Yield: 1
Cost: $15
Equipment
- Scissors
Materials
- 3 1/2 inch dowel rods about 2 feet long
- rubber band
- 45 feet of faux garland
- 5 yards of red and white twine
- 50 white beads
- medium weight white yarn
Instructions
- Remove old plants from planters but leave the soil.
- Place three dowel rods into the soil and gather them at the top to create a teepee effect.
- Use a rubber band to secure the dowel rods together at the top.
- Begin wrapping the faux garland around the dowel rods until they are completely covered.
- Check for open areas or bald spots and adjust accordingly.
- String beads onto red and white twine at even intervals about 3-4 inches apart, tying a knot at the ends.
- Wrap the beaded garland around the tree.
- Create a pom pom out of white yarn and tie it to the top of the tree.
Notes
You can use longer dowel rods to make a taller tree. Keep in mind that you will need to buy more garland and possibly more beads for a taller tree.
