This mini Christmas tree craft is SO simple to make and a great Christmas wood crafts project for the kids too.

While a wooden tree isn’t exactly traditional, it’s the perfect modern little Christmas tree idea.

I’m sure many of you have already jumped on the Christmas decor train by now, especially after this crazy pom tree and this non-traditional Christmas cactus tree version.

If you haven’t, I’m wrapping up our around-the-world travel-inspired holiday series with this DIY Mini Wooden Christmas Tree idea!

Of all of the quirky ways we’ve come up with for celebrating the holidays on the go, these little guys are definitely a put-me-in-your-pocket-and-go type of decor.

Of course, a mantle will work too, whatever floats your snow globe!

Not only are they a cheap Christmas tree alternative, but you can make as many or as few as you’d like in all shapes and sizes.

Ways to Make a Wooden Christmas Tree

A lot of people have embraced the not-so-traditional holiday decor, and trees are definitely one way of mixing things up! 

We repurposed small cone shapes from the craft store to make these cute little Christmas trees, but there are several ways you can make a wooden Christmas tree, big or small. 

Here are a few materials for an alternative to making this mini tree DIY —

— Wooden pallet

— Laser-cut wooden shapes

— Stacked wood rounds

— Wooden dowel rods

Basically, the sky is the limit on what you can dream up for these!

Materials and Tools Needed to Make a DIY Wooden Christmas Tree

Since artificial Christmas trees are on the rise in popularity, this mini Christmas tree concept is a fun way to mix things up!

Plus, minimalist lovers everywhere will rejoice at how modern and easy these are to make. 

In case you’re wondering how in the world you’re supposed to celebrate with a mini Christmas tree

These wooden Christmas trees are essentially just tree-shaped wooden cones that you can paint to match your holiday decor theme.

It’s no secret that I love simple wood projects, like this DIY wood confetti gift tag flags.

You could easily use scrap wood to make a small forest of these abstract, simple Christmas trees if you wanted to!

Supplies you will need:

Wooden triangle blocks

Craft paints in the color of your choice 

Paint brushes

Liquid gold leaf

Step 1 – First, paint each block the colors of your choice for the base and let them dry to the touch.

Step 2 – Next, use a smaller brush to paint gold leaf caps at the tops of each to represent the star or snowcap, and then

Step 3 – Let them dry completely.

You can add a few small dots for an added touch, too!

I think you know me well enough by now to know that I can’t let too many things go without a little extra polka dot or gold leaf action. Sorry, not sorry.

I’m pumped to finally be heading home to Houston to actually get to put up my decor for the holidays; I feel so behind, considering everyone else is practically already decked out!

Last year I ended up with Christmas in October because I was too lazy to take the tree down for a month and just put it back up again after a photo shoot, oops.

What’s the earliest you’ve ever decorated?!
