As a college student during Christmas time it can be difficult to afford a Christmas tree, especially when you share an apartment with a roommate and don't want to have split the cost at first and then later decide who gets the tree.
So, I made my own Christmas tree out of 2 1/2 yards of green felt from Hobby Lobby.
Draw a Christmas tree template onto the felt to be cut out, this tree is about 6 ft. tall by 3 ft. My roommate and I kept it up on the wall using a stapler and then strung a string of christmas lights to really sparkle, also using a stapler.
Then we joined the lights with some garland that we had from last year's Christmas decorations that we bought at a nearby dollar store, not too shabby huh?
Then we topped it with a felt star using the excess green felt that I just painted with gold glitter paint and, of course, stapled at the top of the tree separately.
In total, this project cost about $10!
This is perfect for a couple of college students who just want to decorate their apartment for the festivities.
