5 unusual DIY Xmas tree ideas

A ladder
Who would think a step ladder could be
transformed into something so magical? But from
the vantage point of some creative people in the
world, the ladder is a potentially cool Xmas
tree. It will look particularly charming in a
studio apartment, enhancing the casual nature of
the surroundings.

Books
Yes, why not! Its an innovative idea and sort of
part festive, part cute, part cerebral. The trick
to getting this one right is to have big heavy
books like dictionaries and coffee table books at
the bottom so theres foundation and some kind of
aesthetic balance. Then, of course, you have
mid-sized and large books as you go along.

Beer bottles
This one is not for the easy going or for the
faint hearted. Its the hardest one to put up.
For starters, youre going to need over a hundred
beer bottles. Yes, go figure. Then youll need to
be very nimble with your hands as they organize
them in the shape of a tree. And yes if you have
kids or pets at home, this one is probably not a
good idea.

Wall-mounted
This one is my favourite for the sheer style of
it! Its going to be a 2D tree, not a 3D one but
its going to be different and very cool. The
idea is to create the shape of the tree on the
wall with stickers and other knick knacks. Drive
in a series of nails into the wall and just go
crazy putting up socks, magnets, ear rings,
bangles and scores of interesting titbits to
create the illusion of the tree!

Wooden logs
This is a very wintry, log cabin kind of tree.
Find a set of sawed-off wood blocks and arrange
them in the shape of a tree on the wall. To
contrast the muted tones of the wood, try adding
cotton to mimic snow and red and green ornaments.
The trick to getting this one right is to do very
little and to do it well. Candles on either side
will make a nice touch!
