The Christmas Tree Project

Our very own Xmas creation!

Christmas is here and I have a very exciting project to share with you. Remember how we collected all the waste available in the house and make something fun out of it? This is exactly what I did this Christmas but with a twist. This time I went outside and collected some tree branches, dried flowers and bird feathers. The result was amazing. Everytime I make something out of waste it makes me happy. This time it was more fun because it was my friend who made me do all this and helped me ideate and create this beautiful Xmas tree. Its so much better and easier when you work with equally enthusiastic person.

So without wasting much of your time, here I show you how to make this......

We first went out and picked up:

1) tree branches

2) dry flowers

3) crow feathers

Waste stuff in my Junkyard that I already had:

1) cleaned acrylic color bottles

2) waste tic-tac boxes and other small boxes

3) old out of use t-shirt

4) non-working bulb

Tools required:

1) Scissors

2) tape

3) glue

4) threads/ bendable strings

5) decoratives

6) Spray paint(silver/gold/any color to suit the tree)

STEP1

Go to the streets and find out interesting things to decorate.We picked up tree branches and dried leaves.

STEP2:

Start keeping them in the way shown. (you can have your way of Christmas tree). Tie one by one each of them with the old t-shirt strands.

  

       

STEP 3:

Use bigger sticks below and keep reducing the size of the sticks till the top.

We did not have any tool to cut the tree branchces so we used a very unique method.

HAHA!

We finally came up with a tree like structure. (So smart of us!)

YAYY!!!!!

STEP 4:

This is the time to decorate our lovely peice of art, our Christmas tree.

We used all sorts of waste things like...BULB

Put glue on the bulb and put sparkle on it and make it the star of the tree.

Now take dried flowers and give them a good color. I gave them golden and silver and i used spray paint.

                                          

Take waste boxes and cover them with gift wrapping paper to make them look like gifts.

Take some empty acrylic color bottles, clean them and use it to hang them on the tree. Put beads in the bottle and add a bird feather with it.

Also we colored the bird feather with silver.

Also cut some snowflakes and hang them.

You can add many more accesories for your style of tree. All we tried to do was make something out of waste and celebrate a festival with a cause. UPCYLE!

For the final touches..ADD Lights!!!

ADD photography skills!!!

And dont forget to add LOVE!

Merry Christmas guys!
