      1. Cut green plastic
      2. Wrap plastic around thick metal wire
      3. Connect metal wire to center pole
      4. Repeat
      5. Add stand
      Do you really need a video to figure that out?

Granted the they are artificial. But their still beautiful and it doesn’t have to take away the joy. You get from decorating them at Christmas time. It just depends on the individual. Imho knowing I live alone. It’s no fun decorating a tree by myself. Since I would be the only one to see it. Merry Christmas Everyone! 😊

    This is the way to go every Christmas year. It is such a waste of natural resource and energy to buy a real tree just to sit in a house for a month then to throw it away. It takes at least 10 years for a tree to grow 6 to 8 feet tall. It's also crazy how corporations are fully able to grow enough trees for millions of people to buy but not able to just let them grow to replenish the Earth's trees that have been cut down for thousands of years and to help the environment.
