DIY Christmas wall tree (Minimalist and free)

Most of the time I feel so overwhelmed with Christmas decor that I tend to keep it to a minimum. It also applies to plastic Christmas decor that you need to store all year round just to take it out for a month. That's why I love the concept of the DIY Christmas wall tree from branches.

It's minimalist, it's free and you don't need to worry about where to keep it. You can just throw it out and pick up more branches the following year.

Over the years I made a lot of advent calendars that were practically a Christmas wall tree.

To spice up this Christmas wall tree I made a few macrame ornaments - a snowflake, a circle, and a feather. I think macrame ornaments add a certain boho vibe.

Materials

  • Branches from the forest
  • Rope
  • Clay for stars
  • Small round ornaments (from Dollar store)
  • 2mm rope for macrame
  • Wooden rings (for macrame)

Instructions

Step 1 - take a walk in the woods

Go for a chill walk in the woods or to the park and pick up branches. I got mine in a variety of sizes and lengths.

Step 2 - tie the branches together

Arrange it in a shape of a Christmas tree and tie branches together with a rope.

For the star, I used the star from Dollar tree. And I attached the rope to the picture nail.

Step 3 - decorate the tree

I made ornaments for this tree from clay, cheap dollar tree mini balls that I spray painted gold, and fun macrame.

You can watch me make them and explain how it's done on the video here.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!

xoxo,

April

    This is also so wonderful! I'd love to make my own, maybe with some pine branches if I could find them. Beautiful!

It's definitely has been a journey. Journey of sel It's definitely has been a journey. Journey of self discovery, healing childhood trauma, learning how to let go. 

The hardest part was to live in a fantasy world. Where I felt for years that something was off but my every concern was met with me being called crazy. 

I wasn't crazy after all. And truth can set you free. 
I'm in a happy place now. 

Finally. 

I remember who I am.
