1. Jenga block Christmas tree
This project by Single Girl's DIY involves creating a rustic Christmas tree using Tumbling Tower blocks from Dollar Tree. Here are the steps:
- Glue the blocks together to form the tree shape, creating sections of 3, 5, and 7 blocks. Let it dry for about an hour.
- Combine the sections by gluing them together using either wood glue or hot glue.
- Paint the tree with green chalk paint, and paint some blocks white.
- Attach the white blocks to the base and trunk to secure them in place.
- Optionally, add a star ornament to the top of the tree.
You'll have leftover blocks for other crafts like snowman hats or Christmas present ornaments.
2. Wood shim Christmas tree

The project offers a quick and unique addition to Christmas decor. Different variations can be made, and it's an enjoyable and affordable craft.
3. Pallet Christmas trees
This project by Abbie M offers two creative ideas for making Christmas trees using old pallets. For the first design, trace and cut a triangle shape, reinforce it with scrap wood, add a base, paint it, and then decorate it with lights, ornaments, and more.
The second option involves painting the pallet, attaching lights in a zigzag pattern, adding a trunk, and decorating it with a flower or other ornaments. These DIY pallet Christmas trees can be displayed indoors or outdoors, providing a unique and festive holiday decoration.
