To welcome Christmas🎄 with everything ready, it is super important to prepare, organize yourself in advance, save if possible. I am referring to all of you on the subject of "Decorations". Crafts in this sense are extremely important as well as recycling ♻️.
Many families, including mine 🤱, love Christmas decorations, both those we can buy and those we make with a lot of love 💚. Right now, the to-do list has its pending items 📝, but we still hope that everything is ready for the arrival of the most beautiful time of the year🎉. Here I leave you the step by step of a beautiful mini Christmas tree 🎄 in neutral colors, rustic materials and recycling ♻️. It will be the reference for Christmas decoration 🎄 at home 🏡.

Procedimiento - Procedure
The starting point for this project is to find a CD 💿 that we have recycled, as well as cardboard from boxes that will serve to give more support to the CD for the next step. We take the measurement of the CD on the cardboard, cut it and glue it with hot silicone.
The next step is to glue the bamboo sticks one by one around the CD 💿, leaving approximately 1 cm between them. Everything will depend on the creativity of each person, whether they want it more closed or more open. Once all the sticks are glued with the hot silicone, we must secure them all at the tip. A kind of cone will form.
The next step is to start gluing the jute thread with hot silicone. From the base to the tip, so that it surrounds the entire cone. Just like the previous step, it will depend on whether we want it thicker or not.
At this point, we are going to start with the details that will make this little Christmas tree stand out 🎄. To cover the imperfections of the toothpicks at the base and at the same time give a more rustic and natural touch to our decoration, I added a scrap of jute fabric, which I folded as I glued it, so that it looked like a neat job.
With all the details sorted out, the tree assembled and firm, it was time for the decoration. To keep the rustic and neutral style, but at the same time Christmassy, I decided to add some orange Murano stones 🧡 that will act as the baubles. The color is not too flashy, they still have a beautiful shine 🔆 that I love. I also added white fabric flowers 🤍 to give it a touch more color while keeping it neutral.
With the jute fabric secured at the base, we will add a triple cord in a green color 💚. This will not only give a more Christmassy touch to our mini tree, but will also cover any details.
To finish our cute mini Christmas pine 🎄, it's time to place the star on top of the tree, in reality it's the task that children love the most, hehe. I made this star 💫 with gold mirror-type cardboard. I cut two identical stars to place them on top of each other with the help of double-sided tape, this effect was super cute.
At the beginning of the tutorial I showed you how to create more support for the CD or base of the tree with the recycled cardboard ♻️, but you can also notice a hole in the center. That hollow circle will serve to include the Christmas lights. This little tree works as a decoration with or without lights 🚨, however that possibility is open.
Christmas 🎄 is the time of year that I love the most, the decorations are beautiful, some temporary, some novel, there are all kinds of details that are born from the imagination, it is pure magic, for that reason and for more I love Christmas, equally the handmade with love 😉❤️💚...
