How to Make a Wooden Christmas Tree | Simplest Design Ever
I wanted to create a few pine trees before Christmas, and I thought it would be great to share the process with you. I made an effort to use minimal tools and materials so that everyone can follow along and benefit from the construction method.
I have uploaded a video of this project on YouTube. If you're interested or if anything is unclear, feel free to check out the video for more details
Supplies
Tools I Used:
- A Japanese saw
- Two plastic clamps
- A pencil and ruler
- Several pieces of pine wood
- Glue
- A 30-degree angle template
I cut my pieces to the desired size using the template and the saw. I will share the cutting sizes with you

To glue all the pieces together, I started with the two plastic clamps. I applied glue to each piece and waited for 30 minutes for the wood glue to set a bit. Please note that the type of glue I used had quick bonding properties. If your wood glue requires more time, make sure to allow for that.
I made each piece thicker at the bottom and gradually tapered it as I moved up the tree. I believe this design resembles the natural shape of a tree, but feel free to create any style that you find comfortable.
