I think it's time to think about this. In general, the sooner you start, the longer it seems to me. So let's start, and let's start with there are many ways to install it, everyone has their own. Who puts a Christmas tree on a cross, but on such a cross, especially if the room is warm, it will not stand for long. There is a lot of hassle with sand, especially in the city, where it is not always at hand. There is another, very simple way to install a Christmas tree.
Installing a Christmas tree in the apartment
To do this, we will take one and a half liters or 2.5 liters and use them to install the Christmas tree in a bucket. We fill the bottles with water, so they will give the tree and bucket good stability. They need to be turned upside down and distributed tightly throughout the bucket, and a Christmas tree should be placed in the very center of the bucket. Then we pour water into the remaining volume in the bucket and disguise this entire unsightly stand with something, preferably something white, of course - the same sheet or other material reminiscent of snow.
Food for the Christmas tree
Although the tree is no longer alive, it still, by inertia, continues to slowly “drink” water, and sometimes it “drinks” 2-3 liters a whole day. Therefore, you should not forget to “give her water”; it is better to do this every day. So, your Christmas tree can stand in water for a very long time, of course, under optimal conditions for it. Just don’t forget to add water and make sure that the water doesn’t sour or spoil; you can use various solutions for this. Such solutions are also good feeding.
Before you install the tree, you should definitely “update” the place of the frame on the trunk and also remove the bark at the bottom of the trunk by 10-12 centimeters.
One of the nutritional composition options for the Christmas tree
There are a lot of nutrient solutions for Christmas trees. Everything is simple here too, you don’t need to bother and it’s better to use what you have in the house.
For example, 1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water, you can add the same salt that is used for baths (preferably with pine extract), you can add sea salt or just iodized table salt. Quite suitable as such additives, essential oil, again coniferous (10 drops per the same liter of water); 2 or 3 aspirin tablets, a couple of spoons of sugar or mustard. To extend the life of your Christmas tree, you can add glycerin to the water (stir 2 tablespoons in 10 liters of water), a pinch of salt, a spoonful of sugar or the same aspirin tablet.

You can install a New Year tree not only in the house, but also on the street. It’s especially good when a live spruce grows in front of the house, then you don’t need to buy anything or bother with installation. By the way, despite the fact that at the moment it is still November, you need to think about installing a Christmas tree right now, the same can be said about pyrotechnics. It's best to visit a fireworks store soon because the price of everything will likely be lower than in the second half of December. And also, if you buy fireworks, do it in the Ba-Bah store, which can be found on the website ba-bah.ru. They have a huge collection of pyrotechnics. Moreover, everything presented has highest quality. As for the prices, they cannot be called high, at least they are not higher than average.
What you need to install a Christmas tree outside
To install a spruce tree outdoors you will need some kind of holder. The easiest way is to use a steel pipe for this; it can be driven into the ground and you’re good to go. You can also use a portable holder made of wood. Of course, the Christmas tree holder can be welded from rolled steel.
For windows, the most important thing is to take care that the decorations do not block the natural light, so it is recommended to place colored lights in the frame. We can also centralize the lighting at the top or bottom of the window, and on the opposite side there are garlands and red balls mixed with some gold loop. At this point we can intercalate other types of hanging figures, such as deer, pine trees, snowflakes, stars or Santa Claus figures.
They are similar to traditional Christmas lights, but can be controlled remotely using an app downloaded to your cell phone. So we can choose when to turn on and off, set schedules, set flicker frequency and intensity in real time, something kids love. Wearing home interior.
Three ways to install a tree
The easiest way is to use steel pipe suitable diameter. Inner diameter the pipe should be slightly larger than the thickness of the spruce trunk. All you need to do is drive the pipe vertically into the ground, about thirty centimeters deep. To do this you will need a sledgehammer. This needs to be done now, because soon the ground will freeze, which will make installing the pipe almost impossible.
When we think of Christmas decorations, the top of the list is the tree. This is the first thing that should capture the point of view, and for this reason, to look for it is a room in free space treatment and which does not cover the light that enters the windows.
When choosing tree decoration, we must maintain harmony with the exterior decoration and decorations for windows, frames and fireplace. Tree size: The rule is simple: large for large spaces and small for confined spaces. In fact, if the house is very small, then there is a small artificial pine tree on the table. This year, as a novelty, some people prefer metal trees up to 70 centimeters high.
The next method is to use a wooden holder. It can be knocked down from solid wood, namely from timber and beams; you can also use boards. In the center of such structures, a square of suitable size is usually arranged. As for the legs, there are usually four of them. You need to place such a stand under the spruce where it is level.
Colors: Although it may not seem like it, we can innovate with a color palette. Cecilia Frias told us that many elements that had not been seen before, in copper tones, pale pink, mint, are used to avoid the typical green, white and red. We also have clients who love the combination of silver and blue to brighten up both your tree and your living room.
A gentle touch: There may be fake wrapped gifts around the tree. They are made very simply by wrapping empty boxes with papers in the same color range and adding ribbons and bows. If the tree is small and goes across the table, select small boxes. Important: if the tree is very decorated, we save it to decorate a lot of its surroundings to avoid saturation of objects.
The third way to install a spruce tree is to use another holder, but not made of wood, but of metal. To manufacture such a structure you will need rolled metal and welding machine. From metal, a piece of steel pipe, corners, square pipe, and indeed everything that can be used in this matter.
In Bolivia, Christmas has a very deep religious meaning, which is represented primarily in the drawing of the Nativity or Nativity. If the space is large, we can add some numbers and place them on the table near the tree; if there is not enough space, it is enough with small figures of the Virgin, Joseph and Child Jesus.
A crib for children that adds tenderness to the decor and will delight the little ones
There are thousands of ideas to dress up furniture with Christmas details; but it is important to always go for some touches and not completely cover the furniture with decoration. "It's very popular this year to buy pillows with Christmas motifs such as trees, reindeer or words embroidered in gold," our design link says. Another nice decorative detail for the table is to add loops to the backs of the chairs. You can use ties to hang silver or gold jewelry, as well as pineapples, branches, bells or balls.
It is worth noting that to install a Christmas tree outside you will need not only a holder, but also a garland, as well as Christmas decorations. Moreover, it is desirable that the garland be large, like the toys.
There is such a good one convenient option crosses for the Christmas tree.
Of course, you can just put sand in a bucket and put a Christmas tree in it, or you can make something original and interesting if you want. For this, we will need such available materials.
It all depends on the size of the tree, the larger the tree, the larger the cross should be. Now, we weld the coffee can to the plate.
To increase stability, you need to solder stiffeners to the can on three sides, as in the photo.
And we fix the wooden boards into a cross using glue.
All that remains is to secure the can with screws to the wooden crosspiece. We also screw in screws from three sides to secure the tree.
That's it, all that's left to do is fix the tree and decorate it to hide all the ugly places.
The tables are the stars of Christmas Eve. Flat or plain tablecloths, white or red, are preferred. Classic decorations include candles, branches, red ribbons and pineapples. Ideas in: A very popular trend is to place Christmas balls in glass jars, and a subtle detail is to turn the glasses into a table with balls inside, with small candles, thick, making your own Christmas candle holders.
The most elegant items are now fashionable, like large trays with Christmas motifs such as turkey or other foods in silver and gold tones, matching bowls and plates with edges and gold or silver. The same is true for the napkin item, with finer fabrics and also with certain embroidery in these shades and always accompanied by some decorations such as animals or angels, explains Cecilia Frias.
Now we have a large artificial tree, but before we always bought a New Year's tree live spruce, for which a metal stand was specially made from metal corners, welded in the shape of a cross, in the center of which a pipe was welded, the diameter of which was well suited to the thickness of the young spruce trunk. The height of the pipe is about 25-30 cm, so that the trunk of the tree is securely and steadily fixed in it. This entire metal structure was painted with green paint (the color can be any desired, especially since the stand is draped with something for a more aesthetic appearance anyway).
Candles: Alone or in small groups, they can be on low-height bases or in candelabra. The important thing is that they do not interfere with the view of visitors between them. Flower arrangements: Mistletoe in portals, fir branches on the windowsill or holly on the tables. Place them as little touches here and there, depending on personal taste, without overusing them.
Flower poinsettia is a trend used in Christmas tables
Stockings: These are traditional decorations to dress the mantelpiece or hang in neat groups, with Christmas flowers and, if you like, printed motifs.
Now, of course, there are no problems - I took out the artificial “forest beauty”, collected and hung toys and other decorations. It looks like it's alive, but there is one significant drawback - it doesn't smell like pine needles. But we found a way out of the situation: down under the artificial Christmas tree we put small live spruce branches with fresh pine aroma. That’s when you really feel the New Year’s fairy-tale atmosphere of the wonderful holiday that we all love so much.
What can never be lost is small tree for decorating tables. Its decoration should match a range of colors, so it is better not to overload it. In more serious professional premises the balls and garlands of these seedlings should be gold or silver.
How to install a live Christmas tree at home
What is used a lot this year is to buy gold or silver trees, explains Cecilia Frias. In more informal settings, colors can be mixed and decorations need not be limited to spheres. Batons, Santa Claus figures, bells, stars or ribbons can always be inserted with good taste and the criterion for not recharging the look.
We make it very simple. Since the fall, I have always had soil for seedlings on my loggia. We put the Christmas tree in this soil. We expose the end of the tree trunk. The bucket of soil where we put the spruce is large. My husband also makes two clamps from wood. The clamps are also placed in the bucket. One end of the clamp rests against the wall of the bucket, and the other against the barrel. New Year's beauty stands strong. I wrap the bucket in beautiful shiny paper. You can decorate it in another way, just show your imagination. In general, it’s simple, inexpensive and beautiful. Yes, we also water the Christmas tree from time to time. That's why she doesn't shed her needles for a long time.
For windows, it is designed to dress its outline with lights of the same color. You can also decorate the walls and ceilings with several balloons of different colors and hang red ribbons. What you should always remember is not to saturate the spaces. Decoration is a touch that beautifies the environment without hiding or dissolving it.

DIY Christmas tree stand
For a tree to stand well, it needs a good base.
The basis for a Christmas tree can be anything. For example, if you are a student, come up with a bucket in which bottles of water are placed in a circle, and the center should be empty.

We love this photo to attract thousands of ideas for this Christmas, there are a lot of details. Table track made with pine branches alternating with green leaves. Interweaving garlands of lights. The rustic touch of Christmas is provided by the wooden chest. A simple glass canister protects the sail. We love the tablecloth, so trendy this season. The bell is used to attach tags that determine the place they occupy at the table. There are very few Christmases in a pure state.
Such a base, of course, is not very beautiful, but it is very affordable and everyone in the house will have the tools for this.
The main thing if you use this method is to properly cover the bucket of water so that no one can see what you are holding the tree on)
The most popular stand, which can be made from 2 boards and a pair of nails, is also suitable.
We love the simplicity of this Christmas wreath made with dried branches and moss. In the photo we see the red strokes characteristic of Christmas. A wish list for the whole family to write this Christmas. Christmas cards are placed on a simple rope, secured with tweezers, to decorate the ladder, which at the same time serves as a hanger. Very practical idea for this Christmas.
In this photo we love the staircase railing, surrounded by a green garland intertwined with a line of light. Just touch this idea to create a Christmas atmosphere in your home. If you're short on space, this idea is super simple and full of creativity. The glass jars are placed in a triangular shape with Christmas elements inside. The styling ends with a simple garland of light bulbs, a star in the highest part of the tree and a garland of silver balls.
In order to make it, you need to cut a hole with a diameter the size of your tree trunk; the boards can be rounded at the ends so that no one hits.
It is better to place the Christmas tree in sand or earth + sand, then it can stand for quite a long time. I also have a bucket in which greenery grows on the loggia in the summer, and on New Year’s days it serves as a container with soil for the Christmas tree. Place the bucket with the Christmas tree upside down inside old stool, the tree is additionally fixed to it with a cord. Afterwards everything is covered with tinsel.
Take advantage of those glass jars that you have at home. Inside is the red color of the Easter flower, so characteristic of Christmas. If you like simple things, this idea is perfect for decorating any corner of your home this Christmas.

Red balls are stacked inside glass lid, metal cups that serve as makeshift vases to place green tint some pine branches. Everything about this idea breathes Christmas.
If you urgently need a stand, you can use a 5-liter plastic bottle, which needs to be cut into two parts. Paste into each other. A cylinder is inserted into the neck; this could be a suitable cosmetics bottle. Set up the Christmas tree, pour water. Plastic bottle It’s very light; to make it heavier, you can add extra sand or lay stones in it.
Old cross-skis on the wall serve as the basis for an Advent wreath. Either back could add more body to the crown. We love this idea for Christmas at home. In tones, "craft" is a Christmas idea. And as gifts that match blue, like the rope that holds and wraps the pine garland of stair railings. We look at trees made from worn wooden sticks, typical of those that drag the sea to the beaches. This gives us a great idea to take advantage of this Christmas holiday and take these to our beautiful beaches wooden sticks to make the tree like a family.
I have never used a stand for a Christmas tree, because if the tree is alive, then the trunk must be in the water, but this does not happen with a stand. My option is this:
I take a metal bucket and put the Christmas tree in it, and along the edges I lay cobblestones, specially prepared in advance, on top I push the tree with slats, there are 4 of them, hammering them between the walls of the bucket...
And in conclusion
Garland in shades of brown and green serves to stand out above the white fireplace. The idea of mixing dry brown tones with green tones provides a very good contrast to brighten up any corner. Create a Christmas tree with pine cones. Make yourself a cone-shaped foam base. Basic anchor in container. The lower part has larger pineapples and the upper part has smaller ones. Cover with foam by gluing a sheet of moss between the pine cones. The idea is to make this Christmas like a family.
Make your own crown to welcome your guests this Christmas. Get creative with different details, such as feathers or pine cones tied with a simple cotton bow. A 100% customizable idea to make with your family this Christmas.
The tree in such a bucket will not stand strong enough, so I tie four sticks to the bucket at an angle...
Then I fill it with cold water, add 2-3 teaspoons of sugar and a spoonful of vinegar (I once read it to help the tree stand longer), and then every day I add cold water, depending on how the level goes, and after a while I add sugar...
If the tree is alive, then you need a bucket and water is needed as for flowers, usually, so that the bucket does not turn over, they put a weighting agent inside - stones, you can make wooden spacers on the bucket in the form of a cross, which will not allow the tree to fall, and at the bottom there will be stones in the bucket and the bucket will be hold on, for aesthetics we hide the bucket under a white cloth or cover it with cotton wool.
I have an artificial tree and everything is much simpler: attach a crosspiece to an old stool and insert the trunk of the tree and cover the entire stool with fabric, decorate it with tinsel, there is no smell, but you don’t have to throw away the tree after the holidays and there is no garbage - there are no needles either.
There is a bucket with stones on the balcony, in which we place the Christmas tree, pressing it between the stones. We add water to this bucket, the tree remains fresh and green for a long time. We drape the bucket with white cloth. True, this year we bought a stand with a simple design. An iron container is about three liters with three screws that are welded to it, the tree is clamped between them, water is poured into the container, this design certainly looks more aesthetically pleasing than a bucket with stones.
I usually put a Christmas tree or pine tree (it’s better, it almost doesn’t fall) in a bucket of sand. The trunk at the bottom must be cleared of bark and excess lower branches removed. Then I fill the bucket with sand, spill it with water, make a hole in the center and immerse the tree trunk in the bucket. To make it fit easier, you need to screw it in. It holds strong, and if you water it regularly, it lasts a long time.
If we remember our distant Soviet childhood, we had an iron stand, otherwise I would call it technical term“pipe in a pipe”, when the tree itself is inserted into a pipe of a smaller diameter, and water is poured into a pipe of a larger diameter so that the tree can stand in your house longer without losing its precious needles. Schematically, this stand looks like this:
This design is made of thick-walled pipes to weigh down the stand and provide normal stability for the stand. You can also make holes in the cross itself so that you can screw this stand to the floor, and this will already be a super-stable stand (if, of course, you want to spoil your floor).
The main decoration of the New Year is certainly the green forest beauty, which should be installed in such a way that during the celebration it does not fall and unforeseen situations arise.
Of course, today there are a lot of different options, due to which the process of installing a Christmas tree occurs in a matter of minutes. This includes various crosspieces, spacers, and factory-made fasteners. However, sometimes it is necessary to install a Christmas tree without a cross, and we would like to talk about how to do this most optimally.
Standard installation of a Christmas tree in the sand
It involves placing the green beauty in conditions close to natural, due to which the tree does not lose its attractiveness for a long time and can delight others for a whole month.
The process of installing a Christmas tree in sand is carried out in the following sequence:
- The tree trunk is leveled (using a hacksaw, the edge of the trunk should be trimmed so that an even cut is obtained);
- Using wooden blocks 150 - 200 mm long, reinforcement is made, for which the materials are knocked together crosswise and the entire resulting structure is nailed to the end of the Christmas tree trunk;
- The trunk treated in this way is placed on the bottom of the bucket, and the entire tank is filled with raw, clean sand.
To ensure moisture, the sand should be periodically watered with warm, slightly sweetened water.
High-speed installation of a Christmas tree
A more innovative solution is to quickly install the Christmas tree using a bucket and plastic bottles (volume 1.5 - 2 liters). The essence of this method is that plastic bottles filled with water (not to capacity) and installed vertically in a bucket around the perimeter so as to provide clearance for installing the barrel. After this, the tree trunk is forcefully inserted into the cavity formed in the middle, and the tree is properly fixed in the bucket.
Essentially, the water bottles act as spacers and hold the tree trunk in position in the bucket. The advantages of this method are obvious:
- You can install a Christmas tree with any trunk diameter (by selecting plastic bottles of a certain size);
- Absolute cleanliness during work (unlike installation in sand, with this option there is absolutely no debris generated);
- Speed of work (you can install a Christmas tree without a cross using plastic bottles within a couple of minutes).
Watering such a Christmas tree is also not difficult and warm water Simply pour it into a bucket (5cm from the bottom) and add it periodically as needed.
From all of the above, we can conclude that installing a Christmas tree is a very responsible procedure, which, if you follow all the recommendations, can be done independently.
We select a good fresh Christmas tree required height. Must be remembered, which is strong a big tree(in height) will need to be cut down and your New Year's tree has the risk of losing the most beautiful and lush branches. Christmas trees with the top cut out also look very bad. Purchased Christmas tree Not recommended bring directly from the street into a warm place. Should be left it on the veranda or balcony for several hours so that the tree gets used to the warmth. Then there is a low probability that the tree will fall off earlier than usual.
Christmas tree installation process
Let's choose a place to install it in the room. Christmas tree doesn't like it's hot, so you don’t need to place it near a radiator, fireplace or stove. We take into account the fact that the tree should not only look great in the room, but also have an accessible approach. If there are children or adults at the party adult company, then you should place the Christmas tree in the center of the room. Children love to dance around the New Year tree.
Before you decided to bring the Christmas tree into the room, need to Shake it a little so that weak branches fall off. Next you need file down the trunk by two or three centimeters, or you can remove ten centimeters of bark. Such "chip" will allow your tree to drink water. We prepare the stand, as well as a container with liquid.
Christmas tree stand and some tips
Today, many stores offer a huge assortment of stands of various shapes, specially created for Christmas trees. They are equipped reservoir for water. If you have absent this device is Alternative option - a bucket of wet sand.
IN special The stands provide fastenings and clamps for the barrel. Completely make sure the fact that the tree stands strong, because the mass of the decorated tree will be greater. If you do not have such a stand, we recommend firmly securing the barrel with guy wires using strips and rope. Into the water that you use for a tree you can add one aspirin tablet, A little salt and one tablespoon Sahara, and specialized liquid, intended for cut flowers.
Don't forget regularly, add liquid to a bucket of sand, and sprinkle the branches with water, using spray.Now it is also very convenient to use a small real Christmas tree in a tub. With this option, no effort will be required from you (in the process of strengthening), and the tree can be placed on the site of your dacha.
To celebrate New Year, you need to create suitable atmosphere. And a real forest beauty will help with this. It is very important not only how the tree is decorated, but also how it is installed. Of course, many people have artificial Christmas trees in their pantries and closets, which can be quickly assembled before the celebration and disassembled after it. But these plastic analogues can never compare with the real smell of pine needles, with fluffy “spruce paws” and with the beauty of living nature.
Buy stand It’s not difficult, they are sold not only in stores, but also at points where they sell the trees themselves. This method is not even worth mentioning, but you can assemble the stand yourself. Wooden cross It is made easily and simply from two bars, which are filed and fastened together. The tree is attached using long self-tapping screw, which is screwed into the crosspiece and then into the tree trunk.
The easiest way which many people have used before is regular bucket. It filled to the middle sand or gravel, then the tree was placed in the center, and the sides were compacted with the selected material until the tree became stable. But this method has a few disadvantages. For example, get sand It’s not so easy in the city in December (unless you go to a hardware store to get it). In addition, you most likely will not be able to avoid getting this very sand on the carpet and laminate. What to do in such a situation?
The most common ones will help solve the problem. plastic bottles with a capacity of one and a half liters. Such "modernized" way involves using bottles filled with water instead of sand. They are placed around the perimeter inside the bucket, and a Christmas tree is placed in the middle. If the tree is unstable, then you need to stick small pieces of fabric between it and the bottles.
Having bought a living tree, I want to see it green and fresh long weeks, not just a few days. But very often the tree begins to lose needles immediately. What is the reason? If you purchase a tree that has been stored in the cold, do not rush to immediately bring it into storage. warm apartment. Let the spruce stand for a while in the pantry or on landing, adapts to new temperature. Only after this can you bring it into the house.
All housewives know that flowers need to be trimmed. This way they absorb water more actively and live longer. But the tree trunk also requires similar care. Carefully cut a thin piece of wood to provide the tree with a more active flow of beneficial fluid.
The water in which the Christmas tree will stand must contain antiseptic. Use the most common aspirin which prevents the development of bacteria. To nourish the forest beauty, dissolve in water a pinch of salt and dining room spoon Sahara. This “cocktail” will keep her alive for many weeks.
The ancient teaching about the correct arrangement of objects in the house allows you to distribute the energy of Qi the right way and activate the desired side of life. Some people dream of love, while others care more about their health, some have problems with their careers, and some with finances. To achieve success in the new year, set Christmas tree in the center of the room, then you can strengthen all sides equally. And for those who know exactly in which area they need special help, the Bagua grid will come in handy. Position Jelków the desired zone and look forward to changes in the new year.
We are all looking forward to the arrival of the New Year holidays. Since childhood, every person associates the New Year with miracles, with the beginning of a new, unknown. But which one is real? New Year's celebration maybe without a Christmas tree. Each of us independently determines. But after acquiring the treasured tree, the question arises: how to place it correctly so that it pleases the eyes of family members for as long as possible and creates a unique holiday ambience.
There are simple, uncomplicated rules that you can follow to extend the life of your Christmas tree for a long time.
- You should not immediately bring the tree into the cold warm house. It is better to give it some time to acclimatize to temperature in a cool place.
- Install conifer tree It is better just before New Year's Eve, and until then, store it in a cool place. For example, on the balcony of an apartment.
- The tree should be placed as far as possible from heating appliances.
- We can distinguish two main ways to install and secure a Christmas tree: installation using a tripod; installation in a bucket of sand.
Let's take a closer look at the installation methods.
- When installing the Christmas tree on a tripod, if necessary, trim the lower branches so that the distance from the place of cutting to the nearest branches is at least 20 centimeters. If the tripod is metal, then the tree trunk must be secured in it using clamping screws, and if they are missing, using wooden wedges. If the tripod is wooden, then screws are used to strengthen the tree trunk.
- When placing a Christmas tree in a bucket of sand(without stand) it is necessary to first clear the tree trunk of branches by 25 - 30 centimeters. The end of the trunk near the cut is cleared of bark; it is advisable to update the cut itself. After installing the tree, water is poured into the sand.
The water must first be prepared: use 1 aspirin tablet and 3-4 tsp. sugar per 1 liter of water.
