Get creative this holiday season with these 31 unique DIY wooden Christmas trees that anyone can make using scrap wood, 2x4s, pallets and other inexpensive wood.
Over the past few years I’ve been really drawn to the awesome wooden Christmas trees I keep seeing. Wood is one of my favorite materials to work with and I’m always looking for a great project to use up some of the scrap wood that’s quickly taking over my garage!
One of the things I love about wooden Christmas trees is how many different ways there are to make them. I’ve seen super modern trees, rustic trees, farmhouse style trees. Outdoor Christmas trees and indoor trees. Tiny tabletop trees and giant life-size Christmas trees. Christmas tree shelves and Christmas tree card displays. Pretty much anything you could imagine!
Even better, most of these trees are made from super cheap or even free wood including inexpensive 2x4s, pallet wood, tree slices, old doors, and general scrap wood. And any time you can make awesome Christmas decor for next to nothing, I count that as a huge win!
