Hello friends! So excited to be visiting Jen’s blog today. Isn’t she the best? She’s so talented and super nice and even more amazing in person.
Today I’m sharing a super simple and quick Christmas craft that you can use to decorate for Christmas. It’s DIY white Christmas trees…farmhouse style!
DIY White Farmhouse Christmas Trees
I really love farmhouse style decor. It keeps to a simple color scheme–very neutral with pops of color found in nature like red, green, blue, brown, etc. Elements I used for these trees are faux fur, braided cord, chenille fabric, and button ribbon.
I found all of these at Hobby Lobby but you can also find some of them in the links below for your convenience (affiliate links) or you can find most of these things at any craft store.
Supplies:
- Faux fur ribbon
- Braided cord (white)
- Braided cord (hemp color)
- Chenille fabric
- Button ribbon
- Cardboard tree forms
- Hot glue
For the “fur” tree you start by cutting your fur ribbon at an angle and making sure that the nap of the fur is pointing down, wrap the fur around the tree form, securing in place with hot glue. Don’t burn yourself like I did! It won’t wrap all the way around and sit flat, so you will have to do it in sections. Just make sure you start all the pieces in the same place and that can be at the back. Since it’s furry and wrapped with the cord you really won’t notice it after it’s finished anyway.
After the entire form is covered in the fur and you’ve trimmed off the bottom, wrap the white cord first, going up to the point and then back down, making a criss-cross pattern.
Repeat with the hemp color if you want. I only had enough to go around once time. I wanted to use the hemp color to tie in the button tree so they’d look like they went together. I secured the ends of the cord with more glue.
For the button tree, cut a piece of fabric in a triangular shape. Wrap the fabric around the form and trim to size. I opted to have the soft fuzzy part on the inside so I could see the lines.
Glue in place and trim.
Wrap the tree with the button ribbon and secure with more hot glue. And you’re done!
DIY White Farmhouse Christmas Trees
You can do so many things with these trees, just pick any combination of ribbons you like. It would be really pretty with a red satin ribbon!

Those trees are amazing Heidi! I love how neutral they are and how much texture! They would be wonderful in any style of home. I can’t wait to make some!
Heidi is seriously so amazing. Here are a few of my favorite projects from Honeybear Lane:

Pretty! You can also twist cardstock or other thin cardboard to create the same tree shape as your base instead of buying a tree form. I did that last year and then wrapped my trees with jute and thin strands of pearl beads and lace for a rustic look. Seeing your pretty trees makes me want to create some more for this year! 🙂
These little Christmas trees are both very pretty! I love the farmhouse style decor as well. I like how you did the fur tree by crossing the cord. I will have to try these sometime, they look pretty simple to make. Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry about sending the two comments. I thought that the first didn’t go through.
