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 (1/4″) to drill a hole for the branch to fit into.
So, there you have it, my version of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

This is so cute!! Thanks for the great ideas 🙂
I love Charlie Brown Trees. This one turned out really cute.
I made a couple also. No greenery though, just snow and white paint.
I love it. How cute. I take a branch like that for halloween and hang tiny halloween ornaments..but it would be cute with just snowflakes on it too…hmmmm

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!

This is so cute I realy like it. You may have inspired me to make one myself this weekend, for outside on the side porch.
Thank you for sharing and have a GRAND weekend.
Such a humble little tree…thanks for sharing.
Aw Gail, I started humming ‘Christmas time is here’ as soon as I saw your post. So adorable!
Very Cute, but you need Linus’s Blue Blanket
Too cute!
Love, love, love it.
Charlie Brown… you’re the browniest!
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.
Love it – this would look great in a little kids room! Maybe I’ll have to try it next year…
So sweet. It’s perfect! Thanks for sharing…I can just hear the Charlie Brown music now.
You really replicated the Charlie Brown tree, alright!

Christmas isn’t Christmas unless I watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas”! Your so clever, love the tree.
That’s really funny. One of my sons would really enjoy that…he LOVES Snoopy!
Hahaha!! I am such a fan of A Charlie Brown Christmas, I can just about recite it by heart. I LOVE that tree, it looks exactly like it.
“It’s not such a bad tree Charlie Brown, it just needs a little love”
Thanks for the chuckle this morning. That is so cute.
