DIY Christmas Trees

Materials:

Plywood (thickness of your choice, I used 3/4 inch)

Dap Rapid Fuse Glue

Stain or Paint

Tools:

Table Saw

Jig Saw or Band Saw

Sand Paper

I started by finding an image of a tree I liked on Google, printed and cut that out (in two sizes) to use as a template for my trees.

I then placed these on my plywood to figure out what sizes to cut my plywood.

I took my sheet of plywood over to my table saw and made my cuts which gave me several rectagle pieces.

After I had all my pieces cut to size I traced the cut out paper tree onto a piece of plywood. From there you can cut our all your trees with your jig saw or band saw!

*Tip: After you cut once tree out of plywood, use that to trace the rest of the trees, it is much easier that the paper!

I also wanted to make some regular triangle trees. For those I marked the center of my pieces of plywood and used a straight edge to draw a line from the center to the corner. These were extremely easy to cut out.

I wanted to add some bases (trunks) to these trees to keep them from tipping over. I used my left over plywood to cut small square pieces and glued those on the bottom of each tree.

Once all the trees were assembled, I gave everything a light sand. Then you can move onto staining or painting!

There you have a great addition to your holiday decor!
