A simple non-shedding alternative for the holidays, our DIY Pom Pom Christmas Tree!

With Christmas, traveling, and family road trips just around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to have a few fun alternatives to the traditional family Christmas tree for the… not so-traditional Christmas.

On all of our travels recently, especially our recent cruise with Princess Cruises, it got us thinking about how not everyone plans to stay bundled up with chestnuts, a fire, and snowballs just outside their door for the holidays.

So obviously, various ways to celebrate for every climate and region are in order!

This isn’t to say there’s a specific part of the world that only uses paper pom poms for celebrating (if there was, I’d definitely be there)!

And you guys know we are obsessed with pom poms and have incorporated them in lots of our other DIYs like our Pom Pom Wall Hang, Pom Pom Basket, and Pom Pom Scarf.

But this DIY Pom Pom Christmas Tree is a fun alternative to the traditional decor because the Caribbean doesn’t exactly call for a snowcapped Douglas fir tree.

Obviously, it needs something far more colorful!

Paper pom poms, balloons, tissue paper fringe, and anything else you can think of — All of mine are from Poppies for Grace.

How to Make a DIY Pom Pom Christmas Tree 

The tomato cage will be the base of the tree so rest the largest circle on a flat surface as the bottom.

Step 1 – Start gluing tissue paper pom poms around the main metal circles.

Step 2 – Then, use balloons to fill the inner parts of the tree.

If you want the tree to last forever or for quite a long time, you can replace the balloons with tissue paper poms, too.

Step 3 – Continue gluing and filling up the empty spaces with poms, fringe, and balloons. Make sure the top staggers to a point, just like a traditional tree.

Step 4 – Once it’s full, add a spritz of yellow fringe at the top for the star, and you’ve got yourself a tree that can definitely withstand travel and appearances no matter what the weather may be!

  15. First of all I would like to say fantastic blog!
    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts
    prior to writing. I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how
    to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Appreciate it!

  19. I’m not a big fan of real christmas tree, so this is so perfect! My non traditional christmas tradition is…. I prefer to have everything made of paper – from the tree, decorations to wreaths.
