Christmas Trend: Trees In A Basket

Christmas Tree In Basket from shopterrain

A few years ago I began to see a new trend in how Christmas trees were decorated.  Gone were fabric tree skirts and in came baskets.

It took me a year or two to jump on the bandwagon but after realizing how easy it was to set-up a tree in a basket and how a basket added to the style of a tree, I was on board.

The Christmas tree in a basket trend has grown and companies have even begun to make baskets specifically for Christmas trees.

What I love most about using a basket instead of a traditional tree skirt is the texture a basket adds and that you can use a basket style that fits the theme of your tree.

Straw baskets aren’t your only option to use as an alternative tree skirt.  A metal bucket, wire basket, galvanized pail or even a piece of luggage can hold your Christmas tree.

This year I found a black basket at Marshalls that works perfectly with the color theme of my tree.

If you want to give the basket tree skirt trend a try this year, here are a few tips to make the basket work with your tree:

1)  Use a basket with a flat bottom, the diameter or size of your tree stand so that none of your tree stand is exposed

2) If you’re using a basket that is a bit smaller than your tree stand, you can cut openings in the basket for the legs of the stand to fit through

3)  If you’re using a basket that is tapered in shape, you can cut the bottom off the basket so the basket fits completely over the tree stand

4) Another option is to mount your tree in a container with concrete and then place the container into your decorative pot

So what you do think about the trend of baskets and containers as tree skirts?  Yay or Nay?
