Step 1: Building the base
You're going to use 12 Skewers and Glue them on every 3rd row of the laundry basket!
Either color will work because we'll be coving this in tinsel!
Assorted Stacking Plastic Laundry Baskets, 17x11.5 in.
I used the 12 pack from Dollar Tree Originally but they sometimes only have them to purchase in summer. So here is a 100 pack of the same size, that is available year round!

My favorite hot glue gun!

Step 2: Secure the skewers with the topper
Pinch all of the skewers together at the top, add hot glue and then top with your desire tree topper!
This is the exact size I used from DT
Christmas House Mini Tree Topper, 1-ct.
This is a similar size to what I used
AnuirheiH Christmas Tree Topper Star Tree-top Star Christmas Tree Decoration Indoor Party Home Decoration 8X4Inches
This is about double the size of the one I used but I think it would look even more fabulous!

Step 3: Glue on your tinsel
Hot glue your tinsel to laundry basket and skewers as you wrap it around the tree!
This is the fringe tinsel I used to make the 2025 version! (: I used the color Hunter Green
YYCRAFT 6" Wide Tinsel Fringe Tinsel Trim Dance Costume Fringe Trimming 1 Yard
This is the same brand and color (Hunter Green) But it is the 8" version so you may need less of this!
YYCRAFT 8" Tinsel Fringe Trim 5 Yards Green
Same brand but different color and 12 inches long. I think a gold version of my tree would be SHOW STOPPING!
YYCRAFT 12" Tinsel Fringe Trim 5 Yards Gold
Step 4: Add ornaments
Hot glue your ornaments on! You can also use thin metal ornament hooks to hand them on but I'd only recommend that for small ornaments.
I used one pack of these and hung them on with metal ornament hooks!
Christmas House Assorted Plastic Ball Ornaments, 16 ct.
I prefer metal ornament hooks but any will work!
120-Count Silver Jumbo Christmas Ornament Hooks, 2.5", by Holiday Time
These are a great option from Walmart!

Step 5: Add a bow
This part is totally optional but I think it adds sparkle!
Love this Champagne Gold Options!
Ribbli Champagne Gold Glitter Wired Ribbon 1.5in x 10yd
Always need a velvet ribbon option!
Red Velvet Wired Christmas Ribbon, 1.5" x 15', by Holiday Time
This is also velvet but it's not wired, so it would be a little floppy BUT so cute because it would show more of the star!
