10 Simple DIY Christmas Trees

I love small decorative Christmas trees. I think I was first inspired by my sister-in-law, who had a gorgeous collection of unique and creative trees.  I started to collect a few here and there, mostly on clearance.  I'll share a picture once I've got my decorations out - I'm pretty pleased with my collection.

I love the idea of making some, though.  And they are so simple to make!  Take a look at some of my favourite ideas!

These beautiful blue ones from Craft-o-Maniac



Or this great  Coffee Filter Tree from Crafts By Amanda



And these great paper circles make a beautiful tree from Just Imagine


I can't wait to try out these cardboard cut-out trees from You Are My Fave. They look so simple, and they'd look great clustered in a corner.  They're pretty kid-friendly too (nothing breakable)!

This Oragami one looks great (not so sure about the instructions - they seem to be in another language, but a neat idea!)


These simple wooden ones are from an Etsy seller - Elephant Trading Company, but you could also use the inspiration to make your own.

These ribbon and lace ones are so pretty, from The Country Chic Cottage


These beautiful Washi Tape Trees from I Heart Naptime


This beautiful button tree from A Spoonful of Sugar


 
I just love these Twine Christmas Trees from Lemon Tree Creations - again, so simple and so beautiful!

  1. Hey! Am I that "sister-in-law?!?" I do love my collection but I do not have any that I have made myself in the collection - I might try the white one on the glass candlestick holder - pretty with great height.

    1. Yes, you are! My inspiration! :) That white one is nice, and I like the candlestick holder. I'd love to share a picture of your collection on the blog, if you don't mind!
