These felt Christmas tree centerpieces are an easy-to-make DIY holiday decoration. Create a forest of Christmas trees for your holiday table, or decorate your fireplace mantle or shelves. You can even use them individually as gift toppers.

These felt Christmas trees have such a simple, modern feel, and you can make as big or small of a forest as you like. We love these just as much as our Snowman Hat Centerpiece!
You only need wine corks, lollipop sticks, and green felt, so it’s a budget-friendly Christmas craft as well. Here, I brushed the felt with “Snow-Tex,” a paint that gives a snow-like texture. This step is optional.

What you need to make Christmas tree centerpieces:
- Green felt (in different shades, if desired)
- Mix of 4-inch and 6-inch lollipop sticks
- Wine corks
- Drill
- Scissors
- Snow-Tex
- Paintbrush (optional)
Choose wine corks that easily stand on end without wobbling. Carefully drill holes in the wine corks about three-fourths of the way into the cork. Use a drill bit about the size of the lollipop stick diameter (I chose the 9/64 bit). Insert a lollipop stick securely into the drilled hole.
Cut the green felt into strips of roughly 6-inches by 1-inch. Start at the base and tie a strip around the lollipop stick with a single, tight knot. Fill the stick. Trim the edges of the felt so the felt diminishes in size from bottom to top.
If desired, brush some Snow-Tex on the green felt and let dry.
TIP: If desired, add a small dab of hot glue to the top of the stick and attach a small bead to prevent the felt from slipping off the top.
Arrange varying-sizes of trees on a cake plate. For an extra touch, add some faux snow to the plate (optional).
These felt Christmas tree centerpieces are simple to make with just a few, inexpensive supplies (hmm, I seemed to have plenty of wine corks around, too). Craft a whole forest, or just a few. Display them on your table, or anywhere around the house. For a different look, try a rainbow of felt colors and glue silver beads to the “trees.” These trees will fit into any holiday scheme you have.
