If you do not have the space or the time to make a traditional Christmas tree, you might look for simple and affordable alternatives. I spotted three Christmas trees online that are made with unconventional materials. Plus, they are reusable years after years.
First, Cascades launched a recycled cardboard Christmas tree line. Available in three declinations, their height varies from 52 inches to 24 inches. My favorite model is the tallest one, Moderno in natural cardboard with printed decorations. It also comes in white or in a green version, that you or your kids can decorate.
Smaller Christmas trees
If you are looking for smaller trees, you will find at trees from 3 feet to 1 foot at the Cardboard Christmas Tree. They come with cardboard ornaments and a stand that you can use as is or paint.
Or you may prefer the more traditional style of the 24-inch TOTEM Xmas Tree available at Hip from Holland. It comes with angel, deer, peace doves, candles, decorations and a star to out at the top.
SOURCING:
+ Moderno Recycled Cardboard Christmas tree $37 CAD
