Hi friends, at home everyone is in the Christmas spirit, decorating the house, my mum and I always like to use items that no longer work and that we have at home, to give them a second life, this way we are not only recycling and helping to keep the planet clean, but we are also creating new and beautiful things that will help us to make our home look more beautiful in these dates, so today I want to share with you how you can build a beautiful Christmas tree using old Cds and other recycled materials.
Hola amigos, en casa todo el mundo está contagiado del espíritu navideño, decorando la casa, a mi mamá y a mi siempre nos gusta usar artículos que ya no funcionan y que tenemos en casa, para darles una segunda vida útil, de esta manera no solo estamos reciclando y ayudando a mantener el planeta limpio, sino que además estamos creando cosas nuevas y hermosas que nos ayudarán a que nuestro hogar se vea más bonito en estas fechas, así que el día de hoy quiero compartir con ustedes la forma en que pueden construir un hermoso árbol de navidad usando viejos Cds y otros materiales reciclados.
Materials you can use
Materiales que puedes usar
Mainly you should use old CDs that no longer work, there should be fifteen in total, also green paint to paint the tree but you can use the colours of your choice, for both the tree and the base, you will need a paintbrush, silicone melting sticks (glue) and cardboard (to build the base) I used the cardboard from an old and damaged craft we had at home.
Principalmente debes usar Cds viejos que ya no funcionen, en total deben ser quince, también pintura verde para pintar el árbol pero puedes usar los colores de tu preferencia, tanto para el árbol como para la base, necesitarás un pincel, barras de silicón para fundir (pegamento) y cartón (para construir la base) yo usé el cartón de una manualidad vieja y estropeada que teníamos en casa.
First of all you have to paint each of the CDs, all fifteen of them, I chose green and I also added a touch of glitter in the same colour which I don't know if you can see in the photos, but you can even add a little white to simulate snow.
En primer lugar debes pintar cada uno de los Cds, los quince, yo elegí el color verde y encima le añadí un toque de purpurina del mismo color que no sé si se pueda ver en la fotos, pero tú puedes incluso añadirle un poco de color blanco para simular la nieve.
At first I didn't know how to make the base, but my mum, who helped me all the time, suggested I use pieces of old cardboard, so I drew two squares and made them three-dimensional by adding cardboard bars on all four sides, then lined the squares with paper and painted one of them with silver paint.
Al principio yo no sabía como hacer la base, pero mi mamá, que me ayudó todo el tiempo, me sugirió que usara pedazos de cartón viejo, de modo que dibujé dos cuadrados y los hice tridimencionales añadiéndoles barras de cartón en los cuatro lados, luego forré los cuadrados con papel y posteriormente pinté uno de ellos con pintura plateada.
Then you have to draw a star, do it in any way you like.
Luego debes dibujar una estrella, hazla de la forma que más te guste.
Then paint and cut out the star you drew, my mum and I used a gold colour because we thought it looked better that way, but you can use silver or yellow if you prefer.
Posteriormente pinta y recorta la estrella que dibujaste, mi mamá y yo usamos un color dorado porque nos pareció que se veía mejor así, pero ustedes pueden usar plateado o amarillo si así lo prefieren.
The time has come to form the tree, for this you must glue one CD on top of the other using hot silicone glue, as shown in the images below, first you must get a line of five CDs, then you must glue another line of four CDs on top, then one of three, then one of two CDs and you must finish with only one CD on top.
Llegó el momento de ir formando el árbol, para esto debes pegar un Cd sobre el otro usando pegamento de silicón caliente, tal y como se muestra en las imágenes de abajo, en primer lugar debes obtener una línea de cinco Cds, luego debes pegar arriba otra línea de cuatro Cds, encima una de tres, posteriormente una de dos Cds y debes terminar con solo un CD en la cima.
Now we have to glue the base and the star to the tree and it will look like this.
Ahora debemos unir la base y la estrella al arbol y se verá de esta manera.
Finally you just have to decorate your tree according to your preferences, my mum and I didn't buy anything at all, we just used whatever we found lying around that was part of old decorations that already looked good, pieces of ribbons, artificial Christmas flowers and so on.
Finalmente solo debes decorar tu árbol según tus preferencias, mi mamá y yo no compramos absolutamente nada, simplemente usamos todo lo que encontramos por ahí y que formaba parte de viejas decoraciones que ya veían bien, trozos de listones, flores navideñas artificiales etc.
And well friends, this was the result of our Christmas tree made with recycled material
Y bien amigos, este fue el resultado de nuestro árbol de navidad hecho con material de reciclaje.
Behind it you can glue (with hot glue) a piece of thin rope to hang it on the wall, and it will look very beautiful, just look how it beautifies our wall.
Detrás de él puedes pegarle (con pegamento caliente) un trozo de cuerda que te sirva para colgarlo a la pared, y se verá muy hermoso, solo mira como embellece nuestra pared.
That's all for today, I hope you liked it and that you are encouraged to make crafts with recycled materials, doing this not only helps us to spend quality time with our families, but also to create memories, beautify our home and take care of our planet. Thank you very much for your attention.
Esto ha sido todo por hoy, espero que les haya gustado y que se animen a hacer manualidades con materiales de reciclaje, hacer esto no solo nos ayuda a pasar tiempo de calidad con nuestras familias, sino también a crear recuerdos, embellecer nuestro hogar y a cuidar de nuestro planeta. Muchas gracias por su atención.

Well you can do many things for Creative Sunday (not just Diy).. Things like cooking, poetry and art are all allowed in Creative Sunday 🙂
Ohh it's good to know that, thanks for telling me
I have a friend who every year makes a different homemade Xmas tree, from recycled materials or materials she finds in nature (wooden sticks, pebbles or similar)
She would definitely like this tree from CDs. Unfortunately, I can't say for myself that I would have the patience and time to make it.
Well done for you and your mother for this cool tree :)
My mum and I love doing handicrafts, so whenever we have the opportunity to do so, we get to work on any project. Thank you very much for reading and commenting. 😃
