Minimal Christmas Tree DIY Tutorial

12a

Christmas trees traditionally are a holiday must have. But let’s face it; they can be an inconvenience whether real or faux. Trees take time to find and decorate and can also take up a lot of space. It’s a joyous process for many but, if you’re like me, you like to keep things simple.

Try crafting a minimal Christmas tree. They can be assembled on a wall with basic supplies and can be created in less than 10 minutes. No hassles or worries. Are you ready to make one? Let’s get started!

Step Four : Cut and make layers

Cut off excess tinsel and use it to form layers for the tree. Either tape or wrap them around the sides of the tree.

Step Five: Decorate

At this point, you can either leave the tree as is or decorate it. I tied a few baubles to the tinsel and added a ribbon puff as a tree topper.
