Christmas tree made of wooden strips – The needle-free Christmas tree

They like fir trees, but fear a completely needled living room? Then this one is non-needling, space-saving stowable Christmas tree an alternative for you.

Who does not know that? The living room is pleasantly warm and the snow is not falling quietly, but the pine needles. You can avoid this with our modern version. It is made of the same wood as a real Christmas tree, but does not cultivate its bad habits.

For the tree you will need approx 14 lfd.m rectangle strips from 2 x 5 cm (33 Euro). The exact measurement depends on the size of the tree, i.e. how long the strips are and how many sections you can therefore cut out of a strip. Next become one 1 m long 10 mm threaded rod with two nuts (4 Euro) used as well 18 washers (3 Euro), that come between each "floor"., so that all branches can rotate freely and do not lie on top of each other. As a grand finale, a wooden ball (2 Euro), a curtain rod holder (about 5 Euro) as well as two decoration stars (is 1,50 Euro). This results in costs of just under 49 euros without color, but the Christmas tree lasts forever!

1 Für den Schrägschnitt benötigen Sie eine Schneidlade. Two right-angled triangular pieces of wood with a leg ratio of 2:3 are screwed together and attached to the cross stop of the circular saw using a screw clamp.

2 Jede Leiste wird mittels Forstnerbohrer (24 mm) provided with two blind holes, the candlesticks (22,5 mm) glued in place with glue.

3 tip: Does the ball already have a hole?, you center them so skilfully in the vise.

4 Erst ein 20-mm-Sackloch zur Aufnahme der Sechskantmutter, then drill a 10mm hole for the threaded rod.

5 Ein Gardinenstangenhalter und zwei Stern-Dekoklammern (Gardinia/Max Bahr) form the top. Shorten the staples with side cutters, that they fit into the curtain holder.
