A lot of us love the Christmas season. It's a time to get together with friends and family, celebrate, and indulge in some of our favourite holiday traditions.
However, for some people – especially those living in smaller houses or apartments – the holiday season can be a stressful time as they try to find enough storage space for all their Christmas decor.
After all, there's only so much room you can make when you don't have an entire spare room (or garage) to store your decorations! And let's not even get started on trying to find places to put the tree...
If this describes your yearly struggle, we may have found the solution for you. An Australian woman named Michelle has come up with an ingeniously simple way to save space when it comes to putting up your Christmas tree – and it looks amazing!
Michelle took to Instagram to share her amazing festive hack on her account called ‘Look What I Found’, where she regularly features interesting products.

First, she wrapped the Kmart tinsel around the cones, tying the edges with the garden wire as she went. She also made sure to have the battery component at ground level!
Once she had the cone completely covered in tinsel, she then worked on the pots.
Getting some old ones from her garden, she then proceeded to paint the pots white.
She then placed the tinsel in the pot and turned the batteries on.
Lastly, she placed the neat-looking ‘tinsel tree’ in her entryway — and the whole thing looks amazing!
Unsurprisingly, Michelle’s video had many users singing praises about her ‘tinsel tree’ hack!
‘Love this!’ one user said, ‘You inspired me to do the same!’
‘Perfect for my classroom,' another user thought.
And one user thought it was the perfect pet-proof hack: ‘Maybe this can be our Christmas tree this year?’ They commented, tagging a loved one and adding ‘Puppy safe!’
On the topic of items from Bunnings — they released 200 new products for this year’s holiday season, so you might want to take a look while you think about how to decorate your home!
Though, you might also be thinking it’s still too early to put up anything Christmas-related like these people.
