As Christmas approaches, we all want to have a beautifully decorated house, right? So here are 3 recycled ideas for making pretty little Christmas trees that will have the most beautiful effect.
It is entirely possible to avoid the purchase of expensive and polluting Christmas decorations. In order to preserve the environment, and also to save money, I have selected 3 trees that are easy to make yourself . And why not with children? This is an opportunity to have a good creative moment with the family !
To decorate your tables or your fireplace, this little recycled cardboard Christmas tree is perfect. Easy to make, just follow the free tutorial on this specialized site.
You can then decorate and paint it to your liking. Practical, the tree is stabilized thanks to its integrated base.
Decorative, it will delight children who will come every day to look for their surprise in this tree they made themselves!
Get 24 rolls of toilet paper, an empty tissue box, cardboard, paint and glue varnish.
Step 1
Paint the rollers. Glue and staple them together, forming several layers of 3 rolls, then 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 then 1 single roll. Decorate the tissue box and glue the bottom rolls on it.
Step 2
Put a surprise in each roll and close them by gluing a cardboard washer to the end. Glue golden stars numbered on each washer (found at Cultura).
Step 3
Personalize the decoration by sticking your creations in felt, stickers, crepe paper...
Thanks to Stéphanie for making this tree, whose photo illustrates the article!
Very original tree made with pine cones !
And simple to make too. Pick up a big bag of pine cones during a pleasant walk in the forest. Then make a rigid paper cone on which you will glue your pine cones. That's it!
Tell me in the comments how many envious people will have raved about your pretty decorations!
If you buy a ready-made cardboard tree, it will cost you around 13 € 41 (indicative price at Amazon). Might as well save it by cutting it out of recycled cardboard, don't you think?
