3 Easy DIY Holiday Projects You Can Make This Weekend!

[@jhold7553]

Absolutely not kidding. I was scrolling yesterday trying to find something small to build. Now I have 3 because I can't choose between any of these

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha it’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎄 (for making!) I hope these inspired you! Happy building 🔨

[@brewster3987]

Aw yay a little different sort of Woodshop Diaries video! I'm not normally a "crafty-projects" type, but these are so creative and fun that I forgot that I'm not normally a crafty type. Plus projects with friends are always a blast (Hey Abbi, you're a natural!) That multi-tiered serving tray is the kind of thing that is both useful and decorative! Thanks for a nice diversion on a Saturday morning.👍👍

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Crafty projects are so much fun sometimes to decompress from the stress of big builds. I think I love them more than furniture 🙈 but small projects don’t perform as well so I have to stick to sharing what gets the better views. That said, I do like to share some of them here and there and I’m glad you enjoyed these! I’m hoping Abbi makes more appearances in the future 🤞hopefully I didn’t scare her off haha. I hope you’re enjoying your weekend and I appreciate you letting me be a small part of it!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Those all turned out so beautiful and would be very unique to have as holiday decor!!! It's always such fun to build a project with a friend. I'm sure you and Abbi had a great time making the Christmas trees. Love how they turned out!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I do hope Abbi makes another appearance one of these days. It was so much fun to build together. I hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, I can't believe we're looking at Christmas already! Getting some Christmas projects going while listening to Jingle Bell music in the shop really gets me going. Plus it's a good use for all those scraps I've accumulated during the year. I sure hope you're having as much fun as it looks. Really enjoyed this video. As usual, hugs to the critters. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂🤩

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Right!? I can't believe we are halfway through November. It's still too warm here to be thinking about the holidays 😂 hopefully your weather is a bit cooler and that Jingle Bell music is getting you into the spirit 🎄 Bubs and Lou say hello and happy building!

[@timothycreasy2161]

They all involved trees, Made from trees. Very nice Ms. Shara. Working a project with a friend sounds like a fun time. 👍

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha you're right! I didn't even think about that! This video was a blast to make--I hope you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching!

[@jeremyhuggins8796]

Very cool! I love the way the sled came out, especially with the stencil.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! It was such a fun project!

[@johnford7847]

Very nice selection! I particularly like the Christmas tree as it would be very easy and space-efficient to store from one year to the next. Thank you very much.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed them 😊 have a wonderful weekend and happy building!

[@edmundhayes7982]

Thank you - These are terrific projects to try.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed them! Thank you so much for watching 🙌

[@StevenUniverse109]

These are so adorable. Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to get off work and start building these!

[@bonnieray388]

These are such great gifts anyone. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed them! Thank you so much for watching!

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, Shara! Really well done!!! 😃 The sled you can use even as a serving tray! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! Yes, the sled could definitely be a fun serving tray--that's a great idea! I hope you have a wonderful week and happy building!

[@tinaedwards7044]

Absolutely cute. Thanks for sharing

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed them. Have a wonderful week!

[@Hopefullymarried]

Very nice!! My wife is itching for the trees and lights, yesterday!!!! Haha Time to grab to tools and get cutting

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I side with her-bring out the trees and lights! 🙌😁 But seriously, I hope this boosted your Christmas spirit a little and gave you some fun ideas to help with the decorating. Happy building and thanks for watching!

[@guybowers9094]

Those are some great little projects

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed them! 🙌 I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@contestwill1556]

you're right random small projects are so underrated, especially for those of us who don't have as much shop time as we would like

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Absolutely--I love a good scrap wood or hour long build that doesn't feel so overwhelming!

[@NerdyStirFry]

I have so many scraps, it’s time for a small project. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Same--those scraps get out of control quickly 🙈 I hope this gave you some fun ideas!

[@jimrosson6702]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful week!

[@larrystone5749]

Congrats to both of you great job Everything turned out great Keep building

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I'm hoping we can convince Abbi to join in again sometime!

[@johnkelley9877]

These are so neat! They look great and you and Abbi did good work. Thanks for sharing this.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed them! Abbi definitely did a great job. Hopefully I can talk her into making another appearance soon! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for watching!

[@mikeschmidt5115]

Awesome projects, thank you ladies😊

[@avivat3010]

These are beautiful! You are so talented Shara.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

You’re so kind. Thank you! Happy building and have a great weekend!

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

These are great holiday projects Shara! Really nice and glad that you shared them. I noticed Lucy sneaking through at least once! Lol… happy holidays and please keep on building!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! Lucy and Bubs can be seen sneaking around behind the scenes ha! They weren't eager to be in the spotlight this go around. I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great week! Happy building!

[@susanharrell4898]

I love these!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Happy building 🔨

[@jeanchance9334]

Great holiday woodworking ideas! You are ao good and creative!

[@Micha_Ba]

Nice little easy builds for everyone. 🎅

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Love some small projects this time of the year! Thanks so much for watching!

[@DaPaVo358]

Great little projects Shara. The little "snow" pieces on the tree was a great accent. The vinyl tape for the sled really made it look nice!! great job. David

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed these projects--they were so much fun to put together. Happy building and have a wonderful week!

[@rodpotts2666]

Always up for new ideas for new projects.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hope you enjoyed these!

[@pdiddybrown45]

So stinking cute!

Great ideas, looking forward to the next video.

beautiful projects....

[@jenandreb]

So cute!!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you!! 💕

[@Анна-х8о1ч]

I'm watching from Russia. I admire you

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching!

[@seanmackey1094]

I love the simplicity, great vision and creativity!!!

[@bobbywweaver]

I love the Christmas trees. It might be simpler than tracing or taping to just use spray adhesive to adhere them to a thin piece of MDF; and then you'd have a re-usable template for batching out multiples with a router and pattern bit.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I love them all. I keep thinking…. The one you and Abbi did is my favorite. Then I’m like… no… the sled. Then I’m like… No… the first one. Then I go back and forth. So… I love them all. LOL

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed them! It’s hard to pick a favorite-they’re each unique in their own way. I’ve collected several holiday projects over the years-I’m almost out of room for all of them 😅🙈

[@ianpearse4480]

Fun.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dianes2300]

These are awesome!!! 💕 The tree stand would be even better if it could be taken apart to store in the off season. I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a way to pull that off but still stay sturdy when loaded with goodies. 🤔

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! I built a similar one like that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXKioVtr5aNgqssi=kTPT4210asBhOIKQ

[@michaelmeenaghan8559]

Talented and a pleasure to watch you create simple but delightful items.

[@cliff5240]

Neat little trick there with the tape measure on the first project. The sled turned out great!!!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! That little trick has come in handy SO many times--but I didn't invent it. I saw a friend of mine do it once and was like THAT'S GENIUS!

[@cliff5240]

@@WoodshopDiaries Well thanks for sharing -- some of the best tricks are stolen, I mean borrowed :)

[@tinaf4216]

Very cool project 😊

[@MrAlexVrcho]

Hey Shara! Watching from Austria and really enjoy your content. And your'e very likey the cutest cabinet maker around 😊

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos 😊I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

[@terrylee7390]

OMG! Love the 3 tier tree! You couldn't possibly need 2 of those! MERRY CHRISTMAS TOO MEEE!? 😆 Sincerely, one of ur biggest fans....♡

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed it! My mother in law has been eyeing it since I made the first one so I think I might have to gift her this one. But if I ever make another, I’ll have to send it your way 😉😅

[@terrylee7390]

@WoodshopDiaries oh, yes! Definitely need to keep the mother-in-law happy 😆 One of these days, I'll actually pick up a power tool and try making something I've watched you build. I've been following u for a while & you're definitely an inspiration....♡

[@micheldumont5298]

Très jolis projets

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much!

[@KimberlyBrown-r2d]

Love all three. Thank you!!

[@traceyj9455]

Really like that sled! Thanks for the inspo!

[@timrowe5448]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@leightondoswell453]

Project one I love the Idea but I dont have the space I would have to make it so I can dismount it. Also a circle on top so it all matches. Project 2 super fun I'm going to make one for the frount door. Project 3 is going to be my new cheese/serving board hahahaha

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! So glad you enjoy them! For the space savings, have you seen this stackable/nesting tree? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXKioVtr5aNgqssi=D6aYSub4hkYfiQK5

[@jasonthomas1760]

Awesome work Shara! The kid in me is curious how much alteration it would take to make your sled functional as well as decorative lol

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Ha! If we ever get enough snow here, I might have to find that out as well 😂

[@jasonthomas1760]

@WoodshopDiaries I get that I miss the snow I had growing up in Northern Michigan, hardly get anything here in Southern Missouri

[@rockstarfan886]

I mentioned on Instagram the other day I made the Snowflake 2 years ago and it's my wife's favorite but I forgot to mention I also made the nesting tree last year which she also loves I wish there was a way we can share with you photos of our builds.... time to go make more stuff

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! I love that so much! You absolutely can share your project photos with me. Feel free to email them to [e-mail]

[@kendrasmith253]

Love these! Two questions, if it isn't too much trouble: 1) Can the tree platter/stands hold mugs? I can't tell if you could sneak one in the top. 2) If I swap the little ornament-dowels on the tree art for clips, do you think it could be used as a holiday card holder/display? Thanks, I love your projects!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! Sure! 1: it depends on the size of your mug. The top tier could fit a small mug, but nothing huge. The middle and bottom can definitely hold some mugs. 2: of course! That’s such a fun idea!

[@billpalmer7723]

Thank you very much for these great plans and ideas to create from also also for your closed caption Bill deaf man can woodworker from Kansas

[@AlmaRussell-h5s]

Love them ! ❤ Do you give classes by any chance ? ZOOM or TEAM Classes ? I would love to learn.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

So glad you enjoyed them! I wish I had the time to do one on one classes. Maybe some day I can figure out a way to offer them

[@AlmaRussell-h5s]

@@WoodshopDiaries I can imagine you’re a hard working woman. Congratulations for your channel. You’re the best

[@rnorwood2815]

Will probable make all 3 myself but I'm thinking about a way to do some threaded inserts on the first one to attach the trays for easier breakdown to be able to store it better or ship it if I made for someone else.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! For a tree that’s “break down-able” have you seen this idea? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXKioVtr5aNgqssi=QBBSYZ4KxvFQbjEv

[@robertmarshall5034]

Someone is very lucky i 🤔 😊

[@GoulashMike]

Hey Shara, prior to starting projects do you use a planer or do any pre-work on your lumber (hard wood or soft) to get it ready?

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! It depends. If it’s rough sawn, yes. If surfaced already, no. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t.

[@ghrohrs2020]

I just watch to watch Shara...so beautiful.

[@Dan-ol2rd]

Hi Shara, I really enjoy your videos, thank you. Is the picture of the tree available to download?

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! I didn’t save the image to share a link, but we just googled “Christmas tree outline” and she picked one she liked to print. Any outline would work fine here-googling (or searching the web) gives you a ton of options to pick from.

[@TheBeerbelly007]

Hey Shara :)

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi!!! Thanks so much for watching. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

[@luvshak3095]

Hi Abbi!

I'm hoping we can convince her to come back again sometime!

[@justjeremy5692]

Oh....she makes stuff...😂... Yaaaa...I watch for the wood projects....ha..

[@bigk5486]

Do the plans come with the tree farm graphic so we can make our own stencil?

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hi! The plans are free on Kregs website for the build. You can find the graphic on my website that I created in Cricut design space: www.woodshopdiaries.com/diy-wooden-sled/

[@bigk5486]

@ Thanks for the quick response!

[@Ray-m9r3w]

What are the lengths of the pieces in the first Christmas tree. I would like to build this for my wife. I plan to use birch for the tree and walnut for the circles. It is solid wood and l plan on routering all the edges. I admire your work. Thanks. Ray
