DIY Christmas Tree (From Wire Hangers!)

After I made the three main pieces, I inserted the leg of the 2nd and 3rd piece through the middle of the first piece to form the tree frame.   The legs should end up all be equal distances apart.

I taped the top overlapping pieces together, and the overlapping pieces in the tree’s center together with masking tape.

Here’s what it looks like from the top view.

I first wrapped the lights around the tree form, starting from the top and ending at the bottom.  I secured the lights with tape in a few places that weren’t staying where I wanted them to, but overall they stayed put.

Next I wrapped the garland around the tree form and lights, starting from the top and ending at the bottom.  I would occasionally wrap the garland around a piece of the hanger to make sure it stayed in place, while continuing to work my way down to the base.

If you’re having a hard time getting the lights and garland to stay where you want them, you could also secure them with green twist ties.
