1. Cut green plastic 2. Wrap plastic around thick metal wire 3. Connect metal wire to center pole 4. Repeat 5. Add stand Do you really need a video to figure that out?
@@caspernicus5822 Definitely not the same way. The artificial tree my family puts up is completely different than shown in this video, there is no possible way this process would make the tree I have.
I've never had an artificial tree. We buy a live tree every year then after the holidays we plant it on our property. Been doing that for 13 years. All 13 of them are doing great with the biggest one over 20 ft tall now.
Wait what? A Christmas tree is still alive after being cut? If this is true then why do so many people throw them out after Christmas????? Some people have them recycled into wood. CHips etc
@@marissawilder4587 part of what I do, I do commercial lighting displays. Christmas decorations in malls and government buildings, municipal holiday displays for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Music festivals anything that isn't on stage anything big, decorative, with lights we do basically.
@Lera AnimeLover 26 were 16ft, 16 were 18ft, and 6 were 34ft the big 3 storey ones. We did the 34 footers when the mall was closed cause you need heavy equipment. Still nothing compared to the real one they set in New York.
@Lera AnimeLover You'd be surprised how efficent they are with LED lights now. You used to need a couple dedicated circuits for a 32ft tree now unless you want an over then average light density you can usually get 2 on one breaker
I just wanted to see how the pieces of plastic pine needles ares made. I was wondering if it was with a machine. That is actually super fascinating that someone created a machine to do that!
It makes me sad that some people buy them already decorated. Decorating the tree was something we always looked forward to as a kid and I still enjoy it now as an adult.
Our plastic tree had to be assembled every year, literally twig by twig. It was entirely hard plastic. One year my mother (who got stuck with assembly, decoration and dis-assembly) put ours up on Christmas Eve and took it down Christmas evening. She HATED that thing. My dad adored it.
None. Since it sets directly on the ground. Unless you put it on something where you can then put the gifts under it. But you could sure stuff a lot inside of it!
I enjoy watching this program. It’s interesting to learn how things are made. I feel like I learn so much. I wish I could work in a factory. Where Christmas Trees are made. Granted the they are artificial. But their still beautiful and it doesn’t have to take away the joy. You get from decorating them at Christmas time. It just depends on the individual. Imho knowing I live alone. It’s no fun decorating a tree by myself. Since I would be the only one to see it. Merry Christmas Everyone! 😊
👍Cool. I always did want to know how the branches and pine needle look was done. I imagine that the smaller artificial trees for people’s homes are made in much the same way with some variances and different shaped parts that people assemble themselves at home.
That’s really interesting to see how they build a artificial Christmas tree. I’ve seen workers in a hospital’s clinic building, where I live, put the artificial tree up. The tree is basically 3 stories tall. 😃
This a very interesting video, I was not aware how large trees were made. I do like are artificial trees, because of the the dry Texas weather. We keep water in the base of the tree, but with the heating of our homes, it still drys out and you have a real mess to clean up.
I can't believe they still use incandescent bulbs. Please switch to LEDs and have much longer lasting bulbs using about 1/10th the energy and far less heat and risk of fire.
A toilet brush company was the first to make artificial limbs for Christmas trees. It's pretty much the same machinery which makes those bottle scrubbers.
@@DoubleDTVx2 Cats like attacking/destroying Christmas trees. So if they put up a tree in the town square all the stray cats will try to take it down or whatever.
This is the way to go every Christmas year. It is such a waste of natural resource and energy to buy a real tree just to sit in a house for a month then to throw it away. It takes at least 10 years for a tree to grow 6 to 8 feet tall. It's also crazy how corporations are fully able to grow enough trees for millions of people to buy but not able to just let them grow to replenish the Earth's trees that have been cut down for thousands of years and to help the environment.
Nahhh, I want to see the trees everyone has, that come out of the box perfectly once, MAYBE twice, before the box disintegrates from trying to shove the tree back into it to put back into storage.
Thank goodness I found the way to hide my true feeling. We've not celebrate Christmas for 10 years because we cannot afford to. We donate our time to homeless shelter and this year we cannot because we cannot drive safe the 50 minutes due to my broken ankle
Next year I'll try to find small tree like this .. mine is so stupid .... and it's falling apart since day one. I-ve like 5 branches that fell ... I've put them just to use them.
Artificial trees in the 20th century were all little more than collections of bottle brushes in my opinion. Even today a decent artificial tree will run close to a thousand dollars but when they are taken care of they are a bargain that can last 15 or 20 years. I have a k-mart going out of business sale tree that cost a little over two hundred 7 years ago and is just now starting to lose it's luster. Already I have found that replacing it with a look-a-like is going to be difficult at any price. The tips of the needles are frayed to make a more realistic and lightly frosted appearance that is not paint that doesn't flake off every where.
It is both easier and harder than I thought it is. I will explain. I did not know about the machine involvement. But when I imagine machine involvement, I imagine little to no human involvement. Machines do a lot here, but humans are required for a lot too.
I imagine working here is what it would be like to work at Santa’s workshop. It’s always Christmas for you, you can never escape the thought. And all your work accumulates into one holiday. Then you get to work again. Though at leas you are being paid. Santa’s elves don’t have that luxury when he took the, as a child and forced them to be young forever to make his toys for the good children they chose not to be.
But what about the ones that you can put in a box and store in a closet each year? I want to know how those are made.
Lightningstone2u In China I think 🤔
They spray a lollipop with ant pheromones and it changes into a Christmas tree within a few days.. Now you know.. 😀😀😀🙌🎅🌲🎅🌲🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉⛄⛄⛄🌲🌲🎅🎅🎄🌲🌲🎄🎄🎄
1. Cut green plastic

Here you go:

those are the ones that shopping malls put up , tell us how the regular ones are made that you put up in your homes
Charles DeLiberis same way
@@caspernicus5822 Definitely not the same way. The artificial tree my family puts up is completely different than shown in this video, there is no possible way this process would make the tree I have.
@@MargoMB19 I would say it's similar - basically the way they make the branches is likely the same. They just assemble it differently...
@@MargoMB19 the branches are exactly the same and the rest is obvious. It's just a pole.
I think its another way
Was hoping to see the cheap artificial trees we use in our homes
Ghost Rider right lol
those are made in china, and the show can't really go there, so only artisan places
@@arcbrush lol
I'm in the Pacific Northwest where real trees are in such an abundance that fake costs more.
My family has used Balsam Hill trees for years now. Anyone else use them?
It's cool and all, but I expected it to be about the type of tree millions drag out of storage every year.
U and me both, wasnt expecting the trees found in malls and businesses
Made in China you mean?
lol same
Same here

WOF Chicago they don’t cut them down. They are live trees in a pot.
"How commercial Christmas trees are made" would have been a much more appropriate title
Exactly
It's still an artificial Christmas tree so the title isn't wrong
@@Monica_bondevik it was only said that it would've been "much more" appropriate, not that it was wrong. And I agree.
Decorating the tree is literally half the fun of Christmas tho!
Not when you have to install 48 of these in a mall every year

That's a thicc lookin tree
But seriously, how are the dusty Christmas trees from the depths of my dirty garage are made?
Merry Christmas everyone.....🎄🎅🎁💝
Happy Hanukkah
Wish this was about the trees people buy in stores.

Teacher: What did you learn over the winter break?
Me: I learned how artificial Christmas trees are made
Imagine how many presents we could fit under that tree.
Or inside it since it's hollow.
None. Since it sets directly on the ground. Unless you put it on something where you can then put the gifts under it. But you could sure stuff a lot inside of it!
It's Christmas time and the algorithm brought us here! 🍻 🎄
"if you want glitz, you can really go out on a limb." That pun knocked me out of the tree and I loved it.
I expected a tree you would put in your house not a tree at town square
Perfect timing for How It’s Made
You know because it’s Christmas.

i love how these shopping mall trees look nothing like a real tree. they're just triangles
how did i come across this video you may ask?
*its 1am*
that’s why.
meagan phan Same!
Same

As a 2nd gen Christmas tree farmer, I’m saddened to see this. But it’s still quite interesting! Good times
if you think about it in a very simplified way these guys decorate Christmas trees for a living

Cool, I need to fix my tree and this gives me an idea.
2:54my brain: put your hand in it
I'll appreciate these even more knowing how it's made. Good job everyone!
I bet If we look up how artificial trees in stores are made that would take us somewhere
I can't believe they still use incandescent bulbs. Please switch to LEDs and have much longer lasting bulbs using about 1/10th the energy and far less heat and risk of fire.
BY True but led light is bad for your eyes
@@robertkroberjr.157 When was anything good for the eyes to begin with?
That video was made around 10 years ago. I'm sure the new trees have LED lights.
This was filmed a long time ago, maybe shows how timeless this show is!
Lol hate led
I feel like blondie knew it was going to be camera day.
So this isn’t the kind of artificial tree anyone owns
A toilet brush company was the first to make artificial limbs for Christmas trees. It's pretty much the same machinery which makes those bottle scrubbers.
right on time👍🎅🌲
I bet the all stray cats will have a field day with that :P
...What?
@@DoubleDTVx2 Cats like attacking/destroying Christmas trees. So if they put up a tree in the town square all the stray cats will try to take it down or whatever.
89horizon OH, haha! Some may even try and live in it, as I’m sure the lights warm things up!!
watching this the day before christmas is a different experience
I've forgotten what it's like to have a video start and end without commercials 😲🥺😭

Nice it’s Christmas 2020 now and happy new year to everyone
Happy Holidays Everyone 🎄
This is neat. I have a 6.5 foot pre lighted one and love it
"...and the convenience is unreal."
Yes, it is literally unreal.
Wow so every Christmas tree is made with love!
Thought it would be the everyday people buy but pretty much shows the idea of one.
Can they remake one about the ones we put in our house (sometimes)
Brooks T. Moore, please narrate my life!
That factory is amazing, I was lucky to visit Carpenter's factory a few years back, there quality is the best, great video!!
"there" quality is great? Where? There where? _their_ quality.
How it’s made: “holiday air blown inflatables”
I find this endlessly interesting
How do they ship them?
Was expecting the cheap one you find at Big Lot.
Merry Christmas🎄
Unexpectedly interesting. Thanks for posting
So clever and so much work goes into those trees. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🎅🎅⛄⛄🎊🙌😀😀😀🎄🎄
I love all these how we make stuff episodes.
People disappointed because it’s not showing how the type of artificial trees in homes are made, it’s the same concept people 🤦🏻♀️
Love videos like this. I always like to see how things are made!
Everyone should use artificial tree for Christmas.One should not cut a living tree.If there is a tree,there is Earth.Happy Christmas,merry Christmas.
Yes, we should all use huge amounts of single use plastic made by petrochemical byproducts, not something natural, heaven forbid.
Now we need to see the smaller home ones.
Nice to know how artificial trees are made!
This tree is a bit more industrial than I had anticipated “How It’s Made” would talk about.
I just love this show.
🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
It ain't Christmas yet dumbbell
I'd like to see a tree for home use being made. Please do that.
Nahhh, I want to see the trees everyone has, that come out of the box perfectly once, MAYBE twice, before the box disintegrates from trying to shove the tree back into it to put back into storage.
Interesting now I can make my own
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Merry Xmas 2019
That is a beautiful artificial tree!!
Merry Christmas, How It's Made crew.
For these guys the holiday season is every season except the holiday season.
Thank goodness I found the way to hide my true feeling. We've not celebrate Christmas for 10 years because we cannot afford to. We donate our time to homeless shelter and this year we cannot because we cannot drive safe the 50 minutes due to my broken ankle
This industry should be promoted to save trees from cutting. I love this Christmas Tree
thats cool how they make them nice work
Man on movable platform has to have a safety line. Man on tree scaffolding just has to hold on and hope he doesn't fall.
Me at three am:I need to go to sleep
Scrolls past this video
Also me: ok you got me I've always wondered how this works
This is interesting, but I also would like to see the kind that I have in my house
That looks beautiful and no tree had to be killed to get it.
Trees aren’t green cones covered in needles.
This is built by hand at some many steps! Think of the price and time consumption.
... and I thought polyester was just for pants in the 60’s
Mooie kleurcombinatie.
If I had to take this out my garage every year I’d be making more the Christmas trees !
Is anybody else wondering what the workers do in the summer or spring.
The same thing.
Someone:hey we're do you work
The workers:a fake Christmas tree factory
Why are there multiple versions of this exact video exact script but different channels with different speakers?
Next year I'll try to find small tree like this .. mine is so stupid .... and it's falling apart since day one. I-ve like 5 branches that fell ... I've put them just to use them.

Does the needle work still apply to cheap/standard trees or is it exclusive to time square tree?
Was expecting this to be a how its actually made episode. My disappointment is immeasurable
I wonder what happens to these huge commercial tress after their one month display?
Why am I watching this at 3am?
It is both easier and harder than I thought it is. I will explain. I did not know about the machine involvement. But when I imagine machine involvement, I imagine little to no human involvement. Machines do a lot here, but humans are required for a lot too.
The puns about fir trees makes me want to see a video about how fursuits are made
So amazing. Big thumbs up for the innovater.
Have to hand it to those employees. That's a job I wouldn't want.
