25 Fun and Unique Christmas Tree Topper Ideas

I’ve gathered 25 fun and unique DIY Christmas tree topper ideas that you can make in plenty of time for tree trimming! 

Over the years I’ve figured out all kinds of tricks for decorating a beautiful, cozy Christmas tree. But there is one thing that I am never quite satisfied with – the Christmas tree topper. I can never seem to find just the right thing!

I’ve used a light up star for the past few years and while it was pretty, I felt really meh about it. This year I actually didn’t use any topper at all, I just added some extra Christmas picks to the top of the tree to give it more shape. 

So I decided to search out the best DIY Christmas tree toppers I could find. Christmas tree toppers with a bit more personality than a simple star from Target.

There are definitely some great, unique ideas here that have got my wheels turning for my own tree!
