Are you ready to start planning your Christmas decorations for next month? You are definitely going to want to put these clever alternative Christmas tree ideas on the list.
They are so fun and versatile for the holidays.
1. Fairy Light Christmas Tree

I mean, who doesn’t adore fairy lights? They bring such a magical feeling to everything!
This fairy light tree is a super simple idea if you’re tight on space, and it really keeps that Christmas sparkle going all season long. What a festive way to decorate.
2. Christmas Tree Shelf

Okay, are you good with your hands, or maybe know someone who is? I just love the simple beauty of this shelf. You can decorate it with just a few of your favorite little trinkets.
This one would be a challenge for me, nevermind the kids! Maybe one to do as a family.
3. PVC Pipe Christmas Tree

How gorgeous is this PVC pipe tree? I love how the plain white pipes make all the colorful ornaments stand out so beautifully.
And since it’s all put together on plywood, taking it down and storing it after the holidays is a total breeze.
4. String Christmas Tree

This is such a great one. It just uses some tape and string with a red and white theme that feels so festive and clean.
What a brilliant idea to set it up high on the wall, completely out of the way of any curious little toddlers!
5. Branch Christmas Tree

Just grab some straight branches from the yard and pair them with some shiny metallic ornaments.
This is just perfect if you don’t have a lot of room or if you have that lovely, beachy vibe in your house. So simple and effective, perfect for young children.
6. Chalkwall Christmas Tree

If you have a chalk wall, you have to try this! This little corner is just so cozy and inviting.
I love the hand-drawn fireplace and mantle, and the chalk tree with real twinkling lights is such a sweet touch. If you don’t want a whole chalk wall, some chalk panels would work perfectly for this.
7. Sentimental Christmas Tree

Do you have a collection of special ornaments that mean the world to you? You can arrange them on the wall with clear temporary hooks to make this absolutely stunning tree shape.
I was just thinking, you could also attach them to a big piece of foam board. That way, you can just pack the whole thing away and bring it out again next year. So clever!
8. Cardboard Christmas Tree

What a fantastic idea! Don’t just recycle all those big cardboard boxes from holiday deliveries. Turn one into this super kid-friendly Christmas tree that the whole family can decorate together.
Let the little ones go wild with metallic pens, stickers, or even tape on all the Christmas cards you get in the mail. So fun and easy!
9. Star Christmas Tree

I love this one because it’s so personal. Think about what Christmas really means to your family.
You can use custom wall letters to spell out a favorite holiday quote and then use star wall decals to build the tree shape around it. It’ll make such a lovely Christmas decoration for your home.
10. Triangle Christmas Tree

Here’s a super easy one! We made this triangle Christmas tree with some simple triangle wall decals. You could make one giant tree or a few little ones around the house.
The best part about wall decals is they’re so versatile; they’ll stick to windows, mirrors, or basically any smooth surface.
