DIY Repurposed Christmas Trees

Are you ready for a little Christmas? 


Over the years on Homeroad I've literally made hundreds of DIY Christmas decorations. 


Of all the fun projects I've made, Christmas trees are my favorites...

Making Christmas trees from found parts and repurposed pieces is one of my favorite things to do this time of year.

Don't get me wrong, the Christmas ornaments I make are also made from repurposed pieces and are so much fun to make! 


Today I'm posting some of my favorite DIY Christmas trees from Homeroad over the years. 


First up, is the scrap wood tree I made for the front porch.

It is made entirely of wood scraps found around the workshop. 


Next, is a fun magnetic tree that holds photos, it's made from a rusty hinge!

This Christmas tree, one of my first projects, was made when I cut up an old rusty galvanized planter at the end of the summer.

Here's a fun one made with plywood scraps from another project! 


Make a bunch and decorate your mantel for the season!

This DIY Christmas tree is my very favorite appetizer tray for holiday entertaining!

The next DIY Christmas tree was easy to make and was used two different ways! 


First, the tree was adorned with ornaments and lights and looks amazing at night!

A few years later this same tree became an amazing Advent Calendar tree for the grandkids!

I made several different kinds and you can see them all when you visit the following posts.
