Free Printable Jesse Tree Ornaments

Have you ever heard of a Jesse Tree before? I just learned of it a few years ago. I had no idea what it was, and I am excited to share this lovely tradition with you. Your family will enjoy these free printable Jesse tree ornaments and ideas to create your own. 

Jesse Tree

A Jesse Tree is a special way to celebrate Advent. Advent is the season of waiting for Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The tree is named after Jesse, the father of King David, where the lineage of Jesus comes from.

The Jesse Tree gets it’s name from Isaiah 11:1-2 “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him.”

Making a Jesse Tree

There are many different ways you can make a Jesse tree. You can start by creating a homemade tree with your family.

We like to collect sticks and branches out of our yard. Winter is a great time to do this as most of the branches are bare and the leaves are gone. This is a great way to involve small children and get them excited to learn more about the meaning of Christmas.

If your yard is sparse and you don’t want to go out and collect you can purchase a small tree. There are many different tabletop trees that are perfect to hang your Jesse tree ornaments on.

You can hang your homemade stick tree on your wall like an advent calendar. Some families like to display it in a big jar on the kitchen table or fireplace mantle. The sky is the limit to how creative you can get with this.
