Decide how tall you want your Christmas tree to be. To get a perfect triangle, start by measuring the width at the bottom for the base.
We planned on adding 3 floating shelves out of the 2 x 4 wood and marked for placement where we felt they would look best. The shelves were going to be screwed on from the back through the wood, so we marked it on the backside.
Next, we measured and cut the wood with a chop saw to build the base and the legs to attach to the stand.

We lay out the base before screwing it all together.
We built the box a little more than half the width of the tree at 24″ and 12″ deep. This would give it a nice stable base that wouldn’t tip over.

Prior to assembly I spray painted the 2 x 4’s with white primer/semi-gloss paint. Then we used 2 1/2″ screws to attach the tree legs to the base.

The next step was to add the marble contact paper to the tree shape. We applied it on the horizontal aligning the pattern and smoothed it out as we went along.
Then we attached the floating shelves by screwing a 1″ drywall screw through the back of the plywood into each shelf. Next, we screwed the tree onto the legs with 2″ drywall screws.
