Step by Step Christmas Tree Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw a Star on Top
Begin with a five-pointed star near the top of the page—this will be the tree’s topper!
Step 2 – Start the First Tree Layer
Under the star, draw a curved triangle-like shape with a wavy bottom edge—this forms the first branch layer.
Step 3 – Add More Branch Layers
Stack three more similar shapes below the first, each one slightly wider than the one above. This builds the tree’s body.
Step 4 – Draw the Tree Trunk
Add a small rectangle beneath the last layer to create the trunk.
Step 5 – Decorate with Ornaments
Draw small circles all over the tree branches to create holiday ornaments.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face and Color!
Give the tree a friendly face on the trunk and then start coloring! Use greens for the branches, yellow for the star, and bright reds, blues, and golds for the ornaments.
