Are you looking for an easy Christmas craft idea for adults and kids?
This wooden Christmas tree is a great beginner woodworking project!
These spiral Christmas trees can add a touch of flare to your Christmas holiday decor. This is one of those wooden Christmas decorations that you can use year after year. And it stores flat in the off season.

I’ve included a complete cut list in this description (found below). I’ve already done the math for you so you can make any size tree from 3 feet up to 7 feet.

SHOW SOME LOVE! Help me buy materials for my next project.
