Just Might DIY

File this one under: tree-mergency makeover! Our beautiful live tree, which we cut down together at a lovely family farm, crunchy quit on us this year just a few days before Christmas. It was probably user error. We forgot to give the trunk a fresh cut right before we put it in the stand.

Normally, we’d be traveling for the holidays. But since we just got married in November, we were planning a nice, quiet Christmas at home with the pups.

And Christmas just wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have a tree…

Being makers, though, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to buy an artificial one. If we were going to have a fake tree, we were going to make it!

That one little decision set off a marathon of making, but we ultimately turned this Christmas setback into a stunning life-sized DIY acrylic Christmas Tree using our Glowforge laser cutter.
