Cute Christmas Trees
Cute Christmas Trees
- You'll need Styrofoam Cones of any size (These smaller cones came in a 2 pack. Find ON SALE. Could probably use cardboard cones as well)
- Patience is a virtue with this step : ) Wrap the cones in yarn (thicker the better). *Note: You need to Hot Glue the yarn to the cone every once in awhile or it will all unravel. **Wrap it tight so the cone doesn't show through. I did 2 layers of yarn.
- Let the kids run with their imagination. Dig out all your scraps, buttons, brads, puff balls, ribbon, flowers, Christmas decorations etc. My kids decided what, where, when, and how. They pointed and I dabbed the Hot Glue on. I suggest Low Temp Hot Glue, so your finger tips don't peel away... : )
- The hardest part of this project was stepping back and allowing my children to have their own creative control. I stop myself from asking them, "are you sure you want THAT - THERE?" LOL. They definitely represent each of my children! Most importantly they were so proud (and should be) to make a gift, and their Grandparents LOVE them! Enjoy! CKS
