Description
Wooden Christmas tree template: printable patterns for a tabletop tree
These are the printable templates for the small tabletop wooden Christmas tree I made for our holiday decor. Two tree halves slide together with a half lap, and a star sits on top on a 1/4″ dowel. All it takes is a 3′ piece of 1×6, a dowel pin and a saw that can follow a line. Print the templates, stick them to the board, cut along the lines and you’re done in a day. It’s a beginner project that comes in around $10.

Common questions
How do I print the templates? Print them at 100% scale. You may need to uncheck “scale to fit” or a similar option in your print settings. Cut the star off the one template, fit it between the two tree parts on your board, and stick everything down with spray adhesive.
How do the two halves fit together? Drill out the crosshair marks with a 3/4″ Forstner bit for a clean hole, then finish the half lap slots with a jigsaw. The two parts slide together snug.
Do I need glue? No. Everything fits together pretty snug, so glue is optional. Use it if you want a permanent assembly. The star goes on with a 1/4″ dowel in holes drilled in the bottom of the star and the top of the tree.
