DIY Christmas Tree Decor
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I’m a firm believer that when you find an amazing staple, you share it. So, here I am sharing the best-ever sprigs I’ve found to use for holiday decor, floral arrangements, and door hangers. They have four distinct ways to use them.
I picked up the wall art on clearance knowing I wouldn’t use the front as it was, but the back was stunning. Just a reminder to keep your eyes open for anything!

What You Will Need
- wooden slat wall decor or another solid piece
- the best-ever pine sprigs (seriously, I love these and have purchased them many times)
- small Christmas ornaments (mine were about 2 inches)
- hot glue gun, wire cutters, and scissors
Note that I also swapped around my hardware – I used the same hanger and screws from the piece I purchased. I also used spackle and some paint to hide the holes.

How to Make This Fun Christmas Decor DIY
I flipped the entire piece over and will be working on the back. I loved this because I can store it and the decorations will be protected inside of the picture itself.
Lay out the pine sprigs in a triangle shape resembling a Christmas tree. I used the wire cutters to remove sections from some branches. The cut off pieces were used at the top to finish the tip of the tree, so keep those.
Once you have the placement of the sprigs, use hot glue to secure them into place. I held each one for about thirty seconds.
After each sprig is dry, bend the ends / tips towards the hanging to give it nice, polished look.
Glue on the Christmas baubles under the sprigs, add on the hanging hardware, and your easy Christmas project is done and ready for display.
