They really are super easy to make and can be left out all winter since the are a natural color! These would also make great last minute gifts!
Materials Needed:
Foam or Styrofoam cone in the size desired
Sisal rope
Hot glue gun and sticks
Cardstock
Glitter
Directions:
Start at the bottom of your tree and with a small dab of hot glue, stick the end of your sisal rope to the tree. Hold firm until dry. Twist the sisal rope around your tree making sure it is pulled tight. So that you can't see the 'start' of the tree, I overlapped a strand around the start of the rope. Every other strand I would put a small amount of hot glue to hold it in place. Repeat these steps until at the top. Cut the sisal rope and tuck the end into the top peak of the tree. If you don't want to use a star on your tree you are done. If not, make a star on your cardstock and hot glue the whole star area. Sprinkle glitter and let dry. Cut out the star and with small amount of glue stick the one corner of star into the top of the tree.
I told you it was super easy, and they are so cute! I took one home from the party to put in my sunroom to match all my other beach decor!
