We posted a new DIY idea on the front page, and I wanted to tell you exactly how easy this “DIY” is. I’m saying “DIY” because there’s really not much for yourself to do except
- Open the box
- Remove the tree
- Add the ornaments to it
- Impress friends, mothers-in-law, etc.
Before I go any further, here’s a picture of the finished product:
Pretty cool, right? Since I promised 4 steps, I’m going to do a photo gallery of them, just to prove it to you. So here goes.
Step 1: Open the box
Everything you need is in the box, including the cleverly folded tree, and is packed nicely in styrofoam (it’s a great place to store the tree when you’re not using it as an aside).
One Tree in a box!
Step 2: Remove the tree
As soon as you take the tree out, it will literally start setting itself up. Most of the branches will unfold by themselves. Gently extend the branches that haven’t unfolded already, and your tree will be ready for decorations.
Stand and unfold yourself, Christmas tree! Where else can you get Hamlet and Christmas trees all in one place?
Step 3: Add the ornaments to it
You get 12 ornaments. For the price of the tree, $39.95, the 12 ornaments you get is a steal. The tree is a bonus. Even if you never open the tree or do anything with it, you get 12 great ornaments for any purpose you want. Here’s what our faithful tree looks like all decked out.
All decked out!
Step 4: Impress friends, mothers-in-law, etc.
For the finale, find a window, counter, table, desk, or anywhere a tree like this could sit and impress your friends and family. Since everyone was busy at the store, I was left to impress myself. I was pretty taken aback by what I had made.
That’s all there is to it. You can grab one of these for $39.95 plus tax (where applicable) and shipping. It’s simple to do, and you can still order it with plenty of time to display it before the big day.
See you around the store!
