How To Make Burlap Christmas Tree

I love these little burlap Christmas trees, y’all! They are easy to make, and you will love how they look in your home. If you love all things farmhouse style and burlap, this is one Christmas craft project you will want to start immediately. With just a few supplies, you will have cute Christmas trees made from burlap for your home’s decor this holiday season. You can add it to our rustic wooden Christmas tree for an entire display.

Supplies Needed To Make Burlap Christmas Tree

• two different colors of burlap
• glue (school glue works best)
• poster board
• scissors
• stapler
• clothespins
• water
• paintbrush
• disposable bowl

Step 1: Cut Poster Board & Dark Color Burlap

Cut your poster board into patterns similar to the picture below. I used a plate to cut into circles and then folded into fourths. Remove one of the fourths. You can make these in various sizes.

Use this pattern to cut out your darker color burlap.

Step 2: Create Cones

Wrap your poster board into a cone to make your tree form. I used a stapler to secure the cone into place.

Step 3: Wrap Cones In Burlap

Wrap your cut burlap piece around your form and secure it with a clothespin.

Step 4: Apply Glue To Burlap

Mix 1/2 glue and 1/2 water. You will want to mix this in a disposable bowl. Now, I used that same paintbrush the day before with some glitter paint. The glitter ended up in my glue. I actually liked it after I finished it! So, maybe add a touch of glitter to your mixture? Apply your mixture generously all over the burlap using the paintbrush.

Step 5: Cut Light Color Burlap

Cut the lighter burlap into a long, thin strip.

Step 6: Wrap Light Color Burlap Around the Cone

Wrap it around your form, securing both ends with two clothespins.

Step 7: Glue Light Color Burlap To Dark Color Burlap

Apply more glue mixture liberally. And let dry. Yes, it will take a looong time to dry.

Step 8: Remove the Cone To Create a Burlap Christmas Tree

Then, remove the inner form by crushing it and pulling it out. Just look at the contrast!

And here it is with my sewing pattern tree! It’s so cute! I want to make all the burlap Christmas trees now! Okay, I’m also ready to break out the big tree!
