    DIY Christmas Tree Stand Ideas to Dress up Your Family's Evergreen

    Though your Christmas tree may be one of your most cherished Christmas traditions, tree stands can sometimes get last billing when it comes to your holiday decor. But we've got some ideas to pretty things up. While you can always opt for a classic tree skirt, you also might enjoy making your own DIY Christmas tree stand with a few basic supplies. You can also opt to put the finishing touches on both live or artificial trees with tree "collars" that slip around your existing stand, or tree boxes, which camouflage the stand and also may provide support. Just be sure to measure your existing tree stand at its widest points so you can ensure that whichever cover you build will accommodate your stand's shape. If you're going to make holiday cookies, why not make a tree stand too?

    But just case you’re not feeling the crafting bug this Christmas, we've included a few tree stand covers you can purchase right now to dress your tree elegantly from top to bottom. After all, decorating your tree but ignoring how the tree stand looks is like dressing up in a ball gown and then putting on old sneakers! Here are a few of the best Christmas tree stand ideas and covers out there to provide the finishing touch to any holiday display.
