If you are one of the newcomers to Christmas trees who is still struggling to get motivated, know that we understand. A nice and well-decorated Christmas tree is comforting, it’s true, but… you have to transport it, decorate it, put up with its thorns that dig into your feet and then, when Christmas is over, transport everything back, put it away. .. In short, the year has already been difficult enough!
Here are 4 original Christmas tree ideas that will require very little effort for an equally pretty result! Rest assured, this is not about fir trees to go, needles to pick up, or complicated decorations. No sir, none of that. Here, we invite you to invite the holiday spirit into your living room with ease and without breaking the bank…
The illuminated wall Christmas tree
This Christmas tree will look very nice in your living room without being bulky, ideal if you are looking to save space. Also ideal if you live with one of those little killer fir trees… Cats. This one at least, you can be sure he won’t touch it!
You need :
- A box of thumbtacks
- a light garland
- colored yarn
- One meter
- a gray pencil
Achievement
Choose the wall location for your tree and draw a triangle with your gray pencil and tape measure. You can do it casually if you feel like it. Attach three thumbtacks to each end of your pretty triangle, and then erase the pencil lines. Go around using a colored thread that you will secure with a simple double knot discreetly behind one of the thumbtacks. Then drive thumbtacks around the triangle, the same distance apart. Finally, string the string lights around each thumbtack to adorn your tree. Connect and TADAAAAAAAAAA!
Wall Christmas tree with tape
Like the previous one, the duct tape fir will be very popular with gentlemen with limited space. In addition, this tree will have the advantage of disappearing as quickly as it appeared, since the adhesive tape comes off very easily without leaving a trace.
You need :
- A roll of duct tape (type duct tape )
- a gray pencil
- One meter
- a good chisel
- some christmas balls
- A bit of fixed paste or some sticky tacks or hooks
Achievement
Same principle as above, choose the location of the wall and draw the shape of your tree using your gray pencil and a tape measure. Next, cut strips of masking tape to stick over the gray pencil outlines. Of course, you can do it directly if you feel like it. Finally, decorate your tree with some Christmas balls to hold them with thumbtacks, fixed paste or adhesive hooks. FINISH!
The Christmas tree to grow on a ladder…
This is DIY Christmas tree. Well… truth be told, everyone has a ladder hidden in a closet or garage. If it is made of wood, much better… With this tree it is difficult to be more simple and original!
You need :
- A ladder (as expected!)
- Some decorations (garlands, Christmas balls, etc.)
- A fabric bow or star
Achievement
To make the Christmas tree from the ladder, it is very fast. Without a doubt, the hardest part will be getting the ladder… Once done, place it in the desired place, unfold it and cover it with your Christmas decorations to transform it into a sumptuous handyman tree. Surround the levels of your staircase with your garlands and hang the Christmas balls on the steps. And the icing on the cake, hang the fabric bow or drop the star at the top of your ladder. AND HERE YOU ARE!
The Christmas tree with branches of books.
If you are a book lover, this Christmas tree will be yours! Don’t worry right away, it won’t be about torturing your books but simply piling them up, you’ll see…
You need :

Start by defining the location of your tree of books, preferably in height if you have small annoying elements at home, always of the cat type for example… Then, select a good number of books (variable according to the size of your tree) with more or less the same thickness. Then stack them to create a Christmas tree shape. Finally, surround your beautiful book tree with your Christmas garland and place the star on top of the stack… Don’t panic, we’ll give you a little tutorial here!
