DIY Felt Christmas Trees

Y’all I ran across the cutest tutorial from Katie at Little House of Four a few months ago. She had made felt Christmas trees similar to ones she had seen at Target. I loved how this DIY turned out and decided to see if I could do the same.

To add whimsical, holiday decor here is How to make these Easy Rustic DIY Felt Christmas Trees. They are so cute and fun to make.

Supplies for Felt Christmas Trees

These trees are super easy to make and would be a great project for kids as well.

First, I created a template for the trees and you can download and print here.

• Felt – approx. 1/2 yard per tree
• Gather Sticks from your yard or woods – You can use dowel rods if you prefer.
• Wooden base. Can be cut some fallen trees limbs or you can purchase bases here.
• Ryobi Cordless Drill
• Ryobi Hot Glue Gun
• Christmas Tree Template here.
• Straight Pins

Prepare your Christmas Tree Bases

To begin your project, gather your wooden sticks and cut them approx. 15 inches long.

Then drill a hole, in your wooden base the same diameter as your stick.

Check to make sure the stick fits in the base.

Cut our your Felt Trees

Begin cutting your trees from the felt by folding the template in half and pinning to a piece of folded felt.

It takes approx. 10-12 trees for each felt tree, therefore cutting two at a time is a big time saver.

With 1/2 yard of felt, you can cut 2 trees from the yardage if you place them close together as you can see below.

Cut the bottom from one tree and then place the two folded pieces of felt together so that you can cut two at the same time.

This allows you to save felt, as well as time cutting the trees.

Felt Christmas Trees attached to Stick

Now you are ready for your hot glue and I love using my Ryobi Cordless Glue Gun because I can move anywhere with it.

Begin by securing the bases together and making sure the stick fits tight in the drilled hole. If necessary, add glue to the stick to secure it.

Then fold the felt trees in half. Use straight pins to hold them in place.

Apply a bead of hot glue straight down the stick, approximately the length of the felt trees.

Then attach the tree at the crease and allow a small amount of the tree peak to be above the stick.

Make sure the tree is attached and then begin adding more trees next to the one you just secured.

Continue adding the folded felt trees until the stick is 100% covered.

Once the tree is complete, use a drop of glue to attach the tops of the trees together above the stick.

Rustic Felt Christmas Trees

In addition, I added a small felt star to the top of each tree. You can also add felt berries or ornaments to style the trees. This would be a fun way to include the smaller kids in the project.
