\"If)<\/p>\n

If you have an artificial Christmas tree without a fake tree trunk cover for the bottom we’ve got a quick inexpensive fix! We even have a printable version! Our tree is a few years old and the plastic trunk piece was lost in various moves. It was a beautiful 6 foot tree that had a spindly little pole at the base. We’ve covered it with greenery in the past but wanted a more realistic look and came up with this easy idea that didn’t require us to buy a thing! Check out the details below and if you’re interested in more creative unique holiday ideas check out our Christmas Category<\/a>! You’ll find thing such as our A Christmas Spider DIY ,<\/a>or a Cute Super Easy 20 Minute Wooden Snowman. <\/a>There’s simple DIY decor, last-minute ideas and lots more!<\/p>\n

        Instructions<\/h2>\n

        Our tree was missing the plastic trunk piece so it looked a bit spindly on the bottom!\"If<\/p>\n

        If using bark-covered contact paper you can skip some of these parts. Gather your tools.\u00a0 If you want a bigger circumference trunk you will need to print two and tape them together.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        You’ll need velcro to attach the trunk. If using the printed version clear contact paper or laminating sheets make it last longer.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        Measure the height you need, giving yourself a little extra. \"If<\/p>\n

        Measure around the circumference making it the size you need.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        If using the printed version, covering it with clear contact paper or laminate will make it last longer. If using contact paper, stick it onto posterboard for sturdiness.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        \"If<\/p>\n

        Cut your contact paper to size or trim the printable.\u00a0 Again, for Contact Paper, stick it onto poster board before cutting to size.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        Add velcro to the edges of the trunk to hold it in place.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        Roll the trunk tightly and hold for a few minutes to give it shape.
        \n\"If<\/p>\n

        Wrap the trunk around the base of your tree adjusting if needed. You may want to clip up around the bottom for a better fit then put your tree skirt over it. Much better!
