Wire Tomato Cage Christmas Tree

Super quick and easy Christmas decor, oh ya did I mention the 'cheap' factor?
All I did was wrap strands of lights around a wire tomato cage bottom to top.
I picked up tomato cages from the local nursery, I only paid around $2.50 each. (beautiful black jungle feline not included)
As I started wrapping the tree in lights, I found that it was turning out to be a bit
on the triangle side.
Didn't like it. My solution...
I took some of my green floral wire and wrapped it around the horizontal wires on the cage. This helped the lights to go around in a circle rather than taking a triangle shape.
Next step...LIGHTS! woot-woot!
I picked up Christmas lights from Walgreen's
(they have them on a buy 2 get one free sale, nice right?)
For this tree I used 5 strands of 100 lights each.
I LOVE the final result!
