DIY Balsa Wood Christmas Tree
We get a little giddy over simple, striking Christmas crafts here in the studio. And if it has a Scandinavian vibe then you just know I’m going to fall in love with it! Our balsa wood Christmas tree is such a lovely decoration to make for the Holiday season. Our PDF includes two sizes of the tree. All you need to do is print out the PDF below, cut out the templates and draw around them on think strips of balsa wood – which you can pick up at your local art and craft store. Use a sharp craft knife to cut out the pattern and include the cut line down the middle, top and bottom. Then you can get to the fun bit – painting! We used a piece of dowel, dipped in paint to make polka dots in white paint on our balsa wood. We also used a paint brush to color the tops of our trees or to paint an entire side. Once the paint is dry on your wood Christmas tree you can slot them together so that they stand up. Set them on a mantle, windowsill or sideboard and say Hello to the Holiday season in style!

Another winner, so adorable. Want to make several of these for gifts, along with nativity. Been cutting and getting things ready to put together in cycles, hopefully will be much quicker. You are all so awesome with incredibly fantastic projects. From now til I go to hospital for surgery will be super busy, staying out of trouble. Keep them coming kids. (yeah you’re all kids to me since I have kids as old as 55, almost 53 and 51, 46. Have great week all
