Making Homemade Christmas
Tree Stands - Step By Step
There is not enough reason why one should not
come up with homemade Christmas tree stands. If one has the time and resources,
it is easy to come up with these things, and they can even be given to neighbors
and friends for added Christmas cheer. Here is a simple way to make a Christmas
tree stand at home.
1. Make a square frame using four boards of equal length. The recommended sizes
are 14 to 18 inches long. The boards should stand on their sides. A double frame
might be necessary for larger holiday trees.
2. Cut four legs for the four corners of the stand. They should be tall enough
for a bowl or pot of water to be placed between them. This will serve as the
water source for the tree. The frame is painted and designed according to one's
preference.
3. An eye bolt is screwed into each side of the square frame where a hole is
drilled. These bolts are going to help secure the tree. The bowl or pot of water
can be attached to the stand with the use of screws. It can also be placed
sitting on the ground under the stand. However, one should make sure that the
tree's trunk gets deep enough into the pot for it to freely access the water
supply.
4. The pot or bowl of water is placed on the part of the house where the tree is
going to be. The tree is then placed into the stand and down to the pot of
water. Once the tree is in place, the eye bolts are tightened to secure the
tree.
In just four simple steps, homemade Christmas tree stands are created. It helps
to have some help around in doing this though especially when setting up the
tree since the tree might move around while the bolts are being fastened.
