The desire to preserve nature, but at the same time not deprive themselves of the holiday, pushed people to create artificial New Year trees. However, the familiar Christmas trees made of plastic and PVC did not appear immediately - in ancient times and the Middle Ages they were made from wooden blocks and even goose feathers. How are artificial Christmas trees made and what materials were used for their production in different times, we talk further in the article.

Which ones were used in the old days?

How immutable attribute Christmas and New Year, the Christmas tree appeared in prehistoric times. Over the centuries, its significance at the holiday remained unchanged, but starting from the 18th century, the appearance of the Christmas tree began to change - artificial trees first replaced the living tree.

How were artificial Christmas trees made in the 18th century?

For this purpose, wooden blocks were used, from which craftsmen cut out cones and painted them green. And although this New Year’s attribute was still based on natural material, it could be used for several years in a row. For the first time, such cone-shaped Christmas trees of different sizes (from 10 cm to 1.5 m) appeared in the USA.

The production of artificial Christmas trees has not stopped with wooden cones. But what can artificial Christmas trees be made from if there is no plastic yet? Various materials were used for this purpose:

  • Goose feathers. To create a Christmas tree from feathers, they were connected together using threads or thin wire, and then a ribbon of feathers was wrapped around a wooden cone or frame. To make such a creation as similar as possible to a real tree, the feathers were painted green and decorated. The authors of this New Year tree are the Germans.
  • Horse hair bristles. Initially, horse mane and the bristles of other animals were used to make toilet brushes. But in 1930, brush manufacturers first came up with the idea of ​​​​creating an artificial Christmas tree from bristles. Although such a product turned out to be expensive, Americans and Europeans used it in their homes for a very long time as a full-fledged replacement for a live Christmas tree.
  • Aluminum wire. The principle of making artificial Christmas trees from brushes was used to make aluminum Christmas trees. This product turned out to be very realistic and less labor-intensive to manufacture, which is why aluminum Christmas trees began to be sold out en masse.

The technology for producing aluminum Christmas trees was used to produce Christmas trees made of plastic, which is still used today.

How and from what are they made?

In the mass production of modern artificial Christmas trees, only artificial materials are used and only occasionally metal parts are used as a frame. Everyone knows what artificial Christmas trees are made of - it’s PVC, plastic or fishing line.

PVC Christmas trees

To make such a tree, polyvinyl chloride film is used, which is held together with wire. This results in a very realistic and durable tree. The barrel can be a metal or plastic pipe. For ease of assembly and storage, such Christmas trees can be collapsible (especially if it is a 2-meter-tall tree).

However, when purchasing such a tree, it is not enough to find out what specific manufacturers make artificial Christmas trees from. It is important that the product is accompanied by a quality certificate confirming that the product is non-toxic. Useful ones are listed in the article at the link.

Molded plastic Christmas trees

Such New Year trees are considered the most durable, and therefore have a high cost. When making a cast Christmas tree, its entire frame is cast in a special mold and only the needles can be made of polypropylene, which makes them as realistic as possible.

Artificial Christmas trees made from fishing line

Using fishing line to make spruce “needles” allows you to create the fluffiest and at the same time the cheapest New Year’s trees. Even touching such a tree creates the feeling that there is a real living tree in front of us.

At the same time, lovers of variety can buy such a Christmas tree not only in the classic green color. Modern manufacturers produce white, blue, and even orange Christmas trees. So, buying christmas tree, you should focus on personal tastes and budget size, and how to care for an artificial Christmas tree.

How to make an artificial Christmas tree with your own hands?

If you want to place small trees around the house in addition to the main New Year tree, you can make them yourself. For this purpose the following are used:

  • Plain cardboard, rolled into a cone and decorated with garlands.
  • Fabric from which you can sew a similar cone and fill it with cotton wool.
  • Dry tree branches that can be glued together to form a New Year's tree.

You can create not only Christmas trees with your own hands, but also decorations for them. This is especially true for those who decided to purchase a two-meter Christmas tree for the holidays and want to save on buying toys. You can make them from ribbons, real cones, paper snowflakes and even from women's jewelry. The main thing is not to be afraid to fantasize.

If we decide to buy an artificial Christmas tree, then we shouldn’t take the first one we come across. Especially if it is sold cheaper than others. This is true: there is a high risk of bringing into your home a low-quality product, which will also be environmentally dirty, fire hazardous and short-lived. Let's try to figure out which Christmas trees made from artificial materials can be bought, and which ones are better to pass by.

Artificial Christmas trees are most often traditional green

Materials from which artificial Christmas trees are made

An examination of artificial Christmas trees confirms that a number of materials emit volatile chemicals such as phenol and formaldehyde. In residential premises, this occurs at room temperature and when artificial pine needles are heated (for example, by turning on a garland with light bulbs). A person develops a headache, mild dizziness, and a feeling of fatigue and malaise.

Please note artificial snow, which manufacturers sometimes spray beautifully onto the branches of Christmas trees. It fell off in our first season, leaving white marks on the carpet. They had to be removed with a vacuum cleaner.

Artificial snow often crumbles quickly

Expensive artificial Christmas trees are made from environmentally friendly, non-flammable synthetic material. They are sometimes called plastic, cast. They look almost like living spruce trees. Manufacturers (usually European) cast each branch in special molds.

The price is lower for spruce trees whose needles are made from a special fishing line(usually a nice green color). This Christmas tree is always fluffy, its needles do not wrinkle and look natural.

The price is even lower for those Christmas trees whose needles are ribbons made of polyvinyl chloride material (PVC). It is safe as long as you don't heat it too much. In all cases, this material must be of high quality, which must be indicated in the certificate.

The needles of this artificial Christmas tree are made of PVC

The cheapest - with “paper” cellulose needles. They can flare up not only from an accidental spark from sparklers, but also when electric garlands are heated by light bulbs.

Studying hygiene certificates

The buyer is not an expert, so he must trust any written sources. He has the right to ask the seller for all accompanying documentation. Or carefully study the text on the packaging. Perhaps this will help you figure out how well this artificial Christmas tree meets environmental standards.

Unfortunately, artificial spruce trees are not subject to mandatory certification and declaration. This is voluntary. The manufacturer may not receive a conclusion confirming the health safety of artificial spruce. Or get it to feel more confident in the market. Trade organizations often filter suppliers themselves, choosing those who have documents confirming the quality of the product. In some cases, sellers independently conduct an examination of artificial Christmas trees in order to protect themselves from possible lawsuits from buyers who may decide to contact Rospotrebnadzor offices.

Conclusion: do not hesitate to ask the seller for the documentation (certificate) he has. Be sure to study what is written on the packaging.

Choosing a quality Christmas tree

Let's try to determine for ourselves how high-quality an artificial Christmas tree we are going to purchase at an affordable price.

Needles. A good artificial Christmas tree has needles that hold tightly even when we run our hands over it. different directions. You can lightly pull the bunch of needles towards you. Their ends should not be pricked, but rather be rounded or fluffy. It is better if the artificial needles do not crush after we hold them in our fist. Slightly inclined branches spring back, trying to take their previous position. There should be no unpleasant chemical smell. Bad artificial Christmas trees drop their needles.

It's hard to believe, but this artificial Christmas tree has paper needles.

Fire resistance. An important property of a good artificial Christmas tree is fire resistance. Fire-resistant PVC products made from cellulose without impregnation with a fire retardant that prevents fire may catch fire. For such “paper” Christmas trees (made of cellulose), the cause of the fire is garlands, candles and sparklers included in the network. A stray spark can cause a fire if it lands on any low-quality tree (especially one made from cellulose). A fire-resistant Christmas tree will remain intact.

It is worth studying the certificate or the inscription on the box. If it contains the word “fire retardant”, then the artificial Christmas tree has reliable protection from fire.

Storage. A high-quality artificial Christmas tree should fold comfortably so as not to take up much space during storage. There are two types of designs according to the assembly method. This " umbrella "(the tree is assembled in ready-made tiers) and completely collapsible (the trunk is disassembled into several parts, and each branch is attached separately). The packaging of the second design will take up less space. It is imperative to check how reliable all connections are (hooks and hinges), otherwise the branches will fall out of the trunk. Artificial Christmas trees with the first mounting option (umbrella type) are more expensive than the second (with separate branches).

Stand. It is very important that the stand is strong and stable. It's better if she is metal cruciform. Plastic the stands are short-lived and unreliable. Especially with a large number of Christmas tree decorations that weigh down the tree.

The simplest and most stable metal stand

Frame There are two types of artificial Christmas trees: cast And wire with PVC film . Cast frames for artificial Christmas trees are expensive; they are most often found in products imported from Europe. These are the most durable structures, designed to last for decades. Frames made of wire and PVC film are most common. The basis is steel or aluminum wires covered with film. Such frames are less durable than cast ones, but they look beautiful. The result is fluffy trees of beautiful shape.

Sizes of artificial Christmas trees

Artificial Christmas trees can come in different heights. There are both low and very high. Designers wisely recommend not purchasing an overly spreading spruce tree for a relatively small apartment. It is better to take ones with branches more pressed to the trunk so that the space of the room is not eaten up. This approach has its drawbacks: some mystery disappears, there is no way to hide New Year's gifts under the crown, etc. Another option is a low, lush tree, which is usually placed on a table or other suitable furniture. Then the tree becomes a decoration of the room and does not bother anyone.

This artificial New Year tree with a thick but not too lush crown can be placed in any apartment

height 1.5 - 1.8 meters will fit in a small room and will look great in a spacious room.

What color of pine needles should I choose?

Greens And dark green artificial Christmas trees remain the most popular. For original gifts sometimes they choose “non-traditional” Christmas trees white, silver, red, gold, orange or another color.

White needles of an artificial Christmas tree

We had an inexpensive Chinese New Year tree that we had to throw away because... its snow-white artificial needles soon turned gray.

Christmas tree with or without lighting?

Artificial Christmas trees are produced in three versions: without lighting, with fiber optic lighting and with LED lighting. Artificial Christmas trees without backlight Usually bought by people who like to decorate the tree with toys, garlands and shiny tinsel. Illuminated options are self-sufficient and do not require additional decoration.

The manufacturer of this artificial Christmas tree clearly went overboard with pine cones and artificial snow, leaving no room for other decorations.

Modern LED backlights can provide not only monochromatic light, but also create fabulous patterns. While many of us are scared enough high price these artificial trees, especially when their height is above one meter. This tree is connected to the network via a special adapter.

Artificial tips Christmas trees with built-in fiber optic backlight begin to shimmer in all colors (there are several backlight modes) when they are connected to power. The color of the needles of such artificial Christmas trees can be very different, but most often green or white.

Manufacturers of artificial Christmas trees

European manufacturers expensive artificial Christmas trees provide their products with complete documentation. They produce high-quality and safe spruce trees that are expensive.

Domestic manufacturers, as a rule, also provide all the necessary documentation. As a rule, there are no complaints about the material. But often there are spruce trees on sale that lack elegance. Their branches are often made of metal rods with pointed ends.

Artificial pine cones on an artificial Christmas tree

Lots of goods imported from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand And China. Quality issues most often arise with Chinese artificial New Year trees. They are bought because they are usually cheaper than others. If desired, among Chinese spruce trees you can find good options with all the accompanying documentation. Unfortunately, the bulk of complaints and defects occur in products made in China.

This term defines a structure in the form of a festive tree installed on new year holidays on the street or in the house to decorate it. The Germans were the first to use it en masse in the 19th century, when the product was made from goose feathers. To make it more believable, it was covered with green paint. Over the next 100 years, such a tree became popular throughout Europe, and at the end of the 20th century it crossed the ocean and gained a foothold in the United States.

Modern artificial Christmas tree on New Year in appearance it came as close as possible to the “live” competitor. It also has a trunk that is slightly smaller than usual, as well as branches with thin needles. It can be either spruce or pine, which is also found in artificial form. The difference between them is that the first branches are thinner, look mostly upward, and the crown is thicker, although not very lush. In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, pine is most often sold.

Among the characteristics of this product the following should be highlighted:

  • Color. In most cases, you can find trees with green needles on the market, but sometimes you can buy models with a blue or white crown that imitates snow. Blue spruce trees look quite interesting, having a very realistic appearance.
  • Decor. Products with a price above average (from 1000 rubles) can often be purchased with beautiful decorative elements, which makes decorating them much easier. Manufacturers offer trees with cones, sparkles, and white coating on the ends of the needles. Regardless of this, they are always sold with a convenient stand.
  • Smell. A high-quality product never smells of anything, only in the first days after purchase it may smell slightly like plastic. The problem will soon resolve itself, but if this does not happen, it means that cheap materials were used.
  • Best before date. Officially, manufacturers declare a figure of 5-7 years, but in fact, most often it turns out that the tree can be used for 10 years or more.
  • Material. The most affordable are models made of polyvinyl chloride. Aluminum and fiber optic Christmas trees are quite rare. This is due to the fact that their production requires more serious financial investments and is a rather complicated process.
  • Weight. On average, it can range from 500 g to 20 kg; the taller and more magnificent the tree, the greater this figure will be.
  • Height. A New Year's tree can have completely different heights, the minimum usually found on sale is approximately 25 cm, and the maximum is 12 m. Small products are usually installed on a table or chair, and tall ones - directly on the floor.
Artificial Christmas trees can also be placed outdoors; for this case, models with a height of 2 m or more are suitable. They can withstand temperature changes, exposure to wind and snow. City authorities often take advantage of this property, decorating the main square of various settlements with just such a tree. Christmas trees taller than 3-5 m are often sold in disassembled form.

Advantages and disadvantages of an artificial Christmas tree


People who decide to go with this option primarily win money. It is enough to calculate how much you will have to pay for the purchase of a “live” Christmas tree for 10 years (the average service life of an artificial analogue), and compare the resulting amount with the cost of ornamental trees. The benefit will be obvious, because we are talking about more than 300% overpayment.

Here are some more compelling arguments in favor of buying an artificial product:

  1. Hypoallergenic. This will play one of the most important roles if there are small children in the house, because living pines have a pronounced smell, sometimes irritating the nasal mucosa, causing a runny nose and sore throat. This will serve as an equally significant selection criterion for pregnant women.
  2. Ease of use. You yourself can determine how long the holiday will last in your home, because an artificial Christmas tree cannot turn yellow or crumble. You don’t need to take it out to the trash, inject yourself at the same time, and then spend a lot of time cleaning up after yourself. To add to the list of advantages, you need to add a fairly simple installation, because the tree is usually sold with a cross, and decorating it is quite simple! One-piece models do not require any assembly at all - place them, decorate them and enjoy the beauty! With collapsible modifications, everything is also quite simple, you just need to fix the leg on the stand and, starting from the bottom, insert the branches into the corresponding recesses in the trunk, simultaneously fluffing them.
  3. Aesthetic appearance. Such a tree looks like it’s alive, it is forever green (if this particular color was chosen), lush and slender. There are no branches bouncing up or hanging unsightly towards the floor. All the needles on them are equally even, and the crown is neat, which allows you to evenly distribute toys, “rain” and garlands. In addition to this, the artificial Christmas tree is very stable, which eliminates the risk of it falling, damaging the decor and, as a result, deteriorating the festive mood.
  4. Caring for nature. Not everyone likes to buy a specially cut down tree on a whim, only to throw it away a week or two later. In addition, it causes significant harm to the environment.
  5. Easy to care for. It is enough to wipe the product with a damp sponge and dry it well once a year before installation. There are no strict requirements for its storage; after cleaning, you only need to tie the structure with a rope (if it is cast), wrap it in a dark film and store it in a place protected from sunlight and moisture.
  6. Availability. It will be pleasant to not have to wait for the opening of Christmas tree markets, which start working no earlier than early to mid-December. This way, you can calmly choose a new design you like or update an old one, without haste or fuss. This can be done not only in winter, but also in spring, and autumn, and even in summer.
Despite all the advantages of an artificial Christmas tree, even the most ideal model has some disadvantages. An obstacle to purchasing it may be the lack of space to store the product. This applies mainly to die-cast models that cannot be disassembled. But this problem can be completely solved by choosing a design not large sizes or with removable branches.

Another undesirable point is a possible conflict with old traditions in society, because in many families it is customary to choose a “living” New Year’s tree together. This may contribute to some discord among its members. Complementing this unpleasant picture is the risk of a spoiled mood caused by the sight of the same Christmas tree for several years.

The absence of a real forest smell, which naturally affects the festive mood, can also be somewhat upsetting. But this situation can also be corrected with the help of special aromatic sprays. Simply spray them once and this will provide a gorgeous scent for several days.

Types of artificial Christmas trees


Let us repeat that such “trees” can be either solid or collapsible. The first, as the name implies, do not require absolutely any installation; they are simply taken out and installed on the floor or table. They usually come with a 10-year warranty; They cost several times more than “live” options. Collapsible models are much more complicated, since they consist of several independent parts - a trunk and branches, the number of which can exceed 100 pieces, depending on the size of the tree. Naturally, collapsible structures are more convenient.

Based on the type of material, the following types of artificial Christmas trees are found:

  • Lesochnye. Such options were especially popular in Soviet times, as they were inexpensive and were sold wherever possible. With the collapse of the USSR, their appearance noticeably transformed; now they do not lose their volume over time, do not wrinkle or cake. The design is highly durable, but not pleasing due to the rather noticeably prickly needles and a slight unnatural shine. In terms of price, such offers fall into the budget category. In this case, the buyer receives a product that will last from 5 to 15 years. The main producing country of such structures is Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
  • Film. The material for their manufacture is polyvinyl chloride, they look more natural than models made from fishing line, are the most popular on the market and have skin-friendly needles. That is why they are classified as products in the mid-price segment. These structures are completely safe for health, do not emit toxins and are not flammable. Families with children can safely buy them; they can last 5 or 10 years.
  • Fiber optic. These are the highest quality and most beautiful designs, which, naturally, is reflected in their price, which is not particularly affordable. They can be recognized from afar by their green or snow-covered needles and luminous branches, the needles of which have an invisible LED thread built into them. Thanks to this, to decorate the Christmas tree you will need a minimum of decor, primarily different garlands. But in order for all this beauty to create a New Year's mood, it needs to be powered from the mains using an adapter. At the same time, there is no need to worry about high energy consumption and fire safety: everything is under control here. Such products are manufactured mainly in China, are premium class and last more than 10 years.
Since you want to choose a Christmas tree that will please you for 5, or better yet, 10 years, you should still take a closer look at film or fiber optic products.


The optimal height of the “tree” for the home is from 1.3 to 1.7 m; a smaller tree will look beautiful only on a chair or table. Regardless of this, it should be smooth, with a fluffy crown. You should try to bend the branches and see if they quickly return to their original position; if they do, then this is a good indicator.

It is also important that the needles are rigid, firmly attached to them and not pricked. To check this indicator, you should pull several needles, which, if done well, simply cannot fall out and injure the skin. Also remember that a normal product never smells of anything.

Before choosing an artificial Christmas tree, it is important to consider the following nuances:

  1. Make sure that the stand is stable and the tree should not fall on its side. To avoid this, push it slightly to the left, right or forward, as a result, a quality tree should remain in place. For this purpose, they try to make the crosspiece and frame from metal.
  2. It is better to avoid cheap products from China, which are mostly made from low-quality materials that emit formaldehyde and phenol when heated. These volatile substances can cause severe allergies, dizziness, and migraines.
  3. When purchasing a product, you must ask the seller to provide a sanitary and epidemiological report, fire and hygienic certificates about the safety of the product. You can check its resistance to fire by burning several needles taken from the product, which, naturally, should not catch fire.
  4. You need to purchase wood only in stores that preferably specialize in selling New Year's decorations. You should definitely ask the seller for a receipt so that if something happens you can challenge the purchase.
  5. If there is not enough space in the house, it is more profitable to buy a collapsible structure, which at the end of the holidays can be divided into branches and stored in a closet.
When choosing an artificial Christmas tree, you should not focus only on its appearance, because a beautiful and lush crown does not mean much.

When to buy and prices for artificial trees


It is unlikely that you will be able to purchase such products at the Christmas tree market; they are sold mainly in specialized online or offline stores.

For those who want to save some money, it is recommended to buy wood at least 2-3 months in advance winter holidays. At this time, various discounts are offered in stores and the choice is still quite large, but the closer to December 31, the higher the prices. Therefore, it is simply unacceptable to delay making a choice until the very end. last day in the hope of massive sales, as is often the case with a “live” Christmas tree.

On average, small PVC “trees” up to 1.5 m high cost about 1,200 rubles. For large size models the price starts from 1500 rubles. Cast and fiber optic structures cost larger sums, the approximate price range is from 4,000 to 20,000 rubles. Christmas trees taller than 5 m, made on a metal frame, will cost 50,000 rubles. and more.

In fact, the problem is not at all what kind of artificial one to buy. christmas tree, it all comes down to budget. If you have available funds, you can afford to purchase an expensive but high-quality design that will please the eye for many years.

There are prints that are appropriate anytime, anywhere. They personify classics and impeccable taste. This is exactly what the herringbone print, which has become so popular lately, or, as it is also called, “fishbone”, “corners”, “broken stripe”, belongs to.

Herringbone fabric is most often used for sewing winter and autumn clothes, business suits and club jackets. This explains the choice of a restrained color scheme: the herringbone pattern is almost always made in gray, brown, and black tones. The only exceptions are fabrics where several colors are combined, for example, this denim first invented by John Walker, and released to everyone famous brand.

Today we will talk about where herringbone fabric comes from, which designers chose it to create their collections, and also how and with what to combine clothes with this print. Let's get started!

History of the print: was a Christmas tree born in the forest?

Many people believe that herringbone is a special type of fabric; in fact, it is a pattern, so it would be more correct to say not “herringbone” fabric, but herringbone fabric. It is a pattern created by interlacing warp and weft threads of different colors, resulting in a pattern similar to herringbone needles. Thanks to different tensions and directions of the threads, you can achieve both a more and less pronounced pattern, as well as adjust its relief and even the shine of the diagonals! The Christmas tree can be either vertical or horizontal. Most often, the Christmas tree print decorates suit fabric, tweed, drape, wool.

Herringbone fabric has been around for a long time. For example, of the fabric samples found by archaeologists in the 9th-11th centuries, more than a third are fabrics with herringbone twill weave. However, in those days this fabric was considered inexpensive and was of poor quality. The same cannot be said about modern herringbone fabric. This once again confirms and explains why the popularity of plain-dyed and variegated herringbone fabrics for sewing business suits, sports and club jackets is growing. And recently, designers have been making women’s tops, bustiers, dresses and even fur coats from it.

Herringbone fabric fashion

Karl Lagerfeld included a robe made of rough wool fabric in a herringbone pattern into his fall collection in a gothic style.

A wrap dress made of thin herringbone fabric from the brand looks more feminine. Long gloves add special elegance to the look.

Designers Max and Lubov Azria played with the herringbone print in their autumn-winter collection back in 2011. On our first appearance we see a classic, formal coat in men's style, length just below mid-thigh, tied at the waist with a black leather belt.

The VIVA VOX brand also did not deny itself the pleasure of presenting the herringbone print to the public in an interesting and unusual way. He did this using long-haired fur, applying a corresponding design to it. The fur coat was complemented by an asymmetrical hem.


This popular print looks unusual in the brand's collection. Instead of the usual materials, he depicted it using leather and gold metallic strips sewn onto it, thus imitating a herringbone pattern.

In collections from Ralf Lauren, the herringbone print can be found quite often; for example, in the fall of 2010, this pattern decorated cropped straight trousers and coats. Despite the fact that there are already several collections, it does not lose its relevance.






How to wear herringbone print?

This elegant, yet simple and clear print never goes out of style. Creative Director fashion brand gave a very accurate description of people choosing herringbone fabric. Namely, that “they understand something in this life” - since they choose so exquisite pattern. If you choose a Christmas tree, then you have already appreciated its wonderful features. But let's remember and repeat how and with what to wear this fashionable print in order to look graceful and elegant even on weekdays.

The beauty is that it’s quite easy to combine herringbone fabric clothes with other prints. For example, Dolce&Gabbana perfectly combines a laconic herringbone suit with a rich scarlet snakeskin bag.

We recommend not using more than one herringbone print item in an outfit. If you choose a herringbone jacket, then complement it with plain trousers or even jeans. A handbag in the spirit of minimalism, also plain, will complement the look.

If you choose trousers with this pattern, you can complement them with a feminine blouse, perhaps with a print, for example, a floral one, as Ralf Lauren does in its collection.
Flowing light fabrics such as silk, chiffon, lace are ideally combined with herringbone fabrics.

Remember that the more textured and pronounced the herringbone, the simpler the “pair” to it should be. For example, for a skirt with a pronounced herringbone pattern, a plain blouse or top in the color of a dusty rose is suitable. While a dress with a small, unexpressed herringbone print can be complemented with bright accessories, for example, a red patent leather bag.
