I know, I know, I am being one of “those” people that is posting Christmas ideas before Thanksgiving! I am right there with you on the craziness of rushing the holidays. For reference, my home is still fall-ified, I am waiting a little bit longer before I turn it into a winter wonderland. But, this blog is for me to share my home, but also share some ideas for others to decorate their home. I need to get out the ideas early enough for others to see and create. So, see…. there is a method to my madness. Today I am sharing DIY Christmas tree topiary – simple and low cost, which is perfect for the season.
We all need to watch our spending this time of year, those presents won’t buy themselves. But, having a beautifully decorated home to deck the halls is a big priority too. This project is sooo low cost and only takes about 5 minutes to create!
I created these DIY topiary and shared the tutorial over at Homedit, go on and check out the 5 minute decor idea! Below is what I started out with and the steps are so simple to follow along to create one or two of your own.
I will be pulling these beauties out again when I start decorating my home this year for Christmas! They are still in great shape. I did put a large brick in the bottom of the metal container before putting the tree frame inside, just so that the wind could not knock them over. I had no issues with it ever blowing over.

I was working a ton this past weekend on Christmas crafts, I always like to add a few to my decor each year. As I gain confidence in my decorating skills and my crafting skills my style has transitions. I am willing to try new things, which means some of the older items do not work anymore. Which means I need to make even more decor items! I love these DIY Christmas tree topiary – simple and low cost they are honestly so quick to create. Don’t even get me started on how expensive store bought topiary’s this size would be, probably close to $100 a piece! Total I spent $30! Yep, this is a much better option. I am currently making my Christmas present list out, which is wayyyyy different from when I was a kid. Back then I wrote down what I wanted. Now I make a list on what I will be getting other people. Then I have to go shop for it and spend my money on it. Very different from the childhood Christmas list. With my home decorating obsession still strong, I try to cut corners when I can on costs. Diminish the guilt of me decorating for every season. I mix store bought with DIY and end up with a winter wonderland of a home that is ready for Santa and all of the magic of the season!
Have you started shopping for Christmas yet?
What a fantastic idea! It’s so simple but so pretty and so unique!
I am so excited you posted this because I have been wanting to make little Christmas tree for part of my holiday decor! Thanks! Maria
This is such a great idea – I love how it turned out!
That is an adorable idea and seems easy to make too. I love that you could customize it to fit whatever your decor theme is.
Now that’s a DIY project even I Can do. I need to make me two of these for my door step.
Super cute idea! I love that it can be changed for different seasons/uses.
What a great project. I love that you used a few things that I have around the house like the tomato cage. I also love that it is frugal and easy. I can see making one or two of these for my home. I am thinking one of them would be good with seed ornaments for the birds.
I love this idea, and the metal buckets are just perfect with the “trees.” Pinned.
Love these! I need to make some for our front porch area.
What a great idea! These things are a fortune in the store I would have never thought to make my own.
Omg this looks simple enough!!! I love crafts that are simple to assemble yet look like they took hours of work!!!
This is so cute and you are right, SO EASY! I love that you can add whatever little decorations you’d like to it!
They look so expensive and I would never have thought them to be this easy to make! A DIY worth investing it because you can decorate ad use through out the year!
**I meant seasonally decorate and use throughout the year 🙂
Such a cute idea! I love how they turned out! I also love that you used Galvanized buckets to put them in! I am definitely going to share this with my husband! 🙂
I love the look of this homemade faux tree! Very rustic chic and perfect for our entry way.
How cute! Love how simple it is. Great idea!
I like the simplicity of this design.
It also has a great appearance.
How cute and budget friendly! We have a few store bought trees for the entry way and they were expensive! Love the simple galvanized bucket you used as well. It was a simple but nice touch.
great idea using those tomato cages!
Very cute idea, I love the metal pot you put it in too!
you could buy a star @ the dollar store and put on top plus some ornaments if you like. Great idea and job. Thanks
OMG! I never would have thought! I am totally doing this outside. Thanks for the idea.
Emily this idea is awesome – I love this tree 🙂
SOO cute!! The metal pot as the tree base is genius!
So cute! What a fun project.
I tried this from someone else’s picture. Not happy with it. I will take it apart and do yours. Thank you for sharing. Mine from 15 years ago from CVS Pharmacy bit the dust last year. I love homemade things better.
Happy Thanksgiving.
