Aside for carolings, setting up Christmas trees is one of the most exciting part of every holidays. The Christmas tree is the focal point of any holiday decorations. Given that most people live in condos or small apartments, you might think that having a Christmas tree is impossible. Most people have probably never thought to make their own Christmas tree. We typically buy one from the store, set it up in our living room, and call it a day. While there are ready for occupancy condo or condo in the Philippines that instantly gives the great ambiance for Christmas, having ornaments on your own would still spice up your home to make it Christmas-ready. There are a lot of different options for keeping a Christmas tree this time of year even if you live in a small space, and one of the best ways to have one is to create one!
Making your own Christmas tree doesn't have to be hard or expensive. All you need is a few hours, some creativity, and the right supplies. If you're living in a condo there are plenty of options for making your tree that won't leave behind any mess or cause any damage, which might not be the case if you were to go out into the woods. Plus, it's always fun to see friends and family members' reactions when they walk in on your home and see your little tree decorated with lights, tinsel, handmade ornaments- it'll feel like Christmas! It's also worth mentioning that you can use this same idea for other special occasions like birthdays, weddings- even events like house warming parties.
It is a tradition for many people to decorate their own Christmas tree. There are a lot of ways in which you can do so. You can buy new ornaments or get creative and make some on your own. It’s easy to forget about the benefits of condo living when you don't have a yard and there is no need to decorate your own Christmas tree. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy this holiday tradition. So to help you build your own DIY Christmas tree, here are some steps to follow that might guide you to start building one:
Step 1: Collect the Materials and Tools
Collecting the materials and tools that are needed for the task is essential. We will need to make sure that we have everything that is needed to complete the task. There are several things that you will need to gather before you start work, such as the materials needed and the tools needed to get the job done. Make sure you have everything that is required to get started before you begin.
Students often need pencils, paper, gel pens, markers, and crayons for various projects. Artists may need easels, paints, brushes, pencils, or charcoal for drawing or painting. Photographers may want a camera and other equipment depending on their type of photography. Musicians will want an instrument if they are playing one. Writers can also be creative with materials like glue sticks and washi tape for adding decoration to their work.
Upcycling is a great way to reuse old items. Go through your closet and go to thrift shops to find items that you can either fix or make into something new.
Step 2: Create Your Design
In conceptualizing designs for your do-it-yourself Christmas tree, you can think of any Christmas theme that would match the vibe of your condo, or would match your condo design. You may want to have a design with the theme White Christmas or a Christmas tree that has gold or silver accents, or a Christmas tree that will utilize the use of photos of loved ones. Christmas tree designs have a wide range of ideas. You just really need to be creative and go out of your box to conceptualize a design.
Step 3: Prepare the Base of Your Christmas Tree
Get a plant holder or anything that would hold your Christmas tree. Gather stones or anything heavy that would support and balance your Christmas tree. Make sure to have something that will make your Christmas tree sturdy.
Step 4: Gluing & Assembling Your Design
Once you’re done preparing the base of your Christmas tree, get all your materials for your design and start assembling it. You can start by cutting pieces of paper into shapes like triangles, rectangles, and stars, or gluing the branches of trees that you want to form as your tree. Once you're done with that, you'll need something to hold the pieces of paper onto the tree while it dries. This can be anything like string or yarn, or glue. Put the garlands, the Christmas balls, the DIY ornaments you created with your family, put everything together, and start turning your ideas into a real Christmas tree. Simply add your decorations and you're done. Either buy them cheaply, make them yourself, or get the children to help out with the fun!
Step 5: Adding Lights!
With the right amount of lighting, your tree will be the center of attention and will turn any party into a festive occasion. In adding lights, make sure to strip the wires back so they are not exposed and then twist them together tightly. Then, connect the strand of lights to an extension cord that is plugged into the wall. You also need to take one strand of lights and plug it into an extension cord that is connected at the top of the tree, around halfway. Finally, plug in the other strand of lights at the bottom around halfway.
It's time to turn on some Christmas tunes, get your Christmas tree lights ready, and start lighting it up!
Decorating a Christmas tree is a fun experience for condo living and a great asset for a condo design. It is a time for family and friends to come together and reminisce about the year that has passed. The look of the tree also reflects the mood of the people living in that specific house. A decorated Christmas tree can be an important part of the holiday spirit at home, as it brings joy to those who live there. It does not matter how expensive or cheap your Christmas tree is, what is important is the shared love that you get to show and receive during this season of love.
