Christmas is fast approaching, but this year, it's impossible to put a tree in your home for lack of space or simply by refusing to cut down a tree. What to do ? Rest assured, it is quite possible to create a festive interior without a tree. You just need to decorate each living room well. And if you really want to reproduce a tree, in a more ecological way, here are some ideas that could be useful to you. Which one will you choose?
Branches are everywhere! This is good because they can be the base of your Christmas tree. The principle is simple, you have to arrange the branches from the largest to the smallest. Several options are then available to you. You can use a central axis and place the spiral branches to create a tree in relief then decorate it with balls and garlands. You can also create a wall tree if you don't have enough space! This concept can be reproduced with driftwood or planks.
The fir tree is a symbol of Christmas, just like the presents. So why not create a gift tree? To do this, you just need to dispose of the gifts to get a kind of pyramid. To make your tree look more realistic, opt for green gift wrap. You can then include garlands in your creation.
The Christmas balls are sold in quantity at the end of the year. You can buy them in all sizes. Thanks to a glue gun, you can then assemble them in order to create a pyramid. It's up to you to choose the colors to create a harmonious Christmas ball tree. The advantage of this tree is that it is not necessary to decorate it!
If you're short on space and want to create an original tree, this idea is for you! On one of the walls of your interior, you can create a tree with photos. You just have to place them on the wall so as to reproduce a fir tree. You can include Christmas cards and small decorations.
Almost all of us have a stepladder at home. If this is not the case, it is very easy to get one. This essential equipment for any good handyman can be an original Christmas tree. Just open the stepladder and decorate it. It is possible to cover it with a sheet or paper so that it is not visible.
Like the Christmas tree made from gifts, the one created from books is very easy to make. Just arrange the books to get a pyramid. You can then add decorations. Attention ! If your books are valuable, avoid decorating them with tape. it would be a shame to damage them.
If you have cardboard, you can cut them into the shape of a Christmas tree. Create two identical fir trees, cut them out then make a cut from the top to the middle on one and from the bottom to the middle on the other. Fit them together and decorate your DIY tree!
To make a paper tree, you need lots of green leaves. Create cones, which you secure with tape or glue. Then, assemble these cones so as to reproduce a fir tree. We recommend that you use thick paper, otherwise your tree will be very difficult to decorate.
In supermarkets and stores, there are many tree-shaped decorations that allow you to wear Christmas parties without investing in a real tree. Sometimes they take the form of a structure that needs to be decorated or an XXL frame in the shape of a fir tree. It's up to you to personalize the installation so that it looks like you and especially so that it looks like your Christmas parties!
