Steps

Gather Materials and Tools
Collect all the books you want to use for the tree. These can be of various sizes, but make sure they are stable enough for stacking. Gather decorations like fairy lights, tinsel, or small ornaments. You will also need a stepladder for reaching the top.
Select a Location
Choose a stable, flat surface to build your book Christmas tree. Ensure there is enough space around it for decorations and movement.
Create the Base Layer
Start by arranging the largest books in a circular or square formation. This will form the base of your tree. Ensure the books are aligned and stable.
Build the Tree
Continue stacking books in layers, gradually decreasing the number of books and their size as you move upwards. Keep the layers aligned and stable.
Add Decorations
Once the tree structure is complete, wrap fairy lights, tinsel, or other decorations around it. Consider adding a tree topper like a star or an ornament.
Final Adjustments
Step back and assess your book tree. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure it is stable and aesthetically pleasing.
