Hey friends, let's dive into the holiday season with a fun and festive Christmas DIY project!

I built this project a few years ago, but never put a video together for it. So this year, I revisited and rebuilt it, this time, with the intent to share the video with you!

I hope you enjoy :)

Grab the tutorial and additional project details here: woodshopdiaries.com/diy-nesting-christmas-tree-shelf

And grab the printable plans with diagrams and dimensions here: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/products/stackable-wooden-christmas-tree

Several people have asked what to use this for and we like to use ours to display Christmas cards! But you can also use it to display any Christmas decorations, wrap it in lights, store some small gifts, set your advent calendar up on it--get creative!

And during the off season, it easy stores away, but you can also keep it out and use the individual sections for decorative lanterns, plant stands (or some people have suggested side tables, but they might be a little too short for a side table), etc.
