How to Make a Recycled DIY Santa Christmas Tree:
Step 1
Place a large pot down the area where you want your tree to be, then put the pipe or tube at the center of the pot, and fill the sides with rocks to make it stable. Shape the wire net into a cone as shown in the video, then tie the ends together securely with a piece of wire, and insert it down the tube or pipe, attach the garland all around the cone until completely covered, then shape a large piece of cardboard or craft paper into a cone, and cut the bottom straight.

Step 2
Place the fur on top of the tree for the beard, then put the cone on top for the hat frame, and attach a large ball ornament underneath the cone making sure it’s centered for the nose. Sew a cone-shaped fabric, then wear it on the hat frame, and make the fabric pieces for the hands and arms. Stuff the arms and hands with poly-fil fiberfill, then stitch the opening closed and attach the arms on each side of the tree. Decorate the tree with Christmas balls, then wrap a fabric around the base of the tree, and decorate it as well.
