Tomato Cage Christmas Card Display

Super EASY holiday craft. I saw this idea in a magazine and stored it away in my brain until I had time to do it. I don't remember exactly how it looked in the mag. but I added some of my own personal touch and wa-lah! Very fun.

Materials needed:
Tomato cage
green fabric
yellow felt
rubber band
Christmas lights (optional)


Steps:
1. clean tomato cage and turn it upside down
2. Use rubber band to pull 3 prongs together
3. string tomato cage with lights (this was not in the original that I saw, but I thought it was a really fun addition!)
4. Measure distance from top of prong to first circular rung. (Mine was 13")
5. Cut a half circle out of green fabric. Use a focal point and draw the circle at 14" (I wish I could show you this but oh well...)
6. Pull material together in order to form a cone and pin at appropriate point
7. Sew together and now you should have a cone. Place on top of tomato cage
8. Cut a star out of felt and stick onto cone
9. Use paper clips, office clips, or clothes pins to attach Christmas cards that you receive.

I am SO excited about this craft. I can't wait to start getting some Christmas cards to fill it up!
