  • This quick tutorial will show you step by step how to easily transform a cardboard box into a decorative Christmas tree collar for your Christmas tree! I'll show you how to use drybrush techniques to create a distressed wood looking finish that adds a cozy textured look! This DIY Christmas decoration is an easy holiday craft idea that is not only a great way to recycle old cardboard boxes, it uses inexpensive materials! Change the look to fit your style by choosing different colored chalk paint or creating a different cardboard design on the box! Drybrush with gold or silver paint instead to create a metallic finish!

    Did anyone else notice where he was doing this? On that beautiful dining room table with nothing to catch the drops of paint that never spilled! Christopher I don't know how that table stays that beautiful when it seems to be your favorite work space🙃

      Thank you! I had a box and needed something to go around the dining room Christmas tree - last year I used an old wooden crate but this year it is being used elsewhere in the house so I decided to make this :)

    Who would have EVER thought of making a base container for a Christmas tree out of a cardboard shipping box ? Oh yeah, Christopher, the same guy who made a Halloween decoration out of an industrial floor rug he found at Menard’s. You never cease to amaze me and I mean that in very complimentary terms. 🤩
