These trees add some rustic charm to your Christmas decor. They are also fun to decorate with the little ones.. Or if you’re like me.. they make you feel like a kid all over again! I had so much fun making them. PLUS they are verrry cheap to make.. If you use pallet wood like I did, it’s practically free!
These trees are made entirely from pallet wood! If you have an old wood pallet laying around, deconstruct it and cut strips of wood into a desirable width for your branches.
Start by cutting a strip into a decent sized triangle. This will be your tree top.
Line up your tree top and branches along a trunk. Using wood glue and nails, attach the branches to the trunk. It should look a little something like this...
The next step is to attach your tree to a base, so that it may stand up straight!
Here is what your trees should look like assembled! Aren't they adorable?!? Now it's time for the funnn part.. Decorating!!
You can add stick on stars ...
You could add words or a quote...
You can add ornaments.. (and yes that's glitter glue!)
Or just simply paint them white..
Finally why not have some more fun with the glitter glue! I felt like I was back in primary school :)
