Creative Christmas Trees

by

Here are my favorite inventive Christmas tree craft ideas using recycled materials.

coat hanger treeCoat Hanger Xmas Tree:

At All Free Crafts, Sunni Bergeron has written detailed instructions on how to create this beautiful Christmas tree out of coat hangers, twist ties and garland.

paper tube christmas treePaper Tube Xmas Tree:

A cute craft for kids is this paper tube Christmas tree project from MakingFriends.com. You could make it bigger but it’s a quick one children would have fun with as an ornament as well.

Paper Mache Tree:

On Aranamuerta’s blog, there’s a great paper mache tree. It was actually made for Halloween but it’s fantastic. Dead Spider made the tree using chicken wire, paper mache and paint. I don’t think I could make one as well but it would be fun trying. See Aranamuerta’s site to check out some of Dead Spider’s awesome art.

rosemary xmas treeRosemary Christmas Tree:

At Gardens Ablaze, they found this gorgeous Rosemary Christmas Tree for seven dollars! It needs a little decor but I love the shape of it. Gardens Ablaze is very informative and fun with all sorts of gardening information. I love the smell of rosemary and it’s a wonderful idea for holiday decor that doubles as a culinary herb.

Soda Can Christmas Tree:

Here’s a video of a Christmas tree made out of Mountain Dew pop cans and pvc pipes. It’s six feet tall with a lit up plastic bottle for the tree topper. To see more pictures and information on its construction see the Mountain Dew Christmas Tree’s website.
