Long piece of wood: for the stem/trunk

Shorter piece of wood: for the base
-
Six wooden tree pieces: in graduated sizes from largest (bottom) to smallest (top)
-
Six finished nails: one for each tree piece
-
Two larger nails: for attaching the base
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your materials
Lay out all six tree pieces in order from largest to smallest. Set aside the two larger nails for the base. Lay out all six tree pieces in order from largest to smallest. Set aside the two larger nails for the base.

Step 2: Attach the Stem to the Back of the Tree
Starting with the largest piece at the bottom, hammer one finished nail through each piece into the stem. Keep everything centered so your tree stays straight!

Step 3: Attach the Base
Place the base piece at the front (not on top) of the stem. This will be more stable! Pre-start the two larger nails through the back, then hammer them through to secure the base firmly.

Step 4: Decorate!
Your Christmas tree is finished! Decorate however you want. Paint, stickers, maybe even hang real ornaments on it.
