Christmas season isn’t that far, most of us will decorate our Christmas trees beforehand to create that unique atmosphere and mood. Everybody’s thinking about decorating and ornaments but don’t forget to hide the tree base itself, which is often ugly. A tree skirt might help but what if it doesn’t fit your style? Make a box or a crate! Here are some DIYs to try.
This tutorial is pretty easy but it requires very specific assembly. If you are interested in making these for outside, remember to use exterior wood. You could use these also inside for potted plants (just slip the pot inside) or other artificial topiaries. You could also add small casters to the legs making them easy to move around. I love the bold traditional Christmas red color, though if you don’t like it, go something different.

A tree box is great as it would make the tree sit up a little higher and it would better hide our unappealing stand. If you feel like rustic appearance, this is an ideal box for you: it looks weathered, it’s placed on casters and is decorated with a cute snowflake. For more practical reasons it could be really helpful to have the tree on wheels when you are decorating so you can roll it out away from the wall to easily decorate all sides. Read the tutorial and make the piece!
