You will need:
Tomato Cages (1 cage per tree)
Fresh Cedar Roping or Pine Garland (homemade or Tree Farm bought)
Florist Wire
Christmas Tree light strand (maybe an extension cord to reach your outdoor outlet)

Step#1:  Turn the tomato cage upside down so that the circle is on the ground or at the bottom (see picture below)

Step#2:  Start at the bottom of the cage (the largest circle) and attach the garland with pieces of florist wire (wrap around until tight).  Keep on placing the garland around the outside of the cage until you reach the top of the cage (also, every 6 inches or so - secure the garland to the cage with another piece of florist wire).  Secure the pointed ends of the cage together with wire (kind of like a Tipi top) and then cut your garland at the top (see picture below)

  1. I saw one of these somewhere and I really wanted to make one because I have the perfect spot for one but I wasn't sure how to do it. Great easy instructions and very cute! Thank you for sharing on the Four Seasons Blog Hop.
