However, saving money on a Christmas tree, even alive, is real. It is cheaper to buy pine by contacting the local forestry.

Or make a Christmas tree with your own hands. For example:
- decorate a burlap wall Christmas tree with natural materials;
- make a coniferous beauty from corrugated paper ribbons and fix it on a door or wall;
- make a cone out of Whatman paper and wrap with tinsel, etc.
You can do with even the most unexpected improvised means, for example, fold and glue a painted pyramid of toilet paper rolls and insert a Christmas tree ball into each "window". Whichever option you choose for interior decoration, the craft will delight the eye for a long time, will not fade and can stay with you until spring.
