This is made from old and broken Christmas Decorations

I can now feel the season of Christmas here in my country. Others have already put Christmas Lanterns and Lights in front of their house. While some are already fixing and cleaning their Christmas Trees. It seems weird, but we are known for having this kind of tradition where we celebrate Christmas for almost four months(from September to October).

I'm supposed to do some cleaning and decluttering in the house, but I found my broken and old Christmas Decorations that was used for almost ten years which caught my attention. They does not seemed old, maybe due to my carefulness in storing and keeping them, but I can't do anything to make them last longer because of their brittleness. They just look like a piece of trash, so I considered throwing them. But an idea and inspiration just came in my mind.

My imagination and creativity started to run and work. I had an idea what to do with these old Christmas Decors. I can make a new design by combining them together.

Time to start working and gather some materials.

MATERIALS

  • Old Christmas Decorations
  • Old Steel
  • Old Wires
  • Glue Gun and Glue Stick

Process

I tried to look for a base or main frame of my Christmas Decor. This old steel is good enough. I just need to do some bending to make a curve.

Next, I started on untwisting the old wires that will be used later.

Then I collected all the silver leaves to start my design. To give you an idea, the real Christmas Decor looks like this. Though, it is not complete as it was before at least you have a quick view of it.

Those three parts will be used, but I will separate them all to achieve my desired look and design.

For now, I will start on the silver leaves.

I will make a branch of three leaves on each side by using the old wires and tying them together.

The one side is done, I just need to repeat the process for the other side.

And it will look like this

Next, I will put this on the main frame which is the steel that I bent a while ago.

If you noticed in the previous picture. I left two untied wires which will be use for tying it together with the frame.

I am not satisfied with the number of silver leaves, so I added more making it six on each side.

After that, I will add the blue flowers. I will put a wire stem for the flowers, so it will be easy for me to tie it in the frame.

The wire is still noticeable, I have to cover it with the blue buds.
