How to make a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree
It's a little hard to tell, but this branch is laying on a sidewalk. It is about 3.5 feet tall. It's a regular tree branch, not from an evergreen.
These are some Christmas tree cuts that I "picked up" at Home Depot. (they were in the garbage can?)
I trimmed up the branch, taking off several twigs to make it a little more bare.
I then used my hot glue gun to glue the evergreen pieces to the remaining twigs.
A closeup of how I glued the greenery to the twig.
I hung one ornament on one of the twigs.
I used some small boards that I have been "seasoning" in the back yard. I cut them with my miter saw to make two little "legs" so that it would sit right. I used Gorilla Glue to fasten all the boards together. I used a paddle bit (¼") to drill a hole for the branch to fit into.
So, there you have it, my version of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

I love Charlie Brown Trees. This one turned out really cute.
I made a couple also. No greenery though, just snow and white paint.

Heeeee too adorable!! I wore a big smile on my face as I scrolled through this one! I'd love one for the middle of my kitchen island! Now how to keep the greenery alive... I guess if it dropped all the needles, all the better for ol' Charlie Brown, eh?
Thanks for linking up!

I love it! This is one that you will remember always.
When we bought our first house and had our 2nd child in 1986 we could only afford one tree and I wanted one for the basement so I did something that looked a lot like yours that involved thread and branches. One I will never forget.
Thanks for sharing.
