Don’t feel like you have loads of money to go out and purchase a Christmas Tree this season? Especially for college students who more than likely wont be around for the actual Holiday itself there’s a great way to celebrate the season without all the expense.
Make your tree.
All it takes to make an awesome tannenbaum this holiday season is a couple yards of butcher paper, a few sheets of construction paper, yarn, staples and tape. We constructed this beauty last Saturday night.
We traced a spoon and created the lights and kind of eyeballed the shape of the rest of it. It may not smell like a real tree – but for someone on a budget it definitely works.
We’ve even taken frugality to the next level by making our ornaments out of recycled things. Some of our ornaments are old yogurt lids, soup can lids, wrappers cut to look like ornaments or scraps of paper shaped to look like ornaments. There’s also a napkin cut into a snowflake as well as junk mail cut into ornaments. Be creative and make it your own. Make it a tree to remember!
