I have been making obelisk plant climbers for a couple of years now and they are very popular with gardeners because of their multiple use, as a "tree" decoration in the house, then after the midwinter festivities are over, as a plant support in the garden.
Grow your green beans up it, use as a centrepiece in the garden, or put it over a large pot on the patio and have a vertical garden right outside your window with a bird feeder hanging in the top.
It will last three or four years, unlike the christmas tree which has long since gone to landfill or been burnt.
Just take off the baubles in the spring, bend a couple of coathanger wire into u shapes and use them to anchor the plant support into the ground in the garden, or secure the base round a large plantpot with twine. Hopefully the green willow will have dried out enough for it not to take root in the garden, if it does just gently pull it up, and shave the bark off the offending whip.
