Apparently the guy at Lowe’s told me that this time of year they sell more tomato cages than they do all summer because people are making tomato cage Christmas trees. Just a fun fact for you. I was one of those people. I have seen tomato cage Christmas trees around the web, but I didn’t see any that were “my style” you know that rustic cottage vibe? So I set out to make my own in my own style & I found out it was super easy. Of course my version of the tomato cage Christmas tree isn’t going to be for everyone, but by changing a few things around you can make them in your own style for your holiday decor!
It’s simple, It’s rustic, & it’s an adorable little Christmas tree! For now I have them sitting in our living room on either side of our card catalog console, but who knows they may find a new home very soon. They would be so pretty in any room & even on our porch lit up with Christmas lights.
Supply list: Tomato cages {found at hardware stores}, garland, string or floral wire.
I wanted to make the trees really simple looking & I wanted the cages exposed for more of a rustic look so I used an 11ft garland for the cages that I found at Michaels on sale. I started from the bottom & wrapped the garland around the cage as I went up & sectored with the floral wire. I also secured the top of the tomato cage with floral wire as well. After the garland was fully wrapped around I fluffed the garland and secured it in all of the places that it felt more loose.
You can thank Mr. LMB for these lovely cell phone photos of me working on my tomato cage trees.. we really have wild Sunday’s around here don’t we? But seriously I love these little christmas trees & I wish that I had made more! Think of all the possibilities with different garland, lights, bows, ornaments, you can completely make them your own. We all knew I was going to keep my simple & neutral.
What do you think of our sweet little DIY trees? I may be bias, but I think they are pretty cute & it’s always fun making something into your very own style. Have you made tomato cage christmas trees before? How did you make them? What did you you use? I would love to see them! Tag me on Instagram {@lizmariegalvan} or post them on my Facebook page! Let me know what you think of mine in the comments below & I can’t wait to hear from you!

What a great idea, I like the simple yet rustic look of this! Thanks for sharing, have a great day. 🙂
Wonderful!! Those would also be great outside weighted down of course and add cut branches of fir.
I love the idea of these! I might just have to hit the garden supply store this weekend and create a couple.
Love these! So simple and cute!
These are just the thing to decorate my waist high garden boxes this winter. I have all the supplies I need between my garage and my Christmas decorations. A great quick and easy way to brighten up my patio this winter.
These are so fun and cute! They would work outside, too on the porch!
Lovely! I always liked the idea of those but didn’t want the bright tinsel/glittery look. I’m definitely going to try it. I think it would be nice to spray paint the cages green or brown so they didn’t have such a harsh metal look and weave thin burlap ribbon throughout the greenery as well. So excited to get started!
I love these! I think I will make some for my front porch steps. You’re so creative. 🙂
