Christmas Time is Near

I am so excited that it is almost Christmas Time!!  We decorated tonight and it just makes me happy! :)

Thanks to my Aunt Linda for a new craft idea.  This past weekend I made a tomato cage Christmas Tree.  It was an inexpensive way to create a tree for my front porch.  All in all the project cost about $10.  I thought I would share how to make this tree for others interested.

Supplies:

1 Tomato Cage

18-20 feet of Branch Garland (Lighted or Plain)

Lights (if Garland is not lighted)

Picks for Decoration

Ribbon

Zip Ties (to secure garland)

Step 1:

Secure the top of the tomato cage with a zip tie to ensure the top is a cone.

Step 2:

Secure garland to bottom ring of the tomato cage.  Start garland at bottom and wrap towards the top securing with zip ties along the way.

Step 3:

Wrap the tree with lights if garland does not include lights.

Step 4:

Make your bow or other tree topper.

Step 5:

Decorate and Enjoy!
