There's something truly special about crafting for the holidays. As you work to create these sweet and simple decorations, lean into the comforting familiarity of holiday traditions, like gathering around a beautifully adorned tree. I believe it's in these moments, filled with laughter and creativity, that we build cherished memories that last a lifetime.
These DIY Paper Honeycomb Trees are a beginner-friendly project and a wonderful way to introduce your kiddos to the joy of holiday crafting. Due to the number of shapes needed to construct each tree, we recommend using a cutting machine with our SVG file for this. However, you’re welcome to cut your pieces by hand using our PDF template.
Once all of your pieces are cut and ready to assemble, follow our step-by-step tutorial to begin putting your DIY Paper Honeycomb Trees together. Oh, and here’s a little tip: make sure to look at the PDF template for the correct placement of your glue dots before you begin shaping your honeycombs. Precise placement will make construction easier and ensure a crisp, professional finish.
Once complete, feel free to add in some festive embellishments! To give your trees that magical frosted look, simply apply a thin layer of glue along the edges, sprinkle on a little glitter and voila! A beautiful, snow-capped vision. Additionally, you can include sequins, beads, or even tiny ornaments to these little trees to make them uniquely yours.
Once everything is dry, find the perfect spot to showcase your creations. Whether placed on your mantel, dining table, or as part of a larger display, these DIY Paper Honeycomb Trees will bring a smile to everyone who sees them. But don’t forget about us! Be sure to share your winter vision in our crafters’ community or on Instagram with #MadeWithLia.

How many pieces of paper are needed for each tree?
Hi Stephanie this info has been aded to the post material! Small Tree: 3 sheets, Medium Tree: 6 sheets, Large Tree: 15 sheets
Love these they look stunning however we do not have a curling tool or cutting machine or adhesive dot roller can we use something else ! Very exited to try .
You can cut by hand, use a tool to flatten the folds, and any type of glue to attach. Have fun!
These are so pretty! I’m excited to try them. What size are the trees?
We love how these turned out, so glad you do, too! Our trees are 6″, 8″ and 11″ tall.
