Achieve a decorative DIY Christmas tree using a string

9/3/2014

As the 'ber' months start, Filipinos are becoming busy preparing for Christmas. To save money for this special occasion, you can make decorations out of the things that can be found inside the house.  Using some old file folders and jute strings, you can simplify your decorations but has a very  elegant and cozy look.

Materials:
  • Garden string (aka jute string)
  • Card board
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun / Glue
  • Stapler
  • Double adhesive tape
  • Adhesive tape

Procedures:
1. Form a cone by wining up a cardboard or an old file folder in your desired size and height.
Picture
2. Hold the cone in shape by securing it with staples.
Picture
3. Put adhesive tape on the bumpy sides of the cardboard to make it smooth and flawless. This technique  will give you a polished look at the end. 
Picture
4. Put double adhesive tapes on four different parts of the cone. This will help to hold the string on its place and will avoid the string to form lumps. 
Picture
5. Put hot glue on top and attach the tip of the garden string on it.

5. Start covering the paper cone with the garden string. I found it easier to start from the top than the bottom part. I used garden string because it has a very appealing color and texture and can easily be manipulated.

Make sure to put a little bit pressure while twining the string. You can put a little bit of hot glue to completely hold the string on place.  After you finish covering the paper cone, attach the jute string on the underside of the cone at the bottom with your glue gun.

6. Cut the base of the cone that is uncovered to polish its look.

Now, you can add embellishments to make it more elegant. You can add glitters, ornaments or other decorations on it  to put some blings.

Have a creative Christmas with this DIY project. These are really fun and easy but the best part is that you save a lot of money for the holidays.

What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
