This DIY project is perfect for those in apartments (or other small spaces) where bringing in a full size Christmas tree just doesn't work. I know I've lived in a few apartments in my day that I lovingly refer to as "shoeboxes", and I was always a little down at Christmas because I couldn't have a tree. This neat little project from Design*Sponge is the DIY solution to that problem!
Materials:
- 4 – 6 sheets of 1/32″ x 3″ x 36″ balsa wood (this should be available at craft, art, and hobby shops)
- pencil
- exacto/utility knife with sharp blade
- cutting mat
- hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
- 3/8″ thick dowel 20″ long
- hole punch tool (these are available at craft and art supply stores)
- hammer
- ruler
- birch log slice (or any wood circle or block that has a bit of weight and a flat surface)
- 2″ nail
- drill with 3/8″ boring bit (optional)
- tree limb templates (feel free to enlarge for a bigger tree. at 100% these templates will make a tree 11″ wide and about 20″ tall)
- template 1
- template 2
- template 3
