1. Faux fireplace by @marilynwinn
Marilyn turned an old TV cabinet into a festive faux fireplace using plywood, timber moulding and vintage scrollwork.
2. Christmas cottage by @prettyliving
Jess transformed an old dollhouse into a wintery Christmas cottage. She gave the house texture using Polyfilla Exterior Masonry and had the clever idea of using expanding foam filler to create the look of a snow-covered roof.
3. Recycled hardwood Christmas tree by @robchin
Rob created a Christmas tree using three pieces of recycled hardwood from a demolished house. Lights, baubles and other festive decorations can be hung from steel cable in the centre of the tree.
4. Christmas decorations by @Wayne
Wayne created wonderful Christmas decorations by cutting festive images into MDF boards using a CNC router. With intricate carving details, they’re ready for colour and can make a fun painting activity for kids.
5. Mini Christmas trees by @Poppop
Workshop member Poppop made these small trees for table centrepieces using hardwood garden stakes for the trunks, plywood bases and Pine moulding as branches.
6. Tabletop Christmas tree by @robchin
Rob had the clever idea of using wooden packaging that came with a new dishwasher, nuts and threaded rod to create a rustic tabletop Christmas tree.
7. Decking timber Christmas tree by @Noyade
Workshop member Noyade cut a pentagon shape for the top of this Christmas tree and then connected five pieces of decking timber on hinges to make it easy to pack away after the festive season.
8. Plywood Christmas tree by @sburatto
Workshop member sburatto shared this affordable Christmas project that uses few materials to create a stylish timber tree.
