Christmas is just a few days away! If you still haven't set up your tree I have you fixed in a DIY way. Learn to make a real Christmas tree and you can customized it to your dream tree and that to saving lots of money, so lets begin!
SUPPLIES:
- Cardboard Tubes
- Tape
- Metal wires
- Glue/super glue/hot glue
- Tassel Decorations
METHOD:
Creating the body of the tree:
Stack the tubes one above the other and stick them together with tape, now this depends upon how big you want your tree to be, I used two tubes for this project.
Making the base of the tree:
The tube that I have used came with a cap on the top which I used to make the base of the tree. Glue the cap and a smaller cardboard tube roll together with the bigger tube and let it dry. If you don't have something like this then you can use a cardboard piece and cut it to the desired shape and size and glue it and that will be the base so make it strong.
Attach the metal wires to the tube:
First tape down the metal wire leaving some extra at the top. Tape together the top ends of the wire so that I forms a closed triangle shape.
Giving shape:
Open up the bottom wires forming a tree shape, for this you will have to bend the wire, if you are underage take help of an adult to do this. Carefully bend the wires in an angle towards the bottom.
Fixing the base of the tree:
Make holes at the bottom of the tube, since I used three wires so I made three holes this depends upon the number of wires you use. Bend the bottom wires and slide them to the holes and seal with glue or tape.
Wrap the tassels around:
Now you have the skeleton of the tree ready and it's time to wrap the tassel decorations around if needed add little glue to the metal wires to stick the tassels.
Once you are happy with how the tree looks attach the decorations and top it with a star and there you have it your very own Christmas tree that you made it yourself. You can make this tree in any color you like, the white trees are very famous these days, so you can make that by attaching white colored tassels it is that easy.
Done!
If you make one share it on the social media with #craftingitalong I would love to see some of your DIY Christmas tree recreations.
