The live fir-tree traditionally is considered the best decoration of New Year's holidays. It is possible to install tree on the normal crosspiece or other special purchased support (in the form of tub, stub with deepening, interior cachepot, etc.). However many owners choose more economic way - fix fir-tree in normal bucket. Some tricks will help you not only to reliably record trunk, but also to keep needles of the New Year's beauty fresh and brilliant for quite long time.
It is required to you
- - steady bucket;
- - sand or loam;
- - stones;
- - plastic bottles of 1.5 l;
- - water;
- - stool;
- - cord;
- - nail;
- - board or circle from wood;
- - decor elements;
- - spray;
- - axe;
- - nutritious solution (gelatin, sugar, aspirin, urea).
Instruction
1. Choose the steady enameled bucket and prepare soil for installation of fir-tree. Usually for these purposes sand or loam is used; for the best fixing of trunk it is possible to mix small stones with the main filler. Put tree precisely on the center of capacity and densely stamp it sand. Then water soil of room temperature. You watch that bucket filler always remained damp – it will better hold fir-tree and will longer keep it fresh.
2. Stock up with in advance plastic 1.5-liter bottles of identical configuration. To fix fir-tree in bucket, fill all tanks with water and densely establish them around trunk. It is necessary to spread vessels circular ranks, constantly changing provisions of the next bottles: neck down, top. Usually this way allows to hold well in bucket fir-tree of the small or average size. However in this case the coniferous tree will quickly dry up in the heated room - it will stay only during New Year's holidays.
3. Invert big stool top legs and place bucket of the suitable size in the middle. On bottom it is possible to put piece of wooden board or circle with long nail edge top. In advance make small opening in trunk (slightly less than diameter, than fastening element). Thrust fir-tree in rod; tie trunk bechevy to legs of stool and fill bucket with water.
4. It is possible to use additional cross levels which will fasten to trunk and will hold New Year's fir-tree in bucket with water. Instead some handymen chop off the lower branches to certain length (they have to rest against vessel walls!), and so strengthen fir-tree in bucket. The trunk of high and heavy tree is recommended to be recorded in addition by means of three pieces of cord tied to wall. The leash has to resemble star from three beams.
5. You needed only to decorate the bottom of New Year tree beautifully. The bucket with sand or water cannot be covered with anything that the trunk breathed. In this case it is possible to cut and issue interesting cardboard scenery in the form of small hut or snowdrift or in advance to place capacity in original cachepot. If you do not set the task to keep tree fresh as long as possible (for example, when using bottles), then just envelop bucket white tulle and decorate it with tinsel and confetti.
