How to Make Dollar Tree Table Top Christmas Trees

This craft project is perfect for anyone who loves to get crafty, and it’s the perfect centerpiece for your holiday table.

Step 1: Paint Over Trees

If you choose a light-colored napkin and your car air freshener tree is dark, apply a coat or two of white chalk paint as your first step.

Typically, I buy the Little Trees brand Black Ice car air fresheners, but my Dollar Tree only had these wild cherry fragrances. Either way, they would need to be painted for the lighter napkins.

Step 2: Decoupage Napkins Onto Trees

Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge onto the car air freshener tree.

Separate your napkin to the thinnest single layer and add it to the tree.

Gently tear away any excess. Allow to dry completely.

Step 3: Cut Trees

Using a ruler measure about 3 inches from the top of one tree and the same from the bottom of the other.

Using your scissors, cut the lines you made on each tree.

Step 4: Glue Trees

Slide the two trees together using the cuts as your guide.

Secure them with a touch of hot glue.

Step 5: Embellish Trees

To give the tree some extra pizzazz, you can add some gold to the outside edges of the trees.

Step 6: Display Trees

• Place the trees on a charger for a festive tabletop centerpiece.
• Put them in a glass crock with faux snow.
• Place them on a bookshelf.

A DIY tabletop Christmas tree is a perfect addition to your holiday decor this year. With materials from the Dollar Tree, it’s an affordable craft project that anyone can enjoy.

Let your creativity flow by using different color ribbons or ornaments to reflect your personal style.

These cute little trees are great conversation starters so, gather your supplies and start crafting your very own tabletop Christmas tree today!
