This year my Christmas Tree started to collapse, despite my efforts I was not able to keep it together until Christmas day so I decided I would repurpose it.
You don't need to have a single creative bone in your body to do this trust me.
As it was a 6ft Tree make sure you check out the other parts/posts.
The top of the tree
A decorative pot
Styrofoam
Some pebbles or a small rock as weight (if needed)
Fairy lights and decorations (optional)
Ryobi utility knife
Measure and cut circles in Styrofoam the same size as the pot. I used the pot as a template to indent the Styrofoam then used the Ryobi utility knife to cut the circles out. (cut as many as you need I used two)
Pierce a hole in the centre with the rod from the top of the tree.
Place them in the pot and stick the top of the tree in the hole. Add weight if required.
Fluff and style branches, decorate and enjoy.
Ok, you have convinced me. I am going home and at the very least put some Christmas lights on my trees!
I really think the greenery factor makes a difference to the room, and again, thats a nice reuse of the tree.
