Outdoor Christmas trees -- real or artificial -- are popular decorations for front entryways, porches, patios and decks. They don't have to be expensive. Take this faux-snow Christmas tree made from a recycled / repurposed wire garden tomato support cage. Garland and ornaments cost under $20, and it will last for years if packed and stored carefully along with your other holiday decorations.

Your tree can be any color in which garland is available, and you can add ornaments, decorations and lights that appeal to you and your personal style. Follow along as we make a DIY tomato cage Christmas tree.
