I finally got around to working on my Christmas decorations for this holiday season. This year, I wanted to make something fun to go under my Christmas tree. I usually have a blue and white tree shirt, but it’s was getting pretty raggedy, and it was falling apart at the seams. I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough time to sew up a new tree skirt, so I figured I would just plan ahead, and save that sewing project for next year.
While I was wrapping up fake present props for my front door, I noticed that I had an extra box left to make one more present. I experiment with the box, and ended up making an awesome tree stand for my Christmas tree. Turned out to be a super cute, that matches perfectly with my front door decor.
Present Tree Stand
All you will need is:
-
A Box (one your tree stand can fit into)
-
Wrapping Paper
-
Tape
-
Tree Stand
-
Hot Glue
Step 1: Find a box that will fit the size of your tree stand at the bottom, with enough room for your tree to come out at the top. The box I have is a bit tall, so I will have to accommodate later.
Step 2: Cut the flaps off.
Step 3: If your box is too tall, like mines, ad a couple of smaller boxes to help balance of the your tree stand.
Step 4: Now, start wrapping your box up just you would presents.
Step 5: Cut a small hole for the top of your tree stand the come through.
Step 6: Get out your hot glue gun, and glue your ribbon around your box. Then you glue your bow onto your box. 
That’s it! This project took me about 15 minutes from start to finish.
This is so cute! What a fun idea plus no need for a tree skirt! Bonus!
Thank you Marie! I really wanted to do something that was different, but also fun.
That’s a great mix of Cute + Useful + Easy and i dig it! Great job.
Thank you Angie! And don’t forget, this tree stand is also easy on the pockets 🙂
This is such a cute, inexpensive Christmas DIY. I love this, thanks for sharing!
Isn’t It? I thought so too! Goes perfect with my present props outside my front door. Thank you Cara for stopping by and commenting.
Very creative! This is good for anyone who doesn’t want a traditional tree skirt, or who wants to mix things up a bit.
I agree Willow. Thank you!
What a pretty, creative idea!
Thank you Frugal Mom!
What a great idea! I love the bow around the center!
Thank you Tiffany! I found the bow at Big Lots.
So cute! It looks much better than the silly tree skirt we have around the bottom of ours. Thanks for the great idea!
Thank you and you are welcome Shann!
