This Christmas you can make these simple ones cardboard trees. She nice way to recycle, where we will only need a little jute rope and cardboard which was already in disrepair. We will make the shape and then we will roll the rope, which we will glue with hot silicone, a practical glue for quickly gluing materials.
If you like home decorations, you can do some of the crafts that have been successful:
The materials that have been used for the rope trees to decorate:
- Thin cardboard.
- Jute rope.
- Large gold-colored beads, with a large hole for the rope to enter.
- Hot silicone and his gun.
- Punching machine to make holes.
- Scissors.
You can see this manual step by step in the following video:
First step:
We cut out a cardboard with Triangular shape. Then we will make two cuts at the base of the triangle, to form the trunk, then we will cut out the pieces of cardboard that we will not use.
Second step:
We prepare the rope. We will roll from the trunk of the tree upwards. We add silicone little by little so that the rope sticks as we place it. We will also tighten the turns well and lower the rope so that it is very compact.
Third step:
When we arrive with the rope up, we leave a space to be able to do it. a hole with a punch. This hole will help us hang the tree wherever we want. Finally, we continue winding the rope around the entire tree. Afterwards, all that remains is to move the rope aside a little to access the hole.
Fourth step:
We catch a piece of rope almost a meter long to wind the tree. We glue one of the ends to the back. We pull the rope forward and put 3 wooden beads. Then we will roll it up and strategically place the beads in the position we want. We finish winding the rope and We glue the end to the back. In this way, we will have our little trees made, you can make a few in a few hours and decorate a corner of the house. They look vintage and have a special charm.
