Make a Hidden Christmas Tree Watering System

Step 7 Put the Lid on the Box and Enjoy!

Now that you have everything working, the only thing left is to put the lid back on the box. You'll also need to rearrange any presents you moved while you were setting this up. If done properly, no one should be able to tell that there is a bucket of water under your Christmas tree nor a tube running from the decorative box to the Christmas tree stand's reservoir.

You'll want to check the system occasionally to make sure that it continues working properly for you. You may want to make a small mark on the side of the bucket each day so you can tell how much water your tree is consuming each day and you can determine how often you need to refill.

If your bucket is taller than your tree stand, it's also a good idea to make a mark on the side for maximum fill level, just to keep you from accidentally overflowing the tree stand.
