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 from Target for the past few years and while it was pretty, I felt really meh about it. Some years I haven’t used a tree topper at all, I just added some extra Christmas picks to the top of the tree to give it more shape.
But I knew there had to be some better ideas out there. 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.
And I found some really beautiful and creative Christmas tree stars and other toppers that have my mind spinning with ideas for my own tree!
