DIY Wall Christmas Tree
If you already have all the decorations, but just need a tree, a DIY Wall Christmas tree could be the perfect solution. Great for people with no extra space for a tree, and ideal for homes with pets and small children as you can mount it up and out of the way!
You'll need:
- White Tinsel / Green Tinsel
- String of lights
- Decorations
- Mini command hooks
- Big bow or star for top
Start at the bottom and hang two hooks as wide as you like, placing them at approx. 15cm intervals until you have a triangle.
Starting at the top, wrap the tinsel around each hook, ensuring it is tight but not too tight that it could put a lot of pressure on the hooks. Once at to the bottom wrap the tinsel twice around the last ‘branch’ around the middle and tape it to stay put. Cut off any excess.
Next, wrap the lights in the same way. Ideally you want the plug end at the bottom. Started from the top, and follow the same process as the tinsel. When you get to the bottom, hang another hook upside down so the lights could wrap neatly around and not fall when unplugged.Place the bow or star at the top of the tree and adorn with a few simple decorations.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
