Who would’ve known some Lumberjack scrapbook paper could look so Christmas-y?! This Scrapbook Paper Christmas Tree is a fun, easy, and affordable way to make some DIY rustic decor for Christmas this year. It came out so good, I just may want to make a few of them with different combos of scrapbook paper!
We’ve made it to Day 21 of our 2022 Countdown to Craftmas *cue air claps*! Ok, I may be writing these out of order, but out of order it better then not at all right!? Today I bring you the DIY Lumberjack Scrapbook Paper Christmas Tree.
The fact that it’s Day 21 can only mean one thing……that I’ve been crafting live on FB for 21 straight days, and (ok maybe 2 things) that Christmas is just 4 days away! Are you ready?
As I mentioned, I’m not exactly writing these in order of our Countdown, but if you want to check out the last one I got up on the blog make sure to head on over to Day 4- Wood Block Christmas presents! But first, let me walk you through this amazing Scrapbook Paper Christmas Tree!

How to Make a Scrapbook Paper Christmas Tree
I made this amazing Lumberjack Scrapbook Christmas Tree on video, so you can WATCH the step by step tutorial on HERE.
We started off covering the back of a Dollar Tree sign with Antique Wax. The surface was about 5″x15″, but you could make this any size. Once its been stained, dry brush white all over to give it an almost “snowy” look.
Next we cut several triangles of coordinating scrapbook paper. We then used glue dots to attach them to the board, one on top of the other, folding them just a bit in the middle to make them 3D so they pop off of the surface like you see below.
You could use any type of scrapbook paper you like, it doesn’t have to be the rustic lumberjack theme that I went with. Trust me I get it, not everyone wants to use Camo in their Christmas Decor.
Last but not least, make an adorable little messy bow as the tree topper. Just layer a bunch of coordinating ribbons on top of each other in an X formation, and tie a piece of twine around the center.
How stinkin’ cute did this Scrapbook Paper Christmas Tree turn out! SO happy we made it through 21 days of CRAFTMAS so far, make sure to stay tuned for day 22!
