    How to Make a Tomato Cage Christmas Trees
    Equipment Needed
    Great Christmas Recipe and Ideas

    I really wanted to decorate our new house this year but did not want to go out and spend a ton of money on holiday decorations.

    These holiday trees are made with tomato cages and twinkle lights. I just wrapped the lights up and down the tomato cages and I was done.

    We used bricks to hold the light up trees in place since we live in a really windy area of Spokane.

    You could also use stakes and hold them in the ground if you wanted them out in the grass and not on your front porch.

    I love how cute and fun they look on the front porch. This is one of our favorite Christmas Decor ideas for outdoor decorations.

    They can be spruced up by adding holidays bows, ribbon, twine, fabric, pine cones, pipe cleaner, garland, outdoor ornaments, a fun tree topper, and more to create a festive touch with tree trimmings.

    Kids will love helping with the string of Christmas Lights. These Christmas Tree Tomato Cage Decorations look great in the front yard! Use them to decorate during the holiday season.

    We have even seen people using them for Halloween by placing a white sheet over them with dark eyes.

    You can join us on Pinterest for tons of fun holiday recipes and tips!

    Equipment Needed

    To make DIY Tomato Cage Christmas Trees you only need a few things. Make sure there is an electric plug near wear you want the trees to be on display. You may need an extension cord.

    • Wire Tomato Cage
    • Multiple strings of lights.
    • Bricks or a heavy base to hold them down.
    • Zip Ties - if you want to hold the lights in a specific place or to hold the bottom of the trees to a planter.

    Lights - These can be done with colorful lights or white string lights depending on your preference.

    Decorations - Check Dollar Tree or a dollar store for fun outdoor decorations that you don't have to stress about being outside in December. They may also have strands of lights, a glue gun, glue sticks, and more for a great price.
