You can buy virtually anything you might want to transform your home and property into a place of holiday splendor. But this is a time of family togetherness, so why not consider a few DIY projects you can do with the kids? This example from Home Depot will help you create some lighted tree cut-outs – or candy canes, giant cookies, wreaths, or other holiday symbols for that matter. But you’ll need to make one important change if you want to place the trees on your artificial grass.
Instead of attaching your trees to stakes, give them feet. They can be X-shaped (like Christmas tree lots often use), or an L or T shape. You can use this simple trick to stand any flat figures on your fake grass without damaging it. Place a sandbag, concrete block, or container of water over the feet for extra stability. Or attach a small box to the back at the bottom and fill it with rocks. And for a fun design variation, try covering your cut-outs with fake grass instead of painting them.
Inexpensive synthetic turf is fine for projects like these, rather than the prime quality products you would choose for your lawn or backyard putting green. You should be able to find cheap fake grass at a box store.
