Instructions
1. Cuts 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. Create 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.
3. Connect layers
- 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.
4. Build Top
- Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Top Left into the top of Base 4 so that the angles align on the left side. - Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Top Right into Base 4 and the Top Left.
5. Connect Top
- Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach the Sides connected to Base 3 into the bottom of Base 1. These should be 1 1/4" away from the ends.
6. Fill 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. Stain
- Apply your favorite color of wood stain and a layer of polyurethane to your Christmas tree.
8. Hang
- Attach wall hangers to the back of the Sides in the third section. - Add brackets to the wall and then hang your tree. - Decorate with Christmas lights, ornaments or any holiday decor you’d like!
9. Enjoy!
