Supplies Needed To Make Wooden Christmas Tree

• Wood slices (these are from Hobby Lobby and two trees of this size will need 3 bags) (here is a similar version on Amazon)
• Foam cones (any size)
• Hot glue and a glue gun
• Brown paint
• Paintbrush

Step 1: Paint Foam Cones

Paint the entire cone with the brown paint and set it aside to dry. This is just so any area that might show through your wood slices is not white.

Step 2: Hot Glue Wood Slices To Foam Cones

Then, start at the bottom and add your wood slices with hot glue. I had to do a double row at the bottom of each one to cover up all of the foam.

Step 3: Keep Gluing Wood Slices

Continue up the tree with single rows of wood slices hot glued into place.

Step 4: Create Wood Piece Top

Once you get to the very top row, hot glue the wood slices to each other to cover the top of the foam cone and create the cone shape out of wood pieces.

Step 5: Display Wooden Christmas Tree

Once all of your glue is cool, your wooden Christmas tree is ready for display around your home!

I love the rustic look of these trees and how great they look on my mantel.

You could create a wooden Christmas tree forest if you would like! After all, these are so easy to make that you might just want to make a bunch!

FAQs About Wooden Christmas Tree

Here are a couple of questions I often see from readers about this wooden Christmas tree. If you have a question but don’t see it down below, please leave it in the comments so I can answer it for you.

Where Did You Get Your Wooden Slices?

I got my wood slices from Hobby Lobby but you can find a similar version on Amazon.

Could I Paint Or Stain The Wood Slices?

I didn’t stain or paint the wood slices because I like the raw, natural look that the unpainted wood slices provide. However, if you wanted to stain the wood green (or another color), you could still get a great rustic look!

Can I Use A Different Kind Of Glue?

If you don’t have hot glue, you could use craft glue or super glue for your wooden Christmas tree.

You will need to adjust your crafting time and process to allow for longer drying time. I prefer using hot glue because the dry time is much faster and the hold is secure.

Could I Add A Star On Top?

Yes, you can! I like the look of the rustic trees on their own, but you can add a star on top if you like. – Imagine how cute a wooden star would be!

Add these wooden Christmas trees to your holiday craft list this season! You’ll love seeing your handcrafted trees around your home.
