Steps to Make a DIY Wooden Christmas Tree
Follow these simple steps and you’ll have your own wooden Christmas trees in no time!
Step One: Cut Jumbo Popsicle Sticks

Miter shears are one of my all-time favorite tools ever. They are so convenient. Check out this guide on miter shears to learn more. If you don’t have miter shears, this tool might feel like a bit of an initial investment (around $25), but I can almost guarantee you’ll find them useful for so many fun projects.
I did three trees at varying heights, so the number of pieces and sizes will be different depending on how many you make.
Step Two: Glue Sticks Together
Using hot glue, attach your tree pieces together. E6000 craft glue is a good option too!
Step Three: Stain or Paint DIY Wood Christmas Trees
