The Christmas tree is a kind of sculpture, and the shape of fir trees makes it naturally pyramidal, tapering towards the top. This happens to be a favourite form of baroque public art.
Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes.
Tradition states that from that moment, fir trees were brought into Christian homes, decorated in the name of Jesus. Hanging religious ornaments on a tree was a way to honor the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus Christ's birth.
Christmas ornaments, baubles, globes, "Christmas bulbs" or "Christmas bubbles" are decoration items, usually to decorate Christmas trees. These decorations may be woven, blown (glass or plastic), molded (ceramic or metal), carved from wood or expanded polystyrene, or made by other techniques.
The paper Christmas trees are fun and easy to make for kids and adults of all ages. All you need is construction paper and glue. Make paper Christmas trees following simple directions as stated in many DIY Christmas tree craft.
Use green construction paper for a traditional look, or use a patterned craft paper or gift wrap to create beautiful, modern trees. Avoid using very lightweight paper.
