This is an instructable of several decorations to make out of generally free, readily available materials. Cardboard, EPS foam, or styrofoam, paper, glue, usual stuff. The Christmas tree actually cost less than five dollars to make, should last for a very long time, and was lots of fun to make. I use a hotwire machine a lot to cut letters, numbers and signs. Foam is easy to obtain, generally free. Many hours of work, but not much cost.

1. Cut a base of cardboard, about 22 inches in diameter.
2. Paint base a shade of green.
3. Cut many leaves from construction paper, various shades of green, various shapes. Use picture as a guide.
4. I painted the Santa on a piece of EPS foam, then trimmed with a hotwire.
5. The letters are made on a word processing program, cut out with scissors, then glued to EPS foam.
6. Cut out letters with hotwire, paint with the color of your choice, and glue to wreath.
7. Add lights of your choice. These are mini lights, 35 to a string. Drill 5/16 holes to accept lights

I would worry about the lights against the cardboard. wouldn't it be a bit of a fire hazzard?
