"Coming up with new ways of styling Christmas decor can feel like reinventing the wheel every year. Hasn't everything already been done? I was guilty of thinking that until I discovered how someone put the trash-to-treasure method to work as her Christmas tree stand, and it might just be the most interesting Christmas DIY you'll see this season. Natalie Kolter from Vintage Porch partnered with Balsam Hill for a recent post,"
"In the video, Natalie admitted that the stand that comes with a pre-lit tree from Balsam Hill wasn't going to cut it - luckily she had a solution waiting in the wings. "Omg - brilliant - and so much taller," one person commented on Natalie's post. Another person added, "Ooooh the height would be really helpful for people with toddlers too!""
A DIY repurposes a dining table pedestal base as a stand for a faux pre-lit Christmas tree, replacing the generic manufacturer stand. The pedestal base increases vertical height, lends a rustic aesthetic, and creates ample space beneath branches for stacked presents. Such bases are commonly found at thrift stores and must be sturdy with an easily removable tabletop and a top opening large enough for the tree stem. Measure the stem circumference to ensure fit, and optionally paint or stain the base to match decor. The raised placement improves sightlines and can keep ornaments farther from toddlers while upcycling a damaged table.
