Gathering the Materials

Before you embark on this exciting DIY adventure, you need to gather some materials to create your Christmas tree teepee.

While not perfect, the following list of items should be good enough to get you started:

• Christmas Tree: choose a tree of a good size for your teepee

• Wooden Poles: for the the structure of your teepee

• Garlands and Ornaments: you want to decorate your tree right?

• Lights: good lighting always looks great

• DIY Supplies: scissors, strings, hooks, etc

• Optional: personalized ornaments, ribbons and a tree topper

Step-by-Step Guide

1) Setting Up the Base

• Choose the best spot in your home or garden where you want to place your Christmas tree tent

• Arrange the wooden poles in a conical shape, leaving an opening for the tree

• Securely tie the poles together at the top and base to form the teepee structure

2) Placing the Christmas Tree

• Put your Christmas tree inside the teepee structure

• Make sure that it stands securely and is centered within the teepee (otherwise it will fall)

3) Decorating It

• Drape garlands around the teepee structure, starting from the top and working your way down (this is the most efficient way to do it)

• Hang ornaments, lights, and other decorations from the garlands and the tree branches

• The accessories need to be in balance so place them carefully

4) Adding A Personal Touch

• This is your chance to customize your Christmas tree tent according to your taste so add personalized ornaments, ribbons, or handmade decorations to it

• BONUS: you can ask your children for their ideas to make it the Christmas tree tent of the family

5) Final Stop: the Lights

• The tree tent won’t be complete until you place lights on it: wrap fairy lights around the structure to create a luminous tree that radiates magic
