This Christmas tree
craft is a classy and contemporary way to decorate your home this
holiday season! These can be whipped up in less than a half
hour,
and the end result is really a simple and classic decoration, that
looks good anywhere. These trees are made by wrapping foam
cones
with ordinary crepe paper, the kind used to decorate for birthday
parties. They can be made to match any decor, in shades of red, blue,
gold, silver, etc. These are great choices to make for Christmas craft
bazaars, since you can buy the foam cones in bulk and one roll of crepe
paper can make several trees.

Things Needed:(If
you have trouble finding certain items at your local craft store, check
out the blue links below... they take you directly to the item product
page for easy shopping!) - 3
foam cones in different sizes (I used a 12 inch, 9 inch, and 6 inch
cone), available at: Jo-Ann.com
- Roll of crepe paper
streamers, in whatever
holiday colors you choose
- Gold sequin stars (the
exact size I used was 17 mm)
- Gold straight pins
- 3
Gold pipe cleaners, available at: Jo-Ann.com
- Scissors
1.
Begin your Christmas tree craft by wrapping each cone with
crepe
paper. Begin at the bottom, and wrap the crepe paper around
the
base twice. Wrapping it twice helps conceal the white foam
underneath. Hold in place with your fingers (or push a
straight
pin in after the first wrap, and then cover the pin when you wrap it
around the second time).
