Deco Mesh Christmas Tree

In no time at all you can make a tomato cage Christmas tree like this! It all started when I found a roll of deco mesh at a bargain store for $2.99

But I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. Got a tomato cage, some garland and mini lights....

and started wrapping the tomato cage with the lights securing with twist ties. Then, as I unrolled the mesh, I gathered it into loose bunches and twist tied it to the cage.

Wrapped the garland around in between the rows of mesh

and then added decorations. Actually I just added another garland complete with pine cones and frosted boughs. (Got that at the dollar store!)

Karma thinks it's pretty cute!

Standing the tree in this tall planter was a bit of a challenge, but I finally got the idea to use an old paint pail upside down inside the planter. Then put bungee cords around the bottom of the pail and hooked them up onto the largest ring of the tomato cage to keep it stable. Wrapped black landscaping material around the base of the tree and voilà!
