I set out without a plan on how to make these pretty trees and was going on inspiration alone (from ones I had seen at Target and one that a friend has that I adore.) No picture and no plan = frustration. However, it did come together in the end and now I love them!

Materials Needed:
Styrofoam Cone (I used a large and medium sized cone - from JoAnn Fabrics)
Paint (Anything metallic, I used silver for one and metallic pearl for the other)
Brushes
Glue
Glitter
Yarn (I used some I had on hand, a thick, soft deep red. Something with a sparkle to it would be nice too.)
Stick Pins


I had a little elf join me. Don't you love him? I do.

Step 1 | Paint the styrofoam tree. I just worked in sections, squeezing paint directly onto the styrofoam and then brushing the paint over to cover the surface.


Step 2 | Spiral glue down the tree.



And you have yourself an adorable little centerpiece!

Give it a try and let me know how yours turns out.
Yes, that is very cute!
