How to Compactly Fold an Artificial Christmas Tree: A Clever Method

04.01.2023 08:53

An artificial spruce or pine tree is increasingly replacing a New Year tree brought straight from the forest.

Today we will not discuss the pros and cons of such a solution. Instead, we offer you an interesting option for packing a Christmas tree - compact, beautiful and reliable.

Let's make it clear right away - when you fold this New Year's beauty, you will have to sweat a little, but the result is definitely worth it.

So, stock up on a piece of plumbing pipe with a diameter of at least 50 mm and stretch film.

Take the tree apart into individual branches and thread one of them through the pipe (with the hook facing forward, it’s unlikely to work any other way).

From the back side, pull out the branch a little - 1-2 cm will be enough.

Place the resulting structure on a previously unwound piece of film and wrap it around the branch together with the pipe.

All that's left is to pull the tail in the form of that very hook, and you'll have a Christmas tree part securely packed in a kind of "cocoon" in your hands. The same actions should be repeated with other "spare parts".

As you can see, along with the numerous advantages of this method, it also has one significant drawback - it is only suitable for those structures that are disassembled into individual branches.
