CHOOSE a basket that is sturdy and
is large enough for your tree stand to fit inside and clears all the edges. Make sure to measure before you go shopping.
Personally, I’m looking for one
that goes with our ‘white’ Christmas Tree, or you can spray paint one. Make sure the basket sits flat on the floor
when turned upside down.
Note: a basket with a finer weave
will be easier to cut.
CUT a circle in the bottom of the
basket using the pruning shears. Avoid cutting
the seam joining the side to the bottom.
Make sure the hole is big enough to get your hands in when positioning
the tree in the stand. You can always make the hole larger. Use silicone to cover the rough cut edges.
PLACE the basket upside down and
place the tree stand inside. This is
where you’ll know whether you can get your hands inside to secure your
tree. Insert your tree into stand and
secure it. If your boughs hang down
enough, you will not see any hole in the basket.
ENJOY and happy decorating!!
