Recycled Christmas Tree
Fancy a Christmas tree made out of recycled materials. Yes, there is one, and it is right now, placed at a remarkable corner in my house, with all the nicely wrapped presents recieved for Christmas this year, now all unwrapped during boxing day. My wife has made it with the following ingredients: old newspapers which were collected from over a month, used wine bottles, shredded paper, used gift wrappings and so on... when she told me about her design, I could not really visualise how she could make a Christmas tree out of these materials, call myself a designer... but when I first looked at it when she brought it back from the office where she made it with the help of a few colleague, I was astonished. It was brillant! A brillant idea and an innovative way of cutting the newspaper into large circles and then folded into a cone. They were then individually stuck to a core of rolled newspaper made to the intended height of the tree, while supported by four wine bottles tied together with masking tape. Just brillant! Indeed a genuine invention! For 2005!
I shall award my wife's recycled Christmas tree, the design and invention of the year!!
