DIY Christmas tree made of leather or tractor hose – Recycle in style!
Welcome to the ultimate guide to making a DIY Christmas tree that not only looks amazing, but is also made from recycled materials like leather or an old tractor hose. Yes, you read that right – a tractor hose! Because who needs a boring plastic tree when you can create something unique that oozes raw charm and sustainability?
Plastic trees are so last season
We all know the feeling. Every year we pull the same synthetic spruce out of the attic and it sprinkles absolutely nothing – which is convenient, but also a bit boring. On the other hand, there’s the classic conifer, which smells great but leaves your floor a green battlefield of needles.
And then there’s the price. A new Christmas tree quickly costs a small fortune and it only lasts a month before it looks tired. What if we told you that you can make a DIY Christmas tree that lasts year after year and looks super cool?
And what about the environment?
Plastic trees are not exactly nature’s best friend. They take hundreds of years to decompose and to be honest, they’re rarely as beautiful as a real tree. On the other hand, a real Christmas tree isn’t the most sustainable option when we cut down millions of trees every year only to throw them away in January.
But what if we could make a Christmas tree from something that already exists? Something that would otherwise be waste? This is where our DIY Christmas tree made from leather or tractor hose comes in. Recycling, style and durability all in one package.
Make your own DIY Christmas tree
It’s about to get fun! To make a DIY Christmas tree out of leather or tractor hose, you’ll need some simple materials, a little creativity and a good dose of Christmas spirit.
Why choose leather or tractor hose?
- Unique style – Your Christmas tree will have a raw, Scandinavian look that stands out from the crowd.
- Free materials – Do you have an old leather jacket that never gets used? Or can you get hold of a used tractor hose from a farmer? Then you’re well on your way.
- Long durability – Unlike a regular Christmas tree, this tree can be used year after year without losing its needles or charm.
- Sustainability – You reduce waste and give new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.
How do you do it?
While we won’t reveal the full pattern here (you’ll have to find it yourself), we can reveal that the process is surprisingly simple. It’s a matter of cutting the materials into suitable shapes, assembling them into a Christmas tree design and decorating with some LED lights or baubles. Easy, right?
Should it be leather or tractor hose?
If you’re going for a more exclusive look, leather can be the way to go. It gives a warm, vintage feel and can be customized in many shapes. The tractor hose, on the other hand, gives a more industrial feel and is incredibly durable – perfect for outdoor use.
And the best part? Both materials are often available for free if you ask in the right places!
Extra tips to spice up your DIY Christmas tree
- LED lights – Nothing says “Christmas cheer” like a few pretty lights.
- Recycled decorations – Make decorations from old jewelry, metal scraps or fabric scraps.
- Spray paint – Give your wood a unique color if you want to be extra creative.
- Scent – Feel like you’re missing that pine smell? Drizzle some pine scented essential oil on your tree!
