Easy Tin Ceiling Distressed Christmas Trees

In case you haven't already noticed, Christmas projects are my absolute favorite thing to make. 

My house is full! I don't sell what I make so everything you see on Homeroad is either for my house or is in storage. I've gotta get back to doing the craft fairs! 

Needless to say, my house is very full in every way at Christmas time! 

Today, I'm recreating a project that is all over Pinterest with my own spin. 

Take a look...

These ceiling tile trees are so fun! I began with a piece of 8" trim molding that I had in my workshop and a stick-on tin ceiling tile from the Dollar tree.

I used a circular saw to cut 2 triangles from the board and then sanded the edges. 

Next, I pulled the sticky backing layer off the back of the stick-on tile and tossed it. I used hot glue to attach the embossed side to the triangles. 

I used Fusion Mineral Paint in my favorite color, Raw silk to paint the triangles, it needed 2 coats. Raw Silk is a warm white color with a hint of greyish brown.

While the paint was drying I took a few more pieces of scrap wood which were already stained and painted from another project, and created the base and trunks of the trees. 

I attached the trunk to the base with a nail, wood glue and hot glue then attached Spanish moss around the messy glue. 😂 I attached the bases to the trees with hot glue. 

Also, I made some similar plywood trees that were just as easy to make and very popular! 

I wanted to distress the textured surface of the plastic ceiling tile but when I did it turned white, the plastic showed through. I repainted the top again and let it dry.  

 

This time I used my dark wax, put a little on my finger and rubbed it over the bumps. I used it like you would Rub and Buff. That would be a good idea too! ... ooh maybe gold! 

Lastly, I attached a bell at the top of the trees using hot glue because I love bells and it also looks great! 😊

These trees are so cute! I am definitely adding them to my Christmas decorations!!!
