20 Pallet Christmas Tree Ideas You Can Display Anywhere in Your Home
Deck your halls (and walls!) with repurposed wood pallets.
From stockings hung by the chimney with care, to a Christmas roast "beast" to rival anything served up in Whoville, the most wonderful time of the year is filled with special traditions enjoyed by families everywhere. But there is perhaps no symbol of the season more universally beloved than the brightly-lit and beautifully-decorated Christmas tree. And along with trees tiny and tall, artificial and real and indoor and out, there's now another type of tannenbaum on the block: the pallet Christmas tree.
Yep, Christmas trees made of pallet wood have been on trend with crafters for awhile now because they're easy and inexpensive to make, and have a countrified charm that can't be beat. There are a range of pallet Christmas tree styles, too, as you can see below. So whether you're looking to DIY your pallet tree with the help of a few power tools, or would prefer to create it with simple glue and paint, you're going to find what you need in our roundup. We also have an assortment of advent trees to help you count down to the big day, and even a couple of pre-made pallet wood trees that'll save you time and energy. Still feeling crafty?
