Warm It Up

I love the idea of adding a runner rug to the base of your tree to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. It’s an effortless way to instantly elevate the vibes without much time or effort.

 

Use a Basket

I would place a small tree in a basket wrapped with a rope and adorned with colorful tassels for a pop of vibrancy. I could then move the basket onto a small table to add some height, and begin decorating the tree.

 

Pop It Into a Crate

I would choose a small tree and place it in a basket that is wrapped with ropes and adorned with colorful tassels for an added pop of vibrancy. I would then move the basket onto a small table to give it some height. After that, I can start decorating the tree.

 

Hessian sack

The hessian sack is a great option for a tree that is exposed from all sides. To determine the size needed, measure the length and height required to cover the tree base. Double the height measurement and add an additional 10cm to account for folding. Cut the hessian accordingly.

 

Next, fold the hessian in half horizontally and staple along the top where the edges meet. Fold the stapled edge over twice to conceal the staples.

Now comes the tricky part – folding the hessian around the tree. Once you have accomplished this, take the two ends and fold them inward to create a seamless join. To ensure the join is secure, use a hot glue gun.

Bucket case

First, locate the midpoint between the basket’s two handles and use sturdy scissors to cut down the basket, all the way to the base. Take note, if your basket has wire in it, you’ll need wire cutters instead.

Once that’s done, carefully remove the base, leaving approximately a 3cm allowance from the edge. This way, when you wrap the basket around the tree, it will still appear as if the base is intact.

Now, you should have a long strip of basket material. Depending on the size of the basket, attach two or three pieces of string to each side of the basket. This will allow you to tie the basket together securely.

With this fantastic trick, you can easily transform the appearance of your trees and keep the backs hidden from view!
