Easy Dollar Tree Christmas Wooden Tree Decorations
Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my latest creation. I created these decorative Christmas trees using the wood ones from Dollar Tree.
Supplies
Two wood Christmas trees
Purchased at Dollar Tree
Decorative craft paper
Two sheets
Twine
Mod Podge
Faux craft gems and pearls
Scissors
Hot glue
One paint brush
Acrylic paint
Marker or pencil for tracing
Tracing Your Wood Tree
Start by taking your pencil or marker and tracing out your Christmas tree. Flip your paper over and set your tree over the paper and trace it out. Once you have traced out your tree, use your scissors to cut out your traced shape. Repeat these steps when working with your second tree.
Adding Your Mod Podge
Next, use your paint brush and begin to apply some onto your wood trees. I applied a layer onto my tree, and after I took my traced shape and placed it over the mod podge. Smooth out any lines as you gently press it down onto your mod podge surface. After doing so, take your mod podge and apply a layer over your decorative paper.
Adding Your Twine
You are now ready to work with your twine. Take your twine and begin to wrap it around your trees. Start by wrapping your twine around the two sections of your tree. Wrap your twine, and glue your twine down using your hot glue. Repeat these steps on your second tree.
Adding Your Faux Pearls and Gems
Once your twine is wrapped around, you can begin to add on your crafts gems and faux pearls. Take your hot glue and apply a small amount onto your twine. Carefully add on your gems and your pearls.
After applying your gems and pearls, your wood trees are complete. This was such a simple way to dress up these wooden trees. I love that I was able to add my personal touch with a simple design, and each tree was $1.25. I had all my other materials on hand. This craft is affordable and fun! You can also add some battery-operated lights to your trees. I hope you all enjoyed creating this with me. Thank you so much for stopping by. I'll see you again soon.
