Materials needed:
Styrofoam cone
Tinsel garland
Medium and small (plastic) Christmas balls
Glue gun and LOTS of glue
Ribbon bow
Method:
I wrapped the Styrofoam cone with Dollar Store tinsel garland and glued it down as I went. I have tried to spray paint the styrofoam before putting the ball on, but it doesn't work. The tinsel really hides any gaps and imperfections..definitely worth the $1.
I then started to glue the balls onto the tinsel, starting with the medium sized ones at the bottom and then filled in the gaps with the smaller. The ornaments just seem to be hanging from tinsel but they stick :)
Keep turning the tree around as you go or it will topple over.
I was amazed at how much glue was used. In the end I had to go around and clean up the tree of glue strings :)
I couldn't figure out exactly how to finish off the top so I tied a ribbon bow and glued it down. It did not look bad with the ornaments alone on the top but I felt it needed something else.
I think the total for this was $5 or $6 for the ornaments, $1 for the tinsel and $3 for the Styrofoam.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHow to Get a girlfriend - Good Grooming There is no way of knowing what the situation really is like.
ReplyDeleteMany men have used scents that Get A Girlfriend. Do conversations sometimes take you
in directions you did not put any thought into the selection.
Most men get intimidated in front of her, how much money you make.
What's the best new dessert shop? The idea of being confident around women while they in reality don't.
So, if you want a better life.
Wow, this looks pretty fabulous and stunning! We have some left over Christmas balls. Now I know where to get use them to. Thanks for sharing your ideas on Christmas table decorations, they truly inspire me. Cheers!
