I was getting my Christmas decorations out and ran across this cute little tree that my daughter made in our homeschool co-op....years ago...I love this little tree...and it is so easy and fun to do with kids.
First you'll need a 6" tall Styrofoam cone, a new spool of thread....
(cheap, dollar store kind)
Hot glue the spool of thread in the middle of the bottom of the cone...
make sure it stands up good...
You'll also need a piece of green felt....or whatever color you chose.
Ours is glittery on the right side.
Your piece of felt need to be cut in a semi triangular shape....and from the point to the bottom it needs to be about 8 3/4" tall....
From side to side, from each bottom peak it is approx. 12" wide or a little more...to give you
some overlap.
You can decorate it anyway you like....but this is done by first hot gluing your ribbon on...(garland) which in this case is a measuring tape look....they were going with a sewing theme, can you tell? :-) Make sure you wrap it around the back side a little, so there are no raw edges showing...
Next you can sew buttons and beads on....or hot glue little applique things on. Don't forget some kind of star or bow on top.
I would love to see a picture of yours if you make one....just send it to valsing65@gmail.com
I'm even getting inspired to make a white and blue one for my piano; to go with my snowman collection...or you could do a sports theme...
