How to Make Inexpensive Indoor/Outdoor Topiary Trees (Tomato Cage & Garland)
Select images below for close-up details of each step

Materials Used:

• 1 Tomato Cage (size of your choice)
• 5 Nine Foot Bundles of Garland (9' bundles at Walmart: $2 each!)
• 1 Box of 100 Lights
• 1 Planter Box or Bucket (that the large end of your cage will fit nicely on or in)
• Clear or Dark Color Zip Ties
• Wire Cutters
  
• Rocks/Bricks/Heavy Smaller Objects (to weight down if placing outdoors)
  

Directions:

1. Begin by placing your tomato cage atop your planter; the largest opening in on the base
2. I secured it to the bucket by zip-tying the wire down
3. Next, place a couple objects in the bucket to weigh it down, if you will be placing this outdoors
4. Carefully bend the top prongs of the wire cage into one another, forming your ideal tree shape
5. Using wire-cutters, snip the excess metal from the top metal prongs to better form the top of the tree
6. Begin stringing the garland at the base. I had to secure the garland to the base of the wire with a couple more zip-ties to ensure it stays in place.
7. Continue covering until all garland bundles are used, securing each bundle to the wire with the hook end
8. Cover the garland with your lights, and Voila!
