DIY Tomato Cage Christmas Tree

You’ll never guess what I made this Christmas tree out of…

A tomato cage, mini-white Christmas lights and a hair band is all that it took to create this festive Christmas tree.

I brought out my tomato cages and grabbed some Christmas lights and took the hair band out of my hair 😉

I used the hair band to wrap the top of the tomato cage.  Then all I had to do was to begin wrapping lights around the cage, starting from the bottom.  

This is what it look like when I was finished.

I decided to use them in my vegetable gardens since I can see them from the house.

My son, Kai, had fun helping me get all the lights up and connected.

Before we connected the lights, Kai said “This is like the movie Christmas Vacation just before the plug in the lights.”

I must say that I am so happy with how they look.

I liked it so much that I did the same thing in my other vegetable garden…
