1. Pinecone Christmas Trees

Make sure you take a hike outside and scavenge for some pinecones at the beginning of winter so you can create a few of these adorable pine cone Christmas trees for the holidays. The tips of the pinecone’s scales are painted with green paint and sprinkled with a little bit of glitter. The whole thing is snuggly nestled into a mini flower pot and topped with a festive silver star!

2. Fingerprint Christmas Tree

If you are looking for a cheap and kid-friendly craft for Christmas, this one is absolutely perfect. All you need are some washable paints and your little one’s fingers. Have your kids dip their pointer fingers into different color paints and design a Christmas tree made out of their fingerprints. Even the red star on top is drawn using a finger. It’s a very cute art project for crafters on a budget.

3. Handprint Christmas Tree

This festive keepsake project is easy to recreate and looks beautiful hung up on the walls or fridge around Christmas time! The tree trunk is magnificently topped with green handprint boughs and brightly colored fingerprint ornaments. Handprint crafts are always a hit with the kids, and keep the memory of their age around for years to come. Grandparents would also love this as a Christmas gift.

4. Easy Christmas Tree Ornament

You can use these easy and adorable Christmas Tree Ornaments to hang on the Christmas tree, decorate gifts, or gift to friends and family. A painted popsicle stick Christmas tree frame is decorated with the sweetest button ornaments, but you could use just about any craft supplies you have on hand. We would love to see one jazzed up with some sequins or glitter!

5. Cupcake Liners Christmas Tree Ornament

So you made some delicious cupcakes but have a couple of (green) cupcake liners left? Let your kids make this Cupcake Liners Christmas Tree Craft. It’s a fun project on its own, add a string to it and you get an amazing-looking DIY Christmas tree ornament.

6. Easy Paper Christmas Tree Craft

7. Christmas Tree Pull Apart Bread

Christmas is almost here and whether or not you have already planned out your Christmas Eve menu, you are going to want to find space for this adorable Christmas tree pull-apart bread. It is an easy and quick appetizer that everyone will love and takes just minutes to make. Using Pillsbury’s pre-made pizza crust cuts out time without cutting out any flavor. Each pizza crust ball is loaded with a surprise cheesy center, ready to be dipped in warm marinara!

8. Strawberry Christmas Tree Brownie Bites

Strawberry Christmas Tree Brownie Bites combine two all-favorite desserts into one delicious morsel. These tiny Christmas trees are placed right on top of a bite-sized brownie, and then the strawberry gets beautifully decorated with some piped green icing pine needles and candy decorations. It would be really cute to make a platter of these little Christmas trees to bring to a family dinner or a holiday potluck.

9. Pasta Christmas Tree

Everybody loves a good pasta craft and this Pasta Christmas Tree project is no exception. Layers of dyed green penne pasta are attached to a paper cone frame, then sprayed with fake snow for the beautiful look of fresh-fallen snow. The whole tree gets topped with a homemade star and wrapped with ribbon for a magical effect. Don’t stop there. You could also let your imagination run wild and decorate this tree to the nines.

10. Coffee Filter Christmas Trees

Get your family and friends together for a crafting party to make these easy and festive coffee-filter Christmas trees this holiday season. Layers of white coffee filters expertly folded over a paper cone make a beautiful centerpiece for the dinner table or a smaller decoration for the coffee table. Who knew that cheap coffee filters could look so elegant?
