How to Make a DIY Christmas Tree Watering Funnel (It’s So Easy!)
If you have a real Christmas tree, you know what a pain it can be to water it, especially once all the presents start piling up underneath!
My husband and I decided to make a simple Christmas tree watering funnel so we wouldn’t have to keep crawling under the tree or worrying about spilling water everywhere.
The best part? You only need a few supplies, and it takes just a couple of minutes to put together. It’s such an easy little DIY project that makes watering your Christmas tree so much easier!
What You’ll Need
- 1 Screwdriver
- 1 Braided Vinyl Tube (1 1/2-inch inside diameter) – Home Depot
- 1 Hose Clamp – Home Depot
- 1 Funnel – Home Depot
How to Make a Christmas Tree Watering Funnel
Step 1: Slide the hose clamp over one end of the vinyl tube.
Step 2: Insert the narrow end of the funnel into the tube, making sure it fits snugly.
Step 3: Use your screwdriver to tighten the hose clamp around the tube and funnel so everything stays securely in place.
Step 4: Place the other end of the tube into the water reservoir at the bottom of your Christmas tree stand.
Step 5: Slowly pour water into the funnel, and that’s it!
Just make sure the tube stays in the water reservoir and keep an eye on the water level so you don’t overfill the stand.
