If you want to give the tree a base, you can use the same idea that I used with the wood slice snowman. Use a few wood slices to glue to the bottom of the tree. It can also be glued to a piece of wood, painted cardboard, or anything similar that can be propped against the mantle if you wish.

What Can I Use to Frame This?

A picture frame is a great way to add a frame to this wood slice mini Christmas tree. You can also use things like a shadow box. Anything that creates the framing effect around the tree will give the same effect.

You can also create your own frame. Use scrap wood pieces to create a frame. Juar glue or nail the wood into a frame, and add a cardboard backing to glue the tree onto. You can even use cardboard and wrap it in festive scrapbook paper.

Where Can I Find Wood Slices for Crafting?

Some people get their wood slices from trees around their home or use slices that they get from the bottom of the Christmas tree before placing it in the stand. Of course, it's easiest to pick them up in the craft area of your local department store.

If you need to get wood slices for crafting you can get there online or in some craft stores. Big box stores like Walmart or craft stores like Michaels, Joannes, or Hobby Lobby sell these pieces of wood. You can order the wood slices online from places like Amazon and Etsy. Sometimes, people also sell these pieces of wood on the Facebook marketplace.
