Tiered Tomato Cage Christmas Trees

This tutorial shows how to make a tomato Christmas tree. Three different trees using the same sized cage.

A couple years ago I shared how I made my tomato cage Christmas tree. Well this year I decided to take it a step further and make tiered tomato cage Christmas trees using three tomato cages of the same size.

I also wanted to make them easier to anchor into the ground, so I adapted my original version. Think of it as perfecting the art of crafting a tomato cage Christmas tree.

Before I go into the tutorial, let me say that these are ridiculously easy to make and can last years if properly taken care of. Plus, they cost a fraction of what you’d pay to buy them pre-made.

Tomato Cage Christmas Tree Supplies

3 tomato cages of the same size … you can buy a set of 4 heavy-duty cages here
6 strands of 9 foot WIRED, unlit garland (I used 9 ft Holiday Living garland from Lowe’s)
5 strands of 100 lights … found here
3 bows
zip ties … found here

Note: I used 54 inch tall tomato cages.


Trim the Cages

I use unlit garland because should the lights go out, it’s much more of a pain to get the lights to turn back on. If I used unlit garland and use strands of lights on top of the garland, I can easily remove the lights and add new ones.

* The photo above doesn’t show the correct amounts, but I wanted to show the exact products I used for my tomato cage Christmas trees.

Snip the tomato cages to make them into three different sizes. You need to cut all three. Here’s Brad making the middle size tree with heavy-duty pliers.

When you’re done you should have tomato cages like the following:
1- 3 ring, 1- 2 ring, 1- 1 ring

This results in tomato cage Christmas trees that are approximately 50 inches, 36 inches, and 30 inches tall.

Because I’m an awesome blogger, I changed things up and forgot to take a photo so I used my clearly professionally-trained Photoshop skills to create the smallest tree on the right side.

I purposely left the stakes at the bottom of the trees so they can easily be pushed into the ground.

When you’re done creating the tiered trees, use a zip tie to make a point at the top of the trees.

Add Garland to the Cages

Then, it’s time to fluff your garland. Going from this:

To this:

I’m going to show you have to attach the garland to the largest tomato cage Christmas tree. You do the same thing for the other trees, you’ll just use less garland. I’ll tell you how much garland and lights I used on both trees later on.

The garland I purchased came with this great wire on both ends so I just wrapped it onto the cage.

Now, wrap the garland around the cage and secure it with the wire on the opposite end.

I didn’t feel the need to secure the garland more than that, but if you want, you could use some zip ties to attach it to the cage between the two ends.

Next, add another piece of garland and repeat for the middle section of the tree.

Use one more garland for the top section of the tree.

Add the Lights

Then, it’s time to add the lights. Start at the top with the female plug and work your way down so the male plug is at the bottom.

Top with Bows

To add a festive touch, attach a bow to the top of each tree.

Securing the trees to the ground is very easy if you leave some of the cage, creating legs that could slide into the ground.

Here’s the final product!

Here’s the breakdown for each tomato cage Christmas tree:

Big tree: 3 strands of garland, 2 strands of 100 lights

Middle tree: 2 strands of garland, 2 strands of 100 lights

Little tree: 1 strand of garland, 1 strand of 100 lights

    I have to say these are BEAUTIFUL! I was reading the Dec. 2014 Better Homes & Gardens and they did the tomato cage tree too. I don’t want to sound mean but theirs looked awful – I was thinking “why would I want a droopy dead looking tree like that”!! I am so glad I saw your post you created them so pretty that now I want to try this! (BHG should have shown yours IMO) Thanks for the terrific idea!

    When the store start putting up Christmas decorations after Halloween, I don’t think anyone would think you are crazy to light them up before Thanksgiving. Speaking of Halloween, these would be cute with black garland and orange lights.

    These are amazing! I’ve been wanting to buy LOTS of different-sized artificial trees to fill out our bare flower beds during the holiday season but for as many trees as we would need that would be WAY too cost-prohibitive considering how much even a tiny little 2-4 foot tree costs. I’ll make these instead. Thanks for the brilliant idea.

    We’ve also been wanting to get the ones in a planter that you put on each side of an entryway which are also very expensive. These could probably be adapted for that purpose as well if you get some inexpensive but nice-looking planters and find a way to secure the tree into the planter.

      You can put these trees in a planter or pot…just make sure the have soil in them so you can shove the bottom wiires from the cage dow & anchor them….these are beautiful, and I have been making them and using them for years now… I prefer the green garland but I have made them using tinsel garland as well. I once made one for an upscale beauty salon out of pale pink feather boas with a matching wreath . I always anchor my lights to the cage with zip ties or pipe cleaners then put on the garland…the lights poke through and there are no wires showing… This was a wonderful video & clear explanation of how to make this project…so happy to have come across it…thank you Chelsea

    What’s the best way to store these? Unwrap em, throw into a container/bag, nest into one another) How durable are the stakes (can they be bent inward year after year for storage). My mom buys fake flowers throws them in a pot for her planters out front. I bet these would be a great substitute and gift for her (perhaps borrow a few of the flowers to decorate vs bows)

      I wouldn’t take them apart. I plan to put them in large trash bags to store them in our attic. I definitely wouldn’t recommend bending them.

    Theoretically you could use the tomato cages…as tomato cages…in the summer, then wrap them in garland for Christmas, then unwrap them and use them the next summer as tomato cages…Especially since you are attaching the garlands only at the ends. Repeat every year!!!

    Also, if you purchase solar string lights, the trees could be put anywhere on your property I have seen inexpensive solar string lights for sale online for under $20.

    My friends and I made these today for our girls craft day. They were super easy to make and we had a great time. We found out though that we needed more garland then suggested, we had to stop half way and run for more. I’m not sure if it is because we used cheaper garland that wasn’t as full or if we put it on to close together so we didn’t have big holes. They turned out great though and I can’t wait until next weekend so I can light them up!

    I have tried this and after finally being able to cut the cages with bolt cutters, the garland is not looking the same. There is too much space between the rows. I followed the directions you gave and I have zip tied them thinking maybe it was moving around too much without the ties but it doesnt look the same. I am very disappointed. Not sure what I am doing wrong or how to fix without buying more garland.

    We have a huge blue spruce in our front yard, and we’ve always put lights on it. Well, it’s getting too big to do that now, so this will be a PERFECT alternative. These will look great in our front yard! Thanks for the clever idea! Oh….BTW, I’m from Indy also. 🙂

    Oh….and I’m a photographer (2nd career) and LOVED your Photoshop comment. Another clever idea….even if not the best PS work I’ve seen. LOL

    Did you use separate pieces of garland for each “layer” of the tree, or did you use one large continuous piece?

    I made the large tree this week. It turned out really cute ~ though I used 5 of the 9′ garlands to make the one tree. Guess I smushed the wraps together too close. It is a full tree though.

    I also couldn’t get the zip-tie to stay put at the top of the tree. It kept shooting across the room so I improvised and used strips of vinyl leftover from another project.

    I will be making the two smaller trees next year.

    All the tomato cages I have are the same size. How did you get varied sizes of trees?

    HelI have been looking for different paper flower crafts to make so I can put in some vases I have that my son and his family brought me flowers for my birthday and for mother’s day. These look so easy to make, I am going to try them and make a bouquet for one of my vases. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I will let you know how mine turn out.

    to cut the cages with bolt cutters, the garland is not looking the same. There is too much space between the rows. I followed the directions you gave and I have zip tied them thinking maybe it was moving around too much without the ties but it doesnt look the same. I am very disappointed. Not sure what I am doing wrong or how to fix without buying more garland.

    I love my Alexa and my echo I use in my house. I want to give one to my Mom because she’s losing her sight and I think and echo might help her. Can I loads the apps I think she could use like news , trivia using my phone apps then give it to her? My mom doesn’t have a phone because of her vision plus if the family adds the apps or the device she could use her echo. My Mom doesn’t have a computer either but her complex has wi-fi. Can someone help me help my 97 yr old mother. Thank you.Tree Removal Service
