10 Ways to Use Tomato Cages to Make Christmas Trees

If you are looking for simple DIY Christmas decorations, check out this collection of Tomato Cage Trees, plus a few other ideas for turning a basic gardening implement into holiday decor.

Grapevine Tomato Cage Tree

This first one is mine. We made these years ago after trimming our grapevines. Within a day of trimming the vines, wrap them around an inverted tomato cage, hold the vines in place with twist ties or twine until they dry out and hold in place.

Then wrap with lights... lots and lots of lights, if you are my husband. We have used these several years in the rain and they have held up nicely.
