Christmas DIY – How to Make a Floating Christmas Tree!

Posted on December 23, 2009 by max

For those of you looking for ways to make your Christmas Tree “cooler”, you might want to try making this floating Christmas Tree.  Actually, the Christmas Tree is hanging from the top but still, this might be a great mod to make more room for your Christmas gifts at the bottom.

A few years back the puddle under the tree said it was time for a new stand.  The faithful plastic one (with a cool built-in adjustable tilt feature) had cracked.  A scramble to find a new stand a few days before Christmas proved fruitless…with the popularity of artificial trees

Well, Christmas is right around the corner and this is the “only” time I seriously let loose and enjoy a holiday. (as most holidays are useless to me, I rather work on holidays)

Posted on December 14, 2009 by max

Also you will need the

I remember how crazy my 5th grade teacher was crazy about gingerbread houses.  (And of course, I remember getting a detention for saying “shi*” when I tried to say “sheet” from the same teacher.   This was my 2nd year of learning the English language, my so-called “friends” thought it was fun to teach me swear words.  Yes, I still feel bitter about that. :p )

You can probably just hand your Christmas lights on your window using some nails or make this Window Frame Christmas Lights, which are more stable, plus it’s going to make it easier on you to set it up on your windows year after year.

I’m no Clark W. Griswold Christmas light fanatic, but I do like the look of a nicely lit window during the holiday season.  The problem is that in order to look nice you have to hang each light on a separate clip.   So here is how I made some outdoor lighting window frames that are lite, strong and easy to put up and store away.
