These twine Christmas trees are a simple way to add some Christmas decor to your home this year.

Twine Christmas Trees - So Much Better With Age

Last year I made these twine trees. They are the simplest and sweetest Christmas decoration that have a modern take on the Christmas tree but keep it vintage-y with the jute twine texture.

Layla from The Lettered Cottage made these twine Christmas trees and they were in Better Homes and Garden Christmas Ideas 2011. I couldn’t resist trying them out.

Here is a photo of the twine Christmas trees in the magazine. Adorable! I wish I had that metal urn!

Here is what you need to build your trees.

Supplies:

  • 3 different sized styrofoam tree cones (I used the following sizes and found mine at Michael’s)
  • Styrofoam tree cone 12″ x 5″
  • Styrofoam tree cone 9″ x 4″
  • Styrofoam tree cone 6 “x 3”
  • OR 3 pack of these paper tree cones
  • thick twine
  • Christmas star pick or cupcake toppers (similar to this)
  • hot glue gun and glue sticks

Directions:

1. Starting at the bottom, run a bead of hot glue along the bottom edge of the styrofoam tree cone and wrap the twine evenly around the base.

2. Wrap twine all around the cone adding a dab of hot glue here and there as you work your way up.

3. Push in a gold star pick to the top of the cone and pull out. Dab some glue on that hole then push the pick back in to secure in place. And that’s it!

For a pretty Christmas-y display, add some buffalo snow to a silver platter to display your trees on.

I love this modern take on Christmas trees and the jute ribbon make it feel natural. I love all that texture with the pretty gold stars.

Have fun building your own twine Christmas trees this season!

Make sure to pin it for later!

      Thank you! I’ve had that scale for YEARS and have had it on display before it was “cool” to display vintage items. I’m so ahead of my time, jk 😉

      Thanks for your comment Jeanine! Those stars are actually Christmas ornaments that I bought at Michael’s last year but I just cut the string off from the top and glued them in place 😉 Have a great week!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it ha Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it hard to also be a person that is organized and hates clutter! I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
