    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.

     

    Honeysuckle Branch Tomato Cage Tree

    Grapevines aren't the only branches you can use. Scavenger Chic uses honeysuckle branches.

    You could also use trimmings from pine or fir trees like like this one on Home Talk.

    I also have two evergreen topiaries on either side of my porch similar to these made by Gluesticks blog.

    Create a stunning evergreen tree topiary out of garland and tomato cages! They are perfect for porch displays this Christmas.

    Deco Mesh Tomato Cage Christmas Trees

    Just wrap the cages with deco mesh and add some decorations and lights like Sow and Dippity.

    Other Tomato Cage Christmas Decorations

    No need to limit yourself to trees, you could also use tomato cages to create angels, snowmen or Santas.

    Lighted Tomato Cage Angel

    I am not sure how well the feathers will hold up in rain and snow, but this one on HomeTalk could be really pretty on my covered porch.

    Deco Mesh Tomato Cage Snowman

    There are no instructions on HomeTalk for this one, but you should be able to figure it out from the photo. I'd consider using a paper lantern or maybe a globe light cover.

      Genius idea! I have a couple of these laying around from trees that have outgrown them and I love the honeysuckle idea!

      Lots cute ideas! I had made some mini trees using pre-lit garland but they only lasted a few years before my tomato cage broke. I've been looking for some other ideas. Pinned.
