Step 2: Put Your Tree Collar in Place

Do you use a tree collar or a tree skirt? If you have a live tree I think either works well (although I have had some people tell me it’s harder to water your tree with a collar which makes sense). But if you have a faux tree, I personally think a tree collar is the way to go because it covers the trunk of the tree which is the part of faux trees that I think looks the most faux.

The tree collars I’ve used include a white rope tree collar similar to {this one},

a hammered silver tree collar that I found at HomeGoods many years ago ({this tree collar} is very similar),

and a natural woven collar similar to {this one}:

Gorgeous Christmas tree collar - love the idea of using this instead of a skirt!

When shopping for a tree collar just make sure it has a big enough diameter to accommodate your tree stand. You absolutely want to put your tree stand in your tree collar at the beginning of the decorating process before you do anything else! It will be near to impossible to get it over your tree stand once you have your tree in it!
