Christmas Tree on a Drum
A round box—wood, metal, or plastic—can become a stunning, reusable tree stand cover. Just paint it with a zigzag pattern and add your favorite decorations. Try a decorative cord or top it with cotton or pillow stuffing for a snowy touch.
In a Basket
A woven basket looks fantastic in minimalist, Scandinavian, or even vibrant Christmas settings like this one. It’s perfect for potted trees and beyond. You can find similar baskets at most home decor stores, and after the holidays, use it to store toys, blankets, or even as a flower pot holder.
Hidden in a Fabric Sack
This works beautifully with artificial, real, or balled-and-burlapped trees. You’ll need a round canvas storage sack—an affordable option you can use year-round in any room.
Casually Covered with a Throw
The simplest trick: drape a throw over the tree stand. Spread it out to fit gifts on top or scrunch it up for a cozy look. Swap the throw for a faux fur rug for an even more magical vibe.
Wrapped in Paper
Paper bags make a charming cover for smaller trees. If you choose a live tree, tuck a pot inside for safety. Decorate as you like—this look pairs perfectly with natural, minimalist styles.
Classic Tree Skirt
Available in many stores or handmade if you love sewing, tree skirts suit any fabric and offer a practical, customizable solution. We adore this natural, ruffled style, but for extra flair, try making one from tulle.
Round Tree Cover
Woven, metal, and similar tree stand covers are easy to find but usually pricier than skirts. Still, they’re stunning and durable, making any choice a long-lasting investment.
Christmas Village
Take your round tree skirt up a notch by surrounding the tree with string lights and small cardboard or wooden houses. This creates a magical winter village right under your tree.
Placed in a Vase
If you have a large vase and want to decorate a live tree, you can place the tree inside it. This method suits minimalist styles best—and a bit of luck to get the size just right.
Hidden with Giant Ornaments
For something bold, decorate large styrofoam balls or spheres like oversized ornaments. Let your imagination run wild and mix different sizes for a playful, eye-catching display.
