In her VideoEmma Villaneda (@thecraftedstudioco) told viewers, “I have to share this trick with you.”
She revealed that Dollar Tree offers 4-foot Christmas trees for $5.
The next item on her list was less expected when it comes to holiday decorations.
“Here’s the secret: you need a big bucket,” Emma told her audience.
She continued: “I put the tree up. I put it against the wall, so I pushed all the branches forward to make it look fuller.”
The next step was for Emma to turn the $1.25 bucket into a Christmas tree accessory.
“I cut off the handles and then cut a circle out of the bottom,” she explained.
While demonstrating the DIY trick, Emma said, “Now you see what I mean: we’re making a DIY tree collar out of a bucket.”
She explained that she really wanted a gold collar, so she used a $2.50 can of spray paint from Walmart to dress up the black bucket.
“I pushed the tree through the hole I cut and reattached the legs,” Emma said.
As a final step, she added a few skewers to the branches and it was ready to decorate.
Emma concluded: “I love this trick for a DIY tree collar. It’s an easy way to upgrade that Dollar Tree Christmas tree.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the hack.
“I absolutely love this. I already purchased the 4 foot tree but didn’t know what to do. I’m going back to the store to get the extra stuff,” one viewer wrote.
Another follower said: “It makes it look much more luxurious! The gold was a great thing.”
“Thanks I bought this tree but I’ve been thinking about what kind of skirt I’m making now it’s great,” a third person commented.
