DIY Wooden Christmas Trees

in DIY & Home Decor on 11/12/19

I have been itching to do a DIY project and with Christmas around the corner, my mind is consumed with the holidays! So I used some scrap wood pieces from my DIY Barn Door and created a fun and easy DIY tutorial for you to try!

Supplies
  • Wood Pieces for Tree: 1 1/2″ W X 1/2″ thick (lengths vary)
  • Wood Piece for base
  • Miter Saw
  • Wood Glue
  • Paint or stain (optional)
1- Cut Wood pieces

I recommend cutting each piece to be 2 inches difference in length. For example, below I cut my pieces into 6 in, 4 in, 2 in, and the final peek of the tree. Make sure your miter saw is set at a 45 degree angle.

2- Glue tree pieces together

Next, take your Elmers wood glue and glue each piece together. Make sure to have a wet paper towel close by to clean up any leakage from the glue. Let dry for about 1 hour

3- Cut your truck and stand

I used a 2 inch trunk for my taller tree and a 1 1/2 inch trunk for my shorter tree. I then cut about a 4″ x 4″ stand for my taller tree and a 3″ x 3″ stand for my shorter tree.

The stands can be really any size you like. They just have to be large enough to hold the tree up.

4- Glue Trunk and stand together

Use your wood glue to secure the truck and stand together. Let dry for about 1 hour.

Use your wood glue again to glue the tree and base together. Let dry overnight and tah dah!! Paint them, leave them raw, get creative!

Bedrooms are probably my favorite spaces to decorate because I love giving my clients a room where they can relax and feel at peace 🙏  If you think about it, you go to bed and wake up in your bedroom EVERY SINGLE DAY.  If the space doesn't make you happy that means you are starting and ending your days in a negative state of mind... Who needs that? No one 😉

Home Decor PSA #4 (Yesterday was #3 I messed that Home Decor PSA #4

(Yesterday was #3 I messed that up🤦🏻‍♀️)

It's ok to choose function over beauty sometimes! Actually, most of the time😜 Your home isn't just for pictures on Instagram, it's where you live so sometimes choosing a specific layout, a more durable paint color, or a certain fabric for your sofa is just what you have to do!

For example:
1. You may choose carpet in your living room  because your kids love rolling around and wrestling.
2. You choose a darker paint color because having light colored walls stresses you out with three kids🤪
3. The most comfortable sofa may not always be the perfect looking sofa 😊

If you use some creativity the functional option might also be the most beautiful 😊

In this photo, swivel, comfortable counter stools were a must for my client! Comfortable✔️ Swivel✔️ Still looks beautiful ✔️
