This year one of the team made their own wall hanging Christmas tree made with foraged wooden sticks found on the dog walks in the local woods. It’s a wonderful way to decorate for Christmas if you have a small space. Or, in our case, the perfect way to still have a Christmas tree when you have a young puppy that might chew through everything! (Read on for a glimpse of the puppy!).
Wall mounted Christmas tree using foraged wooden sticksOur wall mounted Christmas tree is essentially a wooden hanging Christmas tree. We simply cut our foraged sticks to size to create a Christmas tree shape, tied together with string, and then hang from a nail in the wall. All that’s left to do is decorate to your taste and there’s your beautiful wall Christmas tree.

How to make a hanging Christmas tree
Supplies to make a sticks Christmas treeYou will need the following supplies:
- Sticks (we foraged these from a walk in the local woods)
- String
- Saw/knife
- Scissors
- Hammer and nails
- Decorations and Lights
Cut the sticks to size1. Collect or forage around 7-10 sticks that are roughly straight in shape. This all depends on how large you want your wall hanging dry wood Christmas tree.
Arrange the sticks in a tree shape2. Cut the sticks to size, laying out on a flat surface so you can see how to gradually reduce the length to create a triangle shape resembling a Christmas tree.
Tie the sticks with string3. Tie the sticks together using lengths of string. We wrapped the string around each stick a few times before tying a knot.
Fix a nail in the wall to hang the 2D Christmas tree4. Once tied together you can measure the whole length and width of the hanging Christmas tree before marking and fixing a nail into the wall in your chosen location.
Fix the baubles with string
Decorating a wall hanging Christmas tree5. Now you can decorate the tree with your fairy lights and decorations. Some we fixed around some of the natural nooks in the wooden sticks, and others like the baubles we tied onto the tree with string.
