All you need is a basket, a blanket, and a real/plastic mini tree in it. Attach your small Christmas tree to a stand and place it inside the basket. Decorate with a pretty white blanket and Christmas lights and don’t forget to surround it with gifts!

2. Accordion Christmas Tree

Via Ruffledblog

It’s not necessary that a Christmas tree can only be a pine tree. You can make this paper tree to decorate your dining table or a center table.

Cut the accordion paper in two halves such that they are symmetrical and together form the Christmas tree shape. Staple them together and add a small twig as its trunk and stick it in a cup filled with sand.

3. Tree In A Pitcher

Via Dreamywhites

A Christmas tree in a pitcher will be a beautiful showpiece for your living room. Decorate the small tree with bells and lights and other decor stuff but don’t overdo it. Rather keep the decoration minimal.

4. Mini Tree

All you need for this cute decor is a small pot, floral dry foam, and some pine greens. Decorate it with red berries as they go beautifully with mini decors or poinsettia bursts. Top it off by placing mini gifts around it.

5. Pinecone Tree

Via HGTV

Undoubtedly pinecones are the star of Christmas. Without them, this festival is incomplete. So why not build an entire tree with them? Take a cone-shaped floral foam and stick the pinecones to it. Attach a toothpick at the end of each pinecone to stick them into the foam.

6. Burlap Wrap

Via Shanty2Chic

Burlap is the Christmas trend nowadays. Get a small Christmas tree and decorate it with your favorite lights, pinecones, and bells. Wrap a long burlap piece around it. To get the complete rustic look, place it on an upside-down wooden box.

11. Triangle Wall Tree

As the name suggests, this Christmas tree is made of tree trunks. Go get some from the backyard, use rope or twine to shape them in form of a tree, and hang them up on a hook. Decorate using varieties of ornaments and lightings.

This idea is perfect to get a simple and rustic look, especially if you are a nature-lover.

13. Book Tree

This is a clever idea indeed! If you’re a book lover, you must have a huge stack of books kept on shelves. Take them out and build a Christmas tree with them. You just need to place them one above the other such that a triangle shape is formed.

Decorate it with lights and it’s ready!

14. Colorful Pinecones

Grab some of those toy trees, paint them with beautiful colors, and you’ll get the smallest X-mas trees in your house! Get the ones that come with stands, or you can hot glue a mini wooden stand to the end of the pinecone.

Add a small star at the top to finish the look. Stick the tree in a plastic cup filled with mud to give it a stand.

18. Coniferous Tree

Here’s another DIY for your front porch or center table. You need a coniferous shrub for this. Fix it in a stone bowl or any container of your choice and surround it with stones. Add some moss around the tree and decorate it with red berries and a beautiful star on top.

23. Lit Wall Tree

If you’ve got a good wall space then you can execute this idea. You will have to form the Christmas tree shape on the wall. Oh no, you won’t have to use paint for it. Use a long green ribbon to do the job.

28. Touch Of Lavender

Via HGTV

Get those boring, small, regular Christmas trees and spice it up a little! The most important one is the top ornament. Use a spherical lavender foam ball and insert straws in it, then fix it on top of the tree. Wrap the tree with lavender ribbon and other ornaments like bells and stars.

29. Belted Tree

Via Uskinnyboppy

This unique belted tree pretty simple to make. Insert the tree into a pot filled with mud. Then wrap burlap around the pot and hold it in place with the help of a belt. That’s it. It will look great near the stairs or on the front porch, maybe by the door as well.
