Wreath Christmas Tree
Do you live in an apartment or small house? Chances are, you
don't have a lot of floor space on which to put a Christmas
tree. On the other hand, there is often unused wall space. This
is a fun and novel project to solve your tree dilemma.
Items needed:
9 artificial holiday wreaths Green florist's wire 1 box of
Christmas bulbs Hooks 12 inches of ribbon Lights or any other
decoration that you fancy
Directions:
Cut lengths of the wire and wire three of the wreaths together
in a line. Then wire two together. Now center the two on the
three and wire them together, pyramid style. Then wire the
remaining wreath centered on the two. You now have your tree.
Loop the ribbon through the single wreath and tie it in a strong
knot. Make a bow if you wish. This will be what you will use to
hang your "tree."
If you wish to wrap lights or tinsel around your tree, do this
now, before you hang it.
Hang your tree. Place the bulbs on the hooks and hang one inside
each wreath and the remainder along the bottom.
Now, sit back and enjoy your new tree!
Some options: Be creative when choosing your wreaths! You are
not limited to plain green. What about some that already have
pinecones and flocking on them? For a rustic look, choose
grapevine wreaths and rusty metal decorations. For a country
look, pick straw wreaths.
You aren't limited to ribbon. Raffia, rope, a bandana and baling
wire are just a few different looks you could use. Just make
sure it will be strong enough to hold your tree.
In place of traditional bulbs, try clove studded oranges,
collection of small Santas or even sports figures!
Your imagination is your only limit!
