Cheap Tree Season

dr_dodge Wednesday, 11/27/2024

I know some have expressed sticker shock on the cost of pre made trees. (3 were $11 at hobbylobby, ooffff)

With the Chrismas decorations in full swing, I look for cheap "tree stock."

the mini tree's usually disassemble into at least a dozen mandels,

the long green string things, are a wealth of mini pine trees.

you can use tape or string to put multiples together to form non pines.

paint brown w/ spray cans, then use craft glue and stick ground foam on them

static grass also works on them great, too

So during the time from now, until the sales after xmas, I build up my stock of tree starter kits.

I saw some small trees at Dollar Tree very similar to the trees with the M2 Coca-Cola trucks that have trees with them. 2-3 per bag. 


  • thats what I'm sayin' keep an eye out, lots of great cheap stuff, and I just put it up for later — dr_dodge

I'm checking local community page. Asking around the train guys if they have any stuff like trees, people figurines etc.. might find cheap and or swap.. lol everyone knows my wife bakes cookies to sell for football and I'm going to barter a dozen for items...


Youtube is loaded with super simple tree tutorials... cheap and fairly easy...

  • yea, I like making trees and scenery out of common stuff, and all it takes is imagination — dr_dodge
