1. Pacman Inspired Awesome Christmas Tree
Reignite your childhood memories with the sight of this beautifully constructed Pacman Christmas tree from Spain! It’s Christmas in video game style! We could possibly recreate this stunning Christmas tree idea but with a little DIY twist. You will need pyramid-shaped box painted in black. Use watercolor, paint, whatever that your budget allows. Poke holes around it to the shape of a simple landscape. Then, insert specific colored LED string lights through the holes. That’s pretty much the rough idea bout it. Rather than going on a full 4 sided scale, it might be best to create a lighter 2D version of it first. Make a one sided piece that you can put onto walls. It’s also a space-saving idea that still looks amazing. Checkout our 10 Superb Space Saving Christmas Tree Ideas for some inspiration!

2. Lobster Crab Cage Christmas Tree
Lobster cage, boxes, crates – if you can stack them up, you can make a Christmas tree out of it! This is one good example of making good use of what you have in hand especially when you’re in the lobster business. But fret not, you can do the same with cheaper and more accessible items such as wooden crates and unwanted boxes from the grocery stores. First, you need to estimate the number of boxes you will need from the base to the top. Stack them up and decorate around with basic decoration items like faux green garland.

Add more ornaments such as Christmas balls and other hanging decorative items to make it lovely.
Here’s how it looks like when it’s dark.
3. Cartoon-style Christmas Tree Stand
This Christmas tree gets an artistic twist too it and it looks gorgeous! The basic foundation for this is simple. It’s made with two pieces of large paper piece drawn and painted to look like Christmas trees. Then, they’re glued to the rod which act as the spine to it. The rod is connected to a X-base at the bottom. You can also get a round or square-shaped base if you like that style. Now, it looks plain and green. But, wait up! Add the sprinkles of joy! Wrap it with some string lights and put up some ornaments! This is how amazing it looks at night!
4. Book Page Christmas Tree
This unusual tree is made with paper! Each pieces of green and red leaflets is actually rolled up papers. There’s also a stack of iceman at the side that truly complements the overall beauty of this presentation. To make the tree, you will need a cone-shaped foam piece skewered to a rod base. Then, roll the pages so it look as such (refer below). Glue each pieces of the pages to the cone piece starting from the bottom. Remember to alternate the pages with different colors.
This idea also looks stunning on walls especially when placed on a beautiful backdrop. It’s also a great idea if you want to decorate the office walls.
5. Round-shelf Christmas Tree
This is basically a rack with lovely props of mini houses and landscapes on each floors. Creating it is probably easier if you have woodworking skills. The blueprint of this beautiful rack is pretty obvious at a glance. It might be even awesome if they put wheels on the base for easy portability or make it rotatable. That way, you can clear out the decoration when Christmas is over and put something else on display.

6. Pallet Wood Zig Zag Christmas Tree
Simple, light and stunning – this pallet wood tree looks amazingly harmonious with the white-ish furniture and wall background. It’s a great idea to use if you have scrap woods laying around in the garage. To make this, it might be best to nail rectangular boards together in a simple zig zag motion. Lay the on the ground first and place the pieces one by one. Get the overall look and feel as correctly as possible. When you’re satisfied, nail them down. Then, saw the edges off to make it look like a Christmas tree. Make sure to construct the base well. Lastly, decorate with simple string light.
7. Square Frame Christmas Tree
This looks almost like the stacked shelf tree idea but with frames instead. Each frames are not connected to the rod! They are secured with 4 pieces of wire on each side of the square. The single rod in the center is the backbone and is only connected to all the frame on its top. This creates the illusion as if the frames are floating. It’s gonna be such an amazing view in the dark. If you paint the strings black, that would help with the effects of the illusion better too! Instead of string light, you can place tea light candles onto each of the frames. Add other ornaments as well to make it prettier!
8. Santa Christmas Tree
Look at all those Santas! Decorating with plush is not so common but this one sure looks stunning! A basic white Christmas tree is needed and several Santa plushies. The snow can be made with cotton. Be sure to scatter them around because these Santas are ready for a snowball fight! I love how the ladder truly complements the design. You can use other plushies as well such as polar bears, elves, etc.
9. Snowman Tree
Watch out! This tree is in disguise! Just when you think a Christmas tree can’t wear anything other than string lights and ornament balls, this one comes right up with a snowman suit! There’s 3 simple ball ornament for the iconic snowman button. A bright red scarf to complement it’s general look. Tiny little branches as arms and the big top that touches the ceiling. This guy’s huge! And, not forgetting to mention the simple facial features of eyes, nose and mouth which can be made easily with felt.
10. Round Wooden Christmas Tree Spirals
This entire tree is made with wood! Each wooden dowels are pierced through a rod and is rotated accordingly forming the beautiful shape of a tree. You could create something similar with wooden dowels. The basic star shape is pretty simple to replicate. Power tools might be needed to drill holes through the dowels. A piece of metal or wooden rod will be needed to unite all these dowels in this creation. You might have to consider gluing them in place so they don’t get rotated off easily when you put on other decoration items.
11. The Christmas Book
This is one heck of a simple design that can be made with stacks of books. It’s wonderful that all these books here are green color. It truly adds up to the beauty of the tree design. There’s also other simple props put all around the crevices of this book tree. Simple cutouts of snowflakes, plushies and ornaments are just a few decoration items that you can consider.
12. TV Christmas Tree
Made with lots of LCD tv screen, this Christmas tree is designed to entertain your guests! It’s probably not practical to use real television screens if you are aiming for something safe for your budget. But, this does generate a new idea. Instead of using flat screen tvs, you could try with paintings instead. Artists can show off their paintings on the Christmas tree!
13. Star Wars Christmas Tree
If the Imperials celebrate Christmas, this is probably what they’ll have in their quarters. The top of the tree is decorated with helmet. A pair of boots is put at the bottom with respect to their character designs. The whole body is basically a normal Christmas tree but decorated with capes and other essentials to turn it into a resemblance of the characters.
14. Paper Cup Christmas Tree
Making your own Christmas tree doesn’t have to go beyond the budget! This cup tree design is made by sticking the paper cups together and then stacking them up to form the shape of a tree. It really looks stunning because of the reddish color of the cup. Those bought from grocery stores are usually white in color. It might be best to colorize them as how you would like it to be before mounding them up!
15. Disney-themed Christmas Tree
Here’s another good idea to decorate with plushies. The wonderful colorful balloons, giant white gloves and plethora of Disney character plushies fills up this beautiful and stunning Christmas tree. The kids will scream and shout in excitement upon the sight of it! Just be careful, those naughty ones will pull the plushies off the tree!
