Burlap Christmas Trees
Make these DIY burlap Christmas trees with just a few supplies! You will love how these look in your farmhouse style Christmas decor! These are easy to make and adorable to place in your home.
Equipment
- glue (school glue works best)
- poster board
- stapler
- clothespins
- water
- Paintbrush
- disposable bowl
What You Will Need
- two different colors of burlap
Instructions
- Cut your poster board into patterns similar to the pics above. I used a plate to cut into circles then folded into fourths. Remove one of the fourths. You can make these in various sizes.
- Wrap your poster board into a cone to make your tree form. I used a stapler to secure the cone into place.
- Cut the darker burlap into this pattern. Wrap your cut burlap piece around your form and secure with a clothespin.
- Mix 1/2 glue and 1/2 water. You will want to mix this in a disposable bowl.
- Cut the lighter burlap into a long thin strip.
- Wrap it around your form securing on both ends with two clothespins.
- Apply more glue mixture liberally. And let dry. Yes it will take a looong time to dry. Then just remove the inner form by crushing it and pulling it out. Just look at the contrast!
- Display after everything has dried.
