Wall-Mounted Christmas Tree Display

Step-by-step build — 9 steps. Also available as a print sheet.

  1. 1Cuts and pocket holes

    - Cut down your board into 2" wide, or cut down a strip of plywood. - Cut all the beveled angles on each piece. - Drill all your pocket holes at once. - Drill two pocket holes in each end of all the Side and Top Right pieces. - Drill two pocket holes on one end of the Top Left piece.

  2. 2Create tree layers

    - Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, connect two of the Side pieces on top of Base 1, flush against the angled edges so the angles align. - Clamp down on these boards because you're drilling at an angle and you don't want the boards to slip! - Repeat these steps for the next two layers using Base 2 and Base 3.

    - Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Sides connected to Base 1 into the bottom of Base 2. These should be 1 1/4" away from the ends. - Repeat to connect this unit into the bottom of Base 3 the same way.

  6. 6Fill Pocket Holes

    - If you’d like, use wood glue and Kreg pocket hole plugs to fill all the pocket holes and conceal them. - Once dry, use a flush cut saw to cut them flush with the sides and then sand smooth.

  7. 7Stain

    - Apply your favorite color of wood stain and a layer of polyurethane to your Christmas tree.
