Christmas tree collars are covers that conceal the base of your Christmas tree stand, offering a modern alternative to traditional tree skirts. Tree collars can be made from wood, metal, or fabric, and the intent is to enhance your Christmas tree while complementing the theme of your Christmas decorations, creating a polished and elegant feel to you Christmas display.
The Christmas tree skirt dates to the 19th century and was originally used to catch wax drippings from Christmas trees decorated with open-flame candles. Over time, they evolved into decorative fabric pieces, enhancing the look of the Christmas tree in a home while hiding unsightly tree stands. Today, they can come in various styles, perfect for Christmas themes like classic Christmas, winter wonderland, rustic natural Aussie or a traditional look.
Tree collars are a stylish way to decorate your Christmas tree, offering a fresh look as well as a simple and easy way to modernize the look and feel of your decorated Christmas tree. Basically, they help hide the stand required for a fresh tree or the feet on an artificial tree, creating a clean and polished look around the base. They're quick and easy to prepare, saving you critical time at such a busy time of year. Affordable with any budget, they're a must-have for every Aussie Christmas day. Available in all Christmas Warehouse stores as well as online, these collars offer a hassle-free way to elevate your tree's appearance while keeping the base neat.
A collar can come in many shapes including conical frustum (truncated cone) shapes, and dodecagon frustum (12-sided truncated cone). This design enables you to neatly hide your stand while enhancing the appearance of your Christmas tree decorating. To make the frustum object shape, you simply cut an upside-down cone in half with the top becoming a smaller cone and the bottom becomes the frustum. The smooth tapering conical shape offers a sleek, modern look, perfect for today's decorator. A frustum shape also features a wider base which is great for stability. To install a tree collar, you will either simply detach and slide the collar around the base before placing your tree or place your tree in the collar opening. Many of the detachable designs are easy to prepare, featuring hinged panels or interlocking pieces.
Choosing the right Christmas tree collar will depend on what Christmas theme or colours you have now or that which you are trying to achieve. For example, for a winter wonderland you would go with white or silver. A rustic and natural or Aussie Christmas theme look suits wooden or bronze and red colour tones. Black or gold adds elegance, while red, green and gold for that traditional Christmas look. Christmas Warehouse has an expansive selection guaranteeing one will be available to match your style.
