I’ve been hoping for an Isaac Alexander DIY PVC Christmas tree tutorial this year.
Thanks for delivering, Isaac! 🎄
Yours is - by far - less complex and less complicated than any other version I’ve seen. Your use of PEX Pipe is a game changer, bro! 👏
And your 1/2-in Push-to-Connect Coupling piece alternative makes the cost of this project so very reasonable. 🧾
After viewing your tutorial, I went right on to Lowe’s and got materials for 3 trees.
Thanks for always including a detailed supply list in each video’s description. It made purchasing everything incredibly easy. 🙌
My dad and I are working on this project together over Thanksgiving.
While shopping Wednesday, he said that Lowe’s should be paying you for bringing in so much business! I definitely agree! 🙂
We’re looking forward to assembling the trees on Friday.
As always, thanks for another awesome tutorial, Isaac. Thanks even more for providing so many opportunities for families to bond and to build lasting holiday memories together. ❤️ 💚
Thank you so much for leaving such a heartfelt and detailed comment. I aim to make things easy and accessible for anyone, no matter their DIY building skills.
I’m glad that the push to connect coupling piece was a reasonable alternative. I hope you and your dad have a good time building these
Love your tutorial, just wondering the footage of lights for a. 6 to 7 foot tree
@@strikerz2912 my trees I made are 6-7 feet so just use the same instructions for these trees
how many feet of lights
You re kind bro...
My 10 year old and I went for one last drive to see lights last night and he really wants trees for next year. This video is great. Thanks so much for sharing!
Probably one of the best and most straightforward videos I’ve seen for this process. Well done. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! My 85 year old mother and I made a 9 ft tree. It took longer than I thought, but my Mom is a perfectionist. It turned out great!!! ❤🎄
If price is an issue, instead of buying the PEX tool, clamps, and fittings, you can just get one SharkBite 1/2-in Push-to-Connect Coupling. This will work the same, cost a fraction of the price, and will only show a little metal in the coupling, which can easily be painted to mask. Just a tip for those who are only buying the pex stuff for this project. The tool alone is over $50, where the coupling is just from $8 to $10 per piece.
An even easier alternative would be to simply use white duct tape to secure the two ends. The pipe isn't under incredible pressure, and it makes it easier to take down at the end of the season.
Thank you so much for this cost saving tip, I can’t believe I didn’t think about the push to connect coupling, thank you so much for this!
Great idea. To also save money, could I use a hula hoop. I have so many I never used in the summer. Some of them are very large in diameter and some smaller. I could cut them and use the duct tape to secure the two ends as you suggested Ernie if I use the couplings.
@@robinowens2851 yup, I think a small hula hoop would also work. Good suggestion.
Can you just use hose clamps?
@@poolman8676 you can, but the pressure isn't great on this tubing, so quite honestly, just get some white duct tape and connect it with that. It's an even cheaper alternative and you won't notice it.
Great idea! After Christmas sales are the best time to buy Christmas lights for next year! I made a PVC tree like this that I have been using for about 12 years (10’ PVC but had to put metal conduit inside to stiffen it up). But this gave me some ideas to improve it (the ring at the bottom and the T connectors.) I keep wanting to make a 6’ and 4’ tree to sit next to the 10’ one. So this video gave me ideas. You might want to wrap the screws at the top in electrical wire (or use drinking straws around them) so the wires don’t rub on them and the insulation gets cut. (The straws will be like sleeves around the screws).
I never could have ever imagined that, those trees are just so pretty at night. GREAT JOB!
Thanks for this fantastic tree idea! My yard is already done this year so I will make a couple of these PVC trees next year for sure. One suggestion though--to secure it to the lawn if you don't happen to have any rebar, you can use landscape pins/garden stakes around the bottom. I use them on all of my lighted yard ornaments to keep them from blowing away in the wind. Thanks again for your clear instructions in this tutorial!
I also have some tips for the windy, stormy areas of the US. It gets really windy and rainy here in Dec. so I use heavy duty landscape staples, the U shaped ones, to hold down all of my x-mas decorations. So for this tree, in my area, I would skip the legs and use the staples to secure the tree to the ground. Also for the screws on top, I'm going to wrap the sharp parts with electrical or waterproof gorilla tape to keep the light strings extra safe. I really Love the candy cane look!
I made candy cane poles a couple years ago, using 2" pvc and red duct tape, super easy. Then I took smaller pvc and cut them diagonal to hammer into the ground and used pipe wrap to around those, slide the candy cane poles over them and they're stand secure. I first used balls on top, but have since bought solar pathway lights that are globes, and change from red to green, the spike attached and put them right on top, they line the driveway. I made the giant lollipops using PVC as well, pool noodles and duct tape that i've seen on youtube..so a whole candy cane ish them going, with my fleet of reindeer (that I'm currently restringing with new lights...)
I'm alway DIY'ing things, PVC is awesome for so many things! Trees have been the one thing I've been looking for an easy cheap solution for!! So again, really glad I found your tutorial!! Now I'll have trees!
This seems to be 1 of the more simplified ways to build this type of Christmas tree. I've been wanting to make an old fashion Christmas tree lot like in A Christmas Story w/ this type of lighted tree. Again, just another project I get to do. Thanks for the easy DIY
You’re very welcome !
These trees are absolutely beautiful
This looks great and peace and joy to you who see it!

Very impressive. Think I'll try a couple this year. I've so much outdoor Christmas decorations, but a couple of these on the side of my home will look great. Good luck with your book.
Great idea. Thanks so much for your sharing
Amazing
Absolutely Beautiful
This is one of my favorite tutorials of yours. Thank you
Happy to hear that! It’s one of my favorite as well!
Thanks for this amazing tutorial. I'm going to try to make one this year. I liked and subscribed. Thanks for the great attention to detail on this tutorial. Added bonus is that you included all the materials needed. 👍
Awesome! Thank you for subscribing and I’m glad that you liked my tutorial. You should definitely try making it this year!
These are really cute and something most everyone can make. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄

Awesome project! You could also use the dollar tree hula hoops, if you unwrap them they have a connector already in place! Also, how are you storing these during the off season?
I love these. Everything looks so magical. Well done!
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks great!
Great content as always!! Thanks for sharing with us 🎄 you make it look so easy!

Major thumbs UP!
Thank you Isaac for sharing. It's beautiful
You’re very welcome !
I just finished making my first Christmas Tree frame and connecting the base as you showed us in the 2nd video. Great idea on that. I’m going to decorate tomorrow. I’m getting ready to binge more of your videos.
Yay! I’m so happy you were able to make them!
Merry Christmas!
About how much did the material cost?
@@cicibradley2809 I’m guessing but maybe $50 for the frame.
That is really beautiful! What a creative mind you have. The work i so simple yet breathtaking. Nice job!
Awesome, I am for sure going to try this
That is fantastic next year these will be in my yard too wife's Done told me so Thank you for a great videoWish I would have seen this sooner
Love ❤️ this and you can take apart to easily store and re-use
Thank you!
Wow great idea!!
Made this at 5ft using a set of Twinkly 400, looks awesome in the front yard with the effects going. Going to make one more so I have a set next year. Thanks!
Oh that sounds awesome!
Beautiful and so simple to make. Thank you Isaac. xoxo
You are so welcome!
Great idea! Easy to do, gorgeous effects!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Will attempt to make one.
Genius. I love your videos. Keep them coming. Great job.
Thanks for sharing, This looks nice! I have created 3 of these trees for my Light O Rama Christmas light show for this year.
Perfect. These would be great as part of a more complex display or a display containing only these trees.
I agree! And no, you can’t eat these
Will make these myself. Very straightforward. But will have to take it apart each year. Most of us would have no place to store it.
You do a great job explaining what to do! Thank you!
Appreciate your kind comment, Craig!
Thank you for sharing great trees
Great 4H float idea.
These trees look excellent. Thank you for showing us how it's done. Happy Holidays!
