fill it with a even lighter tone of green(4). Duplicate path(2) by ALT+Drag or Copy & Paste, vertically scale it down a bit, and change it to lighter tone of green(3). With the Pen Tool, make a path as shown below(1), fill with dark green, and apply the same Roughen effect as the previous step. Now we need to make a New Art Brush for the tree branches. When the Roughen options window popup, enter the following values: Size: 5%, Detail: 100/in and select Points=Corner, then click OK. Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen First, roughly create the tree path with Pen Tool and fill it with (green-darker green) gradient. ![]()
