I kept my Christmas tree pretty simple this year because in the old farmhouse days things were simple. That has been my goal the last several years is to simplify. I still have a long way to go, but it’s happening and it’s such a relief.
In keeping with the farmhouse theme I wanted a wood tree skirt and since I’m not going to pay an arm and a leg for one I decided to build it. I’m not a expert at all so kept it pretty simple and I like how it turned out. (There’s that “simple” word again.)
Here’s how I made my DIY Wooden Christmas Tree Skirt:
Wooden Tree Skirt Supplies
- Four 2×2’s cut in 12 inch pieces
- Eight 1×6’s cut in 24 inch pieces (I used pine picket which is less expensive and I like the rough look. You could also use cedar pickets which are lighter. Because these are fence pickets I didn’t use the rounded tops.)
- 1 1/4″ nails (I used a nail gun, but you could just hammer the nails in, too.)
- Wood Glue
Wooden Tree Skirt Directions
- Lay two 2×2’s on the ground 24″ apart. Lay two pieces of picket on top making sure every edge is even. My 2×2’s were a little long because the pickets weren’t quite 6″ wide, so I made the extra 1/2″ legs.
- Glue and nail the pickets to the 2×2’s.
- Repeat with another set.
- Turn the finished sections on their sides and glue and nail two pickets on the top. You may need extra hands for this.
- Repeat on the other side.
- Let dry.
That’s all there is to it. You could also have a home improvement store cut the wood for you which makes it more simple. The tree skirt could be stained or painted. There’s so many options.
I’m pretty happy with how the whole tree looks.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Your wooden tree skirt is such a good idea. Your tree is beautiful.
I love the vintage finish to your tree with the wooden “skirt”. Thanks for sharing!
Your Christmas tree enclosure is perfect. I saw some similar for $100 not in my budget thank you. this is a great alternative I love it. You also have a gorgeous fresh cut Christmas tree sign that is swoon-worthy. Your home looks so cozy and ready for guests
Your DIY wooden tree skirt is charmingly rustic and fits perfectly with the farmhouse theme. It is inspiring to see how creativity can elevate simplicity into something beautiful.
