Christmas tree with jute rope

Christmas tree with jute rope

We propose you a great idea for this Christmas. We have created thanks to few materials this nice tree made with jute rope. The idea is based on a recycled cover from any container, where we will place some sticks around its circumference. Next, we go around the jute rope outside the sticks. The final idea is to place some pretty led lights that we can find in many bazaars.

The materials I have used for the Christmas tree:

  • 1 thin recycled lid 26 cm in diameter.
  • 8 wooden sticks 12 cm long.
  • Jute rope (not too thin, not too thick).
  • Hot silicone and his gun.
  • 1 decorative star
  • Colored lights type Led.
  • White acrylic paint.
  • Brush.
  • Cutter.
  • Scissors.

You can see this craft step by step in the following video:

First step:

We painted one side of the lid of white acrylic paint. We let it dry. Next, cut the lid with a cutter and making the quadrangular shape, where the battery of the lights can enter.

Second step:

We start by gluing the sticks. We start with one, pouring a drop of silicone on the bottom of the stick and sticking it on the lid. The idea is glue the first 4 sticks perpendicularly and we will do it by pasting it in the same way as the first one. Then we will glue the following sticks in the remaining holes.

Third step:

Let's gluing the rope around the sticks. We will start at the bottom, taking one of the ends of the rope. We will be sticking it with the hot silicone. First we apply the silicone on the edge of the lid and then we add it to the wooden sticks so that the rope sticks. We will do it to the tip of the cone.

Fourth step:

We glue the decorative star on the top.

Fifth step:

We put the battery inside the opening of the cover. With the rest of the lights, we will wrap it around the tree. So that the wires of the lights are well attached, it can be glued with a little silicone, but be careful with the heat of the glue, so as not to burn the plastic that surrounds the cable.
