Branch decoration
If you like the smell of spruce, to save valuable space, it is worth buying several spruce branches, slightly splitting them at the ends and putting them in water. Decorated with balls, the “bouquet” will look no worse than a full-fledged tree.
Do not put the branches near the radiator – the needles will quickly fall off. Add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 aspirin tablet to the water.
Even from ordinary branches of deciduous trees collected outside, you can make several beautiful compositions by hanging cones, Christmas tree decorations or a garland on them.
A Christmas tree made from a stepladder or slats
A three-dimensional structure can be made if there is space in the apartment, but no cats. A minimalist beauty made from a ladder will definitely surprise guests and delight them with its extravagance.
Long wooden slats can be connected at the top and used as a frame for hanging balls. And if you use a jigsaw and screws, a stylish Christmas tree made of thin bars and slats will become the main decoration of the house.
Christmas tree made of threads and paper
If you need special materials and tools to create a three-dimensional wooden Christmas tree, then such a wall craft can be created from what you have at home: you will only need strong thick threads and pins.
You can make the composition with your child, decorating the wall in the nursery. Use thread pom-poms, plastic and homemade toys, dried orange or lemon slices as decorations.
Plywood or furniture board Christmas tree
A luxurious art object in Scandinavian style looks laconic and modern. To create it, you will need a wooden board and an electric jigsaw.
To make the tree look finished, you should treat it with stain or tint it with oil – this way it will preserve the structure of the wood.
The frame can be supplemented with shelves, placing New Year’s decor and gifts on them.
Wall-mounted Christmas tree made of sticks
A budget-friendly but very popular eco-style option. This composition is easy to make if you have a drill with a small bit. The base is made of washed and dried sticks of different sizes, which can be painted, as well as a strong thread.
The sticks are arranged from top to bottom from small to large, connected with a thread. The finished craft is decorated at your discretion.
Christmas tree made of photographs and postcards
A wonderful way to create decor for a future party or family gathering: such a tree will definitely attract everyone’s attention, remind you of the events of the past year and give a reason for conversation.
If after If you want to insert photos into an album during the New Year holidays, use double-sided tape that does not leave marks. You can also attach photos with pins if the wall is covered with wallpaper.
A composition of branches
An interesting way to replace a Christmas tree and save useful space is to attach branches to the wall, decorating them with light toys.
Real branches can be replaced with artificial ones, since live spruce branches quickly will shed their needles when out of water.
Christmas tree made of books
An eccentric composition made of books is one of the fashionable trends. We recommend using rarely used books as the material.
To make the decoration stable, arrange the books in the form of a low pyramid. The main advantage of this solution is its cost-effectiveness, and the disadvantage is its short life.
Sculpture made of fiberboard and kraft paper
An original composition will require special materials, but the result will justify itself: you will definitely not find such a Christmas tree at any of your friends. You will need sheets of fiberboard, cut into long triangles, and a roll of craft paper. It must be crumpled and wrapped around the frame, and then decorated with Christmas tree decorations.
A painted or printed Christmas tree
You can depict this New Year’s beauty on anything: a piece of plywood, a wall, a mirror, or a refrigerator. You can draw a Christmas tree with chalk on a blackboard, or apply white paint to a wooden pallet.
Another interesting solution: print a photo of the Christmas tree on several sheets and add garlands.
To create a festive mood, you don’t have to spend money on a Christmas tree “like everyone else”: it’s enough to stock up on unusual ideas, connect your imagination and start creating.
