Home Depot’s DIYWorkshop Recap
Post sponsored by The Home Depot, but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure.
This saturday I had so much fun participating in the Home Depot DIY Workshop. When I arrived at the store everyone was so friendly and welcoming! We went ahead and set up for the students to arrive and I was even given my very own iconic orange apron. I wish my dad had been there to see that!
This particular workshop’s focus was on creating a super cute Christmas tree for the front yard. This project involved the use of some heavy power tools like a jigsaw, a drill, and an sander. I had used all of these tools before, but many of our students had not. It was so fun to watch each of them come forward and give the tools a try!
When I had seen advertising for Home Depot’s I had no idea that they would be so hands on! Everyone got a chance to ask questions and get their hands dirty, it was awesome! If you didn’t get a chance to go, but still want to learn how to make this project, you can find instructions and a how to video here.
Here in the desert we don’t get much snow so the leaders of the workshop put theirs in a pot and stuffed some cotton batting in to make it a little more festive. I thought it was such a cute personal touch to add to their tree!
That got me thinking, how will I customize my own tree? My holiday decor is not so traditional. I think I will be painting my trees gold and white and placing my lights in different designs. I am leaning toward one that says “Joy”, one with polka dots, and one with stars. What do you think? I think it will be so fun!

A few years ago my mom gave me 2 trees that are very similar to these except they’re a bit more narrow. I’m not sure who made them but it was a cool idea.
that is just awesome. i’ll have to see if there are any fun workshops at my local store. love the tree.
Oh what fun. Hubby is a contractor and has recommended that I go to those DIY workshops but it always slips my mind. I totally need to go if we are making thinks like this 🙂 Thanks for sharing
I wish I would have been able to attend! Love how it turned out, it will look fantastic in your front yard!
That’s a really cool project! Simple projects have always been my favorite.
That is such a cute project to do. I will have to check out my local Home Depot to see what DIY classes they are having.
I would so love to make something like that, and it looks so easy too! I love that it’d last against the elements too – very sturdy!
I love this! Very pretty and it came out so good. I love the lights!!!
That is too cute! I’ll have to put this on my husband’s “honey do” list.
What a fun Christmas project. It’s really cute.
This looks like it was a ton of fun. I checked, but our local Home Depot didn’t have anything like this.
Oh that is so awesome! I want to become more DIY and handy.
That sounds like so much fun! I wonder if my HD is having one.
How cute is that!! I’ve been to the ones for kids, but haven’t seen anything like this.
This is so great that Home Depot offers these Do It Yourself workshops. The Wood Christmas Tree is so cute.
