The tree has always been glowing. At first, it was just small candles in candlesticks on clothespins (which were the cause of many fires), then appeared fairy lights from multi-colored light bulbs, then the garlands began to flash according to the program and chaotically. In the 21st century, the lighting design of homemade glowing Christmas trees from the simplest materials began to be based on LEDs. Such work is also available to anyone who is able to solder two wires with his own hands.

Christmas tree options
Christmas trees can be large or small, for installation in the yard or in the room. All kinds of structures are united by one, common for all options, technological operation - the manufacture of the frame of the future tree.
The simplest option is to cross-connect two cardboard silhouettes. After assembling and gluing, this Christmas tree is decorated with the same simple toys.
You can make a cone out of cardboard or thick paper with the size and shape of the intended spruce. Further, there are also options. If the Christmas tree is planned to be small, indoor or desktop, then branches can already be glued to this cone. They are also cut out of cardboard. If the spruce is made of solid size, then the cardboard cone is used as a template for making a strong frame.
A wire spiral can be wound around the cone. If it is aluminum, then the diameter of the wire is 3-4 mm, if steel is soft, then 2-3 mm. From top to bottom, you can run several thick threads or thin wires and fasten them pointwise at the intersection with the main one. The construction will be more rigid. After that, you can tackle the branches. It is desirable to make them also from cardboard, sticks, and from anything, from which fantasy tells.
The frame can be made using other technology. Take a wire ring as the bottom base, attach wire scraps to it by wrapping 2-3 turns with one end, lift the free ends up and twist together there. Again, you get a solid cone. The DIYer can meet all sizes at will. The branches should be attached to the cone.
If the tree is installed in the yard, then the dimensions should be larger and the strength of the structure is appropriate. But it will look especially romantic in nature.

Christmas tree lighting problems
Christmas tree lighting can also be done in different ways. An elementary option is to paint a small Christmas tree or toys on a large tree with a special photoluminescent spray paint G-COLOR. This is a glowing paint. It glows in the dark and when exposed to ultraviolet rays. There are other paints with similar properties. Painted toys hanging on strings will create an atmosphere of mystery in a dark room.
The traditional solution is a string of light bulbs. There used to be many different garlands on sale with bulbs of different sizes and colors. Now a garland of light bulbs is a historical exotic. A more modern and economical solution - LED application. They also exist in different power, brightness and color. There are LEDs flashing. There are also special switches on the market that make the LEDs flash according to the program. Craftsmen create programmable controllers that make the LED string blink to the music.
Christmas tree lighting can be organized not only with the help of garlands. It is easy to solder stars, daisies, animal contours and many similar silhouettes from LEDs. You can turn them on individually from small batteries, or you can assemble a single electrical circuit and connect to the power grid.
No worse is the option in which a flashlight is hidden under the tree, the light from which is directed upward through the branches.
