The idea of using a lampshade as a tree collar was met with a lot of mixed reviews when I shared this last year. Some people loved it, and some people hated it. I personally love the idea because thinking outside the box and using everyday home decor in different ways can be so much fun.
It's also a great way to save money if you have a lampshade in a closet somewhere (like I did) that you might not be using, or you can easily thrift one for a fraction of the cost of a traditional tree collar.
As you can probably imagine, this hack works best for mini Christmas trees - that is, unless you can find a lampshade large enough to fit around your 6-foot-tall tree.
You can get even more creative with this DIY and cover a basic white thrifted shade with holiday-themed fabric or even paint it!
