Step One: Draw the top of the tree
Start by drawing the very top of the tree. A triangle without a bottom line is the easiest way to do this quickly.
Step Two: Draw the first tree layer
Remember that bottomless triangle you drew a few minutes ago? Draw a ruffled edge at the bottom to close it off and make the first layer for the tree.
Step Three: Draw the second tree layer
Since you’re making an evergreen tree, you need to make another layer. Just draw an angled line down from the bottom of the top layer, and then make that same ruffled bottom as you did above.
Step Four: Make another tree layer
You can’t have a holiday season with a small tree, right? Make two more angled lines for this step, and then draw a ruffled bottom.
Step Five: Make the bottom portion of the tree
As you can see, there is nothing complex about this easy drawing. Make a horizontal line going down from the third layer, and then draw the ruffled bottom.
Step Six: Add the star on top
Draw a star right on top of the tree. Also, draw the bottom stump for the holiday tree, too.
Step Seven: Add the tree decorations
Draw lines on each layer of the tree, switching directions back and forth. If you’re nervous, use a pencil and have an eraser handy to redo.
Step Eight: Draw on the Christmas ornaments.
Draw circles and stars and various shapes all over the tree. This represents the hanging Christmas ornaments.
Step Nine: Add candy canes
You can add as many candy canes as you want! Add some to each layer!
Step Ten: Color the tree
Grab the markers and the crayons and color the tree, star, and ornaments.
