How to make a Christmas tree out of spruce branches step by step?
Step 1 - choosing a material for the Christmas tree
To make the Christmas tree we will needkitchen towel rolls(or toilet paper), cords or ribbons andfresh spruce branchesOne of the spruce trees worth recommending is more beautiful species, extremely decorative, blue spruce. Its stiff needles delight with a steel blue color. It is commonly called silver spruce. Another positive feature is the denser branching of this tree compared to the Norway spruce.We start creating a Christmas tree by cutting a few spruce branches into smaller pieces. Among them, let's try to include longer fragments, as well as shorter and slightly wider ones. The longer ones will be used to create the base of the Christmas tree, and the shorter ones for filling and giving the desired conical shape.
