How to Draw a Christmas Tree

Drawing a neat Christmas tree becomes each kid’s ambition as the month of December draws near. Knowing how to draw a colorful Christmas tree, along with Santa Clause and reindeer pictures, can be a great help when planning handmade home decorations using themed posters and cut-outs. So, here is an easy, step-by-step drawing to help you draw a neat Christmas tree with twinkle lights and decorations.

Step 1

• Begin your drawing by making a tall skirt shape with a pointy top as shown in the picture. This is the outline for your Christmas tree crown.
• Next, make a little start on top of the skirt shaped outline followed by a small rectangle at the base for the tree trunk.
