The crafts expert showed her followers how to easily upgrade their Christmas tree.
In her video, Emma Villaneda (@thecraftedstudioco) told viewers: “I’ve got to share this hack with you.”
She revealed that Dollar Tree has 4-foot Christmas trees available for $5.
The next item on her list was less expected when it comes to festive decorations.
“Here’s the secret, you need a large bucket,” Emma explained to her audience.
She continued: “I went ahead and set the tree up. I’m putting this along the wall so I pushed all the branches forward to make it look fuller.”
For her next step, Emma transformed the $1.25 bucket into a Christmas tree accessory.
“I’m cutting the handles off and then cutting a circle out of the bottom,” she explained.
As she demonstrated the DIY trick, Emma said: “Now you can see where I going with this, we are making a DIY tree collar out of a bucket.”
She explained that she really wanted a gold collar so she used a can of $2.50 spray paint from Walmart to upgrade the black bucket.
“I slid the tree through the hole I cut and reattached the legs,” Emma said.
For her final step, she added some picks throughout the branches and it was ready to decorate.
Emma concluded: “I love this hack for a DIY tree collar, it is a simple way to upgrade this Dollar Tree Christmas tree.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the hack.
“I absolutely love this. I already bought the 4-foot tree but didn’t know what to do. I’ll be back to the store to get the extra stuff,” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “It makes it look so much more luxurious! The gold was a great touch.”
“Thank you I bought that tree but was thinking about what kind of skirt, I’m doing that now, it’s amazing,” commented a third person.
