The leaves are changing; the weather’s cooler, and there aren’t many pages left in your monthly calendar. It’s time to think about Christmas Trees & holiday decorations ideas! But why spend a lot of cash when you don’t have to? Instead, why not get the family together and use discarded wooden pallets? They’re cheap – usually free – and you’ll have wonderful family memories, as well as a sense of pride that your family made the trimmings! And, last, but not least, a great advantage is that by using recycled pallet wood, there’s no need to cut a tree only for the holiday season! ;) So, to inspire you, we have found 65 brilliant Christmas trees & holiday decorations ideas all made from repurposed wood pallets.

A simple Christmas tree made from one repurposed pallet. Simple elegance: Make a base with pallet blocks and boards. Secure a vertical board in place with metal angle brackets. Cut more deck boards in graduated sizes and attach them. Voila – a tree is born!
Outdoor Pallet Christmas Trees also made with only one discarded wooden pallet.
A beautiful Christmas stand for kids that can be converted into a lemonade stand for the summer. A great stand – easily made by designing a box or even copying one of our numerous pallet bar designs, and then adding two vertical pieces to support whatever style sign you wish to display!
A pallet Christmas tree ready to welcome presents from Santa. Instead of spacing the boards, pack them tighter to give that illusion of a lush tree. Then decorate at will! Gorgeous, indoors or out!
A Christmas Advent calendar made from one single repurposed pallet. All you have to do is to remove one deck and leave the other intact! Then, hand-paint or stencil the numbers (and any other decorations) you want onto the pallet. This would be wonderful to have the kids help with!
This tree is made out of recycled pallet planks and decorated with Christmas balls & felt garlands. This ingenious little tree is made using a lovely branch as the center, and the deck boards are drilled out and secured in place (or you could make half-lap joints, cut the branch into pieces and glue…, etc.). This could decorate your house and help clean up your yard at the same time! :)
A simple and lovely Christmas tree made from one single pallet and decorated with a light string. Another easy idea – and you could burn the wood or stain it dark to get that, beautiful effect. The cute little lights highlight the wonderful wood grain visible!
A fresh Christmas tree made from one single pallet. Just saw a triangle out of a wooden pallet, put some screws, paint it, add decorations and voila!
Another 3D Christmas tree made from one upcycled pallet. Stable and eye-catching! This ultra-modern take on a Christmas tree is a show-stopper! Just take your time to cut your angles right! You could even make this tree so you could fold or easily disassemble it for storage under your bed or back of the closet!
Pallet Christmas Trees in a Christmas Tree shape! This is a tree that begs for spotlighting to cast fantastic shadows! Simple idea, and if you work with thin pieces, very easy to make (you could even staple the pieces together).
Christmas wall art made from reclaimed pallet wood. But it’s not all about the trees. Don’t forget the trimmings for the rest of the house, and the front yard, and the backyard…. :)
A different take on Pallet Christmas Trees! Just paint a Christmas tree on an old pallet, add some nails, and hang decorations on it. A perfect project for the kids (so you can assemble some of those presents you purchased them)! Only paint a tree shape of your design onto a pallet. Let it dry, and decorate at will!
Beautiful Christmas tree made with more than 50 pieces of pallet planks. Love the shape and the decorations! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! This is a great way to bring holiday cheer while using scraps from other projects! Drill the pieces and then stagger them to create a round, full, shape.
Christmas decorations made out of reclaimed pallets. Maybe you’re limited on space, but you don’t have to limit your Holiday Cheer! Make some window-worthy decorations and share the joy!
Very original Christmas tree with an unusual shape. Made with one pallet and a half and it took around 4 hours to make it. Unusual areas demand unusual and creative designs like this one. Some trees are tall, and some are shorter. This one is so cute and pinecone-shaped!
Triangle shaped Christmas tree full of original decorations, of course, made from recycled pallets!
Another lovely shaped Christmas tree from an upcycled pallet and decorated with Christmas balls & pine cones.

If you’re fed up with real Christmas trees, here’s a sweet and simple Christmas tree to do with one single pallet, some white paint (or other colors) and decorations. It’s a snowy tree! Just stain or paint the pallet a darker tone, and then put a white tree over it. Another kid-friendly design. If you’re worried about chemicals, try PureColor’s line of VOC-free, non-toxic stains.
