Everyone loves Christmas trees, however, a tree can take up a lot of space! So what if you have limited space? What if you want 10 trees just because you are so exuberant ?! =)
Here’s a collection of jaw dropping and super inspiring ideas to make your Christmas “Trees” with unexpected things from oil funnels to tomato cages, reclaimed wood to pvc pipe. They can be made in many sizes and would fit in a variety of spaces! By the end you will be so happy to know that – Yes, one can have 10 Christmas trees even in a tiny apartment!

1. & 2. Tomato Cage Christmas trees
Two entirely different trees, both made from… guess what, tomato cages! The one one the left made by 17Apart is so simple and chic, just add string lights! The one on the right made from Diy Show Off is adorned with lighted garlands, how pretty!
3. Ladder Christmas tree
Rustic and spontaneous, this charming ladder tree by the incredible Donna at Funky Junk Interiors is re-purposing at its finest!
4 & 5. Stacked PVC pipes and books
How fun would it be to decorate this PVC pipe Christmas tree! If cutting pvc pipes sounds intimidating, gather some water bottles of various sizes, or paper mailing tubes and perhaps even paint them! From Martha Stewart .
A stacked book Christmas tree that needs no storage! See how Family Sponge created this fantastic tree in almost no time.

I really really enjoyed this post! Although we already set up our eco-white Christmas tree this past weekend, I have been meaning to find ways to decorate our backyard. That ladder tree is perfect! We actually have a really old ladder that looks just like that and I have left over decorations I can use!
I also liked the book stacking tree. I could do that considering the tons of books we have! This has been a truly inspirational post. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
thank you dear cara! i have a ton of books too so you know which one i am after! =)
I love all these Christmas trees! I think the books are my favorite or the pvc pipes 🙂

Oh My Gaga- I LOVE this post!!!! Seriously! This is so clever and adds just the perfect touch to show off your personality and make it yours. What super duper cute ideas!!!!
thank you stacy! it would be so fun to put our own spin on these! xx
So many great ideas! I think I might try the old book one!
LOVE this so much! So unique! The stacked books one is amazing! Thanks for the inspiration!
What the what!? Where was this last year when I didn’t have room for a tree!? These are BRILLIANT. I love the book tree the most.
So many awesome selections! I was actually just looking this up last week as I purchased a wall hung tree (that my cat can’t reach … or so I hope). I can’t decide on a favorite but am leaning towards the twigs, pallet and PVC pipe.
so glad you are thinking like me – one tree isn’t enough! xo
Obsessed with the found branches tree!! These options are all so great, thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love these! Such unique and fun Christmas trees! Can’t wait to put ours up! <3
OMG I love these! The stacked books are so adorable.
These are so cute, I really like the books one.
I am literally dying to try the book one! How fun! Perfect for my family, as we are overloaded with books we’ve finished. 🙂
me too leah! xo
These are all absolutely adorable and so creative but I REALLY love the one made of books! So cool!
I loved all these re-imagined Christmas trees. My favorite would have to be the one from Free People. It’s so Christmas-y by bringing the woods indoors.
The book tree is my favorite! Will be doing that this year!
These are so cute (though I’m not sure I could bring myself to cut up a book–even one I didn’t like–because I am SUCH a book nerd!!)! We just moved into a house that, for the first time in our married lives, is big enough for an actual tree–but I think I might be stealing some of these for the other rooms in the house, too! 🙂
Awesome! I literally said out loud to my husband after seeing the first picture, “I like this post already!” And I do! Thanks so much!
I am a book nerd so I have to say, the book tree is my favorite!
OMG! These are perfect. I totally need to create one of these this year.
so glad you like these brenda! =)
Clever holiday decor ideas. I like the book and gift wrap tree a lot.
That PVC pipe christmas tree is gorgeous!! I am pinning it so when I have the space my husband can make me one. Love it!
great idea my friend! now my hubby just got homework too haha! =)
Wow, these are definitely different. I am drawn to the one with the books….but…..then I think of the clean up and the safety with my toddlers. Very cute though.

hands down, the book tree is my favorite. I need that many new books this year 🙂
LOVE this! The Found Branches one is stunning. I’d do it with driftwood!
What an amazing round up! I especially love the book stacked and trimmed with lights. I wonder if I have enough room on my desk? 🙂
use small books, would be so cute!! xx
Thanks for sharing this. These are all so beautiful. The second and first one are my favorites.
I’m so glad I found your blog. I followed your instructable on the dodecahedron calendars to get here, and I’ve come across so many great ideas already! My mother in law bought my son a ton of books this year so we could do a picture book advent calendar (basically just wrap all the books up, number them and put them under the tree so one can be opened each day), but we have no room at all for a tree. We do, however, have a box of damaged books that I grabbed from the library’s recycle bin (because crafty people like us might have a use for that someday, right?), we’re totally going to make our own little tree!
thank you dear lauren! i can’t wait to make the book tree as well! xo

I love this post! There are some really awesome and creative ideas here! Just in time for Christmas 😉
Loooove the book tree.
The bookworm in me has found its preferred version! With all the books lying around the house, this should be pretty easy and pleasurable to make; just need to think which books to select for the job…hummmmm… Have a lovely day Ananda!
you have to choose the most magical books my dear friend! =)
How cute are these! Absolutely love these alternatives to a traditional tree.
awesome ideas
thank you dear maria! =)
