DIY Christmas Yarn Tree

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Your main Christmas tree doesn’t have to be the only tree in your Christmas decor! It can be fun to include trees of other shapes and sizes elsewhere in your house. Even if you don’t have space for another full 3D Christmas tree, you can still make a tree that fits. This DIY Christmas Yarn Tree would fit easily on any blank wall you have available, or even on an interior door!

I chose to use green, white, and red as the colors for my tree. But if you want, you don’t have to stick with traditional Christmas tree colors. You can choose whatever colors that fit in with your Christmas decor!

9. Begin gluing the green balls onto the cardboard, staring at the bottom.
10. Once all your green balls are glued on, start gluing on your yarn ball ornaments.
12. Once all your ornaments are on your tree, turn your tree over and glue your yarn on to hang the tree, then glue felt over the yarn to endure a hold.
13. Your tree is ready for you to hang and welcome in the Christmas season!

    I love this idea! What a great way to use up some leftover yarn. Of course I will have to go buy the green yarn since I never crochet or knit anything with green! Thanks for sharing this project – pinned.
