#Cardboard Tree

Instead of throwing out all those unused cardboard boxes, you can put them to good use. During the holiday season, we usually get covered in leftover cardboard boxes from all the packaging of online Christmas shopping. However, instead of throwing them out, you can make some adorable Christmas trees out of them. Add some fairy lights, and you’ve got yourself a beautiful, festive forest.

#Ribbon Tree

Once you are all done packing your presents, you are probably left with a ton of leftover ribbons, which means you are already halfway to having all the things you need for this craft. You can make a bright, colorful, and full tree with just some ribbons, a cone, and a hot glue gun. You can then display this little tree pretty much anywhere. Of course, you can make it any size, it depends on how much ribbon you have.

#Book Tree

One of our favorite alternative Christmas trees. If you love reading and have a ton of books at home, then why not use them and create a real bookish tree? It’s every bibliophile’s dream. You can make a monochrome tree if you have enough covers of the same color, or you can make a colorful one. Wrap some lights around it and add a star, and you’ve got yourself a beautiful book tree.

#Wall Tree

If you’ve got pets that like to terrorize your trees, then this is a great alternative. All you need to do is glue some greenery or some garlands to wooden dowels. Then just stack the dowels into the shape of a tree on your wall. A minimalistic, yet effective tree for the holiday season.
