You probably have seen some DIY we made for our Christmas decor using strings if you have followed us. If not, check the string Christmas balls and string star ornaments that we made. They are a big hit. 

We adore both the ornaments because they are minimalist and rustic, which perfectly complimented the green Christmas tree. They are super easy to make, and we consider it timeless decor. 

So what else can you make using a string?

In this post, we’ll show you how to make a string Christmas tree. A straightforward and budget-friendly DIY that you can put as a centrepiece on your table. 

How to make a String Christmas Tree

Watch the video tutorial or read the written tutorial below.

You’ll need:

Strings (Yarn, jute twine)
Craft Glue (Elmer’s Glue)
Water
Saran Wrap or cling wrap
Cone

1. Make a cone out of cardstock, or you can purchase a cone from your local craft store. The cone will serve as the mould.

2. Wrap it with saran wrap to prevent the string from sticking on the cone

3. Mix 4 parts of glue and 1 part of water. 

4. Soak the string. Start with at least 2 meters of string. Then squeeze out the excess glue and water mixture.

5. Secure first the end of the string as shown in the photo. Then wrap the string on the cone mould starting on the top. Add more string if you like thicker and firmer string cones.

6. Let it dry completely. Drying time will depend on how thick your string is and the environment. It took us 30 seconds to 1 hour to dry the string cone because we let it sit on top of the heater vent.

7. Then slowly remove it from the mould.

And there you have it, easy peasy budget-friendly mini Christmas tree.
