Turn This $1 Dollar Tree Bargain into Stylish Christmas Decor
Need a festive and frugal Christmas centerpiece?! 🎄
No one will be able to tell this little tabletop tree is actually from Dollar Tree after this easy DIY Christmas makeover! Use faux snow and a few holiday floral embellishments, also found at the Dollar Tree, to dress up this inexpensive $1 Christmas tree into a pretty centerpiece.
Your tree will look CHIC, not cheap!
I love that you can turn little 18 inch Dollar Tree Christmas trees (that are just a BUCK!) into designer looking decor, which definitely feels more farmhouse boutique style than a dollar store.
In fact, you could make a few of these as neighbor gifts or hostess gifts. Dollar Tree even has little battery LED lights you could add too!
Hip Tips:
- To make this tree extra full, buy an extra tree from Dollar Tree and use those branches to fill in the gaps and it’ll appear larger and more high-end looking!
- Before buying more floral embellishments, check out your own supply of holiday faux berries, Christmas ornaments, and accessories at home first.
- I found a can of white faux snow for this project, but you could even use some white paint instead.
- The burlap containers pictured are repurposed planters from another project, but my Dollar Tree has some farmhouse looking metal buckets currently that would look great too as a base!
Dollar Tree Christmas Tree Centerpiece
PrintSupplies Needed
- 18 inch tabletop Christmas tree
- White Christmas tree flocking spray
- Faux berries, small pine cones, and any other floral embellishments (Dollar Tree)
- Christmas bow for topper
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Floral foam
- 7 inch planter, or some type of basket, box, or container
Directions
1
Take the tree out of box and separate each branch. Instead of setting up the stand, I used a piece of floral foam to support it.
2
Spray faux snow all over each tree branch and let dry.
3
Cut faux berries into smaller bundles and hot glue them to tree branches. Glue any additional embellishments trying to make them evenly spaced throughout the tree.
4
Place tree in a flower pot, basket, decorative box, bowl, or any other desired container.
Dollar Tree Makeover Success!
I’m passionate about decorating my home for Christmas without spending a ton of money and these trees can be transformed using just a few easy supplies you may already have on hand! I love how mine kinda have a farmhouse look to fit in with the style of my house. You can customize them with any colors you’d like, too!

What kind of flocking spray did you use?
It’s just called Faux Snow – in a spray can. I linked it in the beginning paragraph 😉
Where did u get the faux snow spray ?
Home Depot – Walmart – Most big box retailers have it. Hope that helps 🙂
I did this exact diy 2 weeks ago! So fun to see that someone else had the same idea and it turned out just as cute!! ❤️🌲
Oh yay! So fun 💕
They also sell little white trees, I bought one a couple years ago and decorate it for fall, Halloween, & Christmas! You could keep it up all year round and also decorate it for Valentine’s Day, Easter, etc!
I need to get this Xmas trees….will be a nice project with the kids.
Thanks for the idea
Sure – enjoy Kelly!
I’m a prek teacher and I bought this to have a tree decorating center with plastic ornaments and bells, and more!
Oh how sweet! I bet the kids love that 💕🎄
Do you think I could spray paint the tree pink?
yes, that sounds fun! I think spray paint would work!
