There is always space for a Christmas tree.
We don’t have much floor space in our tiny house, but we have wall space!
It puts a unique twist on the classic christmas tree, and I really like it. Now I want to make one as tall as the wall. Continue reading for our 3.5-4 foot Wooden Christmas Tree Tutorial.
Supplies
Wooden Dowels (found ours at Hobby Lobby, about 1/4 inch in width)
Twine
Hot glue gun
Christmas lights (I used one 100 count pack)
Cut your dowels according to the correct sizes. The text on the left side of the tree indicates how far apart each dowel is spaced.
Find the center of each dowel and place a pencil mark there. This will help you center all of the dowels, making the christmas tree shape.
Find a way to keep all of the dowels centered and spaced apart their appropriate distances, while securing the twine with hot glue. I decided to cut out cardboard “spacers” and tape them to the floor, so if my dowels moved, I could easily line them up with my spacers without having to readjust each dowel.
You will want to put something down on your carpet or table so you aren’t getting hot glue all over that while securing the twine.
I wrapped the twine around each end of the dowel to ensure that the twine would stay on.
Let the wooden tree dry, and once it’s ready, hang it on the wall with 2 nails.
Add the lights and whatever else you would like. I did use clear tape to secure the lights to the dowels.
May your holiday season be merry and bright!

Thank you Ginger!
What a cool idea! We don’t have much space for a tree either. I end up moving furniture around every year to make room for it.
I would probably move furniture around too because it’s tough being without a real tree!
