You could just go for a traditional Christmas tree this year. But if you're too creative, too cheap, too lazy, or too close to the equator for a real tree, there are plenty of creative DIY Christmas trees that will save you money and time or give you a unique way to go about your festive home decor.

From seemingly floating Christmas decorations to reusing old books and even incorporating some funny puns, the DIY projects here are endless. On the other hand, why cut a perfectly good tree and then throw it away after all the festivities, when you can make your own. No harm done and bonus points for creativity!

There are plenty of brilliant Christmas DIY ideas out there, so if you've got one you'd like to share or that you've made yourself, we'd love to see it added to this list. You can also upvote your favorite idea and give it a try!

I'm just imagining how angry i'd be if someone knocked it! Unknotting Christmas lights is one thing, but this.... Looks pretty though!

Am I the only person who thinks the bottom should be on the roof and the top should be on the floor?
