Mini Christmas Tree Cone Tutorial

I am helping dress up tables for a function in our church in just over a week. I had this idea of cone christmas trees on the table made from christmas balls.. well I have searched the internet and just couldnt find what I was looking for so I came up with this idea myself.

I was looking for the large poly cones but couldnt find them anywhere, all I could find was these mini 3" - 4" long ones.... so the below tutorial is what I came up with..

Very simple

Very effective

The finished tree

You will need 

a box of mini Christmas ball

a box of the next size up balls

a mini poly cone - approx 4" high

tinsel to match the balls

glue

Glue is a spiral around the cone

I use quick drying craft glue or you could use a glue gun

Do you like my cappacino?

Now put the tinsel on the tree by folllowing where you have glued in a spiral

Now cut the threads off the balls, add some glue and glue the balls in place 

all over the tree

For the top of the tree I used the next sized up ball

I cut the thread and took off the hanging loop

and glued it to the top

Another idea I had was to make a handmade white felt star and embroider it with blue glitter thread and add some sequins...  just an idea

Finished...

Enjoy
