Make these fun, mini Christmas trees for pennies. Shop for metallic garland at your local dollar stores. Here's how to make them.
Items needed:
-garland of your choice
-crafting glue
-scissors
-recycled cardboard cones
Tip: Cardboard cones typically are at the end of yarn, when purchased on a "cone." If you know someone who crochets or knits, have them save you these.
1. On a safe work surface, apply glue around the bottom of the cardboard cone. Wrap the garland around and allow to dry just a bit before proceeding.
2. Apply more glue and continue to wrap the cone to the top. Cut the garland with scissors, add a dap of glue to the top and press down. Allow to completely dry.
Tip: Add a recycled item to the top for a "star" such as a large button, wooden painted item, metal star, or whatever you have.
These make very inexpensive Christmas decorations, and kids can make them with adult supervision.
