5 DIY tree alternatives that will fit into the tiniest of spaces

Don’t have the room to erect a full-sized fir or cedar? Don’t fret! We’ve got five stylish DIY tree alternatives that can fit into the tiniest of spaces.

Hang Out

Fashion several spare wire hangers into a diamond-shaped mobile and hang the result on a wall. Jazz it up with a bunch of colourful baubles strung on ribbon, slightly varying the lengths for an organic feel. As a striking topper, tack on a sparkly snowflake ornament.

Roll With It

Utilize all the extra gift wrap lying around by forming it into a wall-hung tree. Start with the longest roll at the bottom and work your way up to the shortest (you’ll need to trim them as you work toward the top). To finish it off, add a base and topper cut from your favourite paper.

Twist Tradition

Use a free knob to display a makeshift mini evergreen. A wire coat hanger is easy to bend into submission, especially if you first create a paper template to follow.
