Servings 1 tree
Equipment
- 1 hot glue gun
Ingredients
- 1 5" foam cones located in the floral area at major retailers
- 1 green yarn
- 1 small wooden stars
- 1 yellow spray paint or yellow acrylic paint
- 1 small paint brush if using the acrylic paint
- 1 buttons in a variety of colors shapes and sizes
Instructions
- Apply a small dollop of hot glue on the bottom of one of the foam cones.
- Place one end of the yarn on the hot glue and then gently wrap it around the cone all the way to the top.
- Once you get to the top, simply wrap the yarn all the way back down to the bottom filling in any gaps you see.
- Once the yarn is wrapped top to bottom, place another small dollop of hot glue at the base to hold the yarn and snip the excess.
- Paint your small wooden stars yellow and allow them to dry a few hours.
- Once they are dry, gently stick them into the top of the foam cone.
- Take a small strand of excess yarn and gently wrap it around the star to hide the green foam and use the hot glue to hold in place.
- Give each button a small dollop of hot glue and place on the tree. I like a variety of sizes and colors, have fun with it!
- Repeat with the desired amount of cones.
- *The foam cones come in a variety of sizes so have fun with it and make a few different size trees!
Notes
Please note that this set of instructions is to make 1 tree - but the amount of trees you make depends on the amount of cones you bought! You should easily be able to make 2-5 Christmas trees if you buy one of those bags of assorted sized cones.
