Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Printer
  • pencil
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Drill optional
  • Star Cookie Cutter optional
  • Serrated knife

Instructions

  • Cut down cones to different shapes with a serrated knife.
  • Print out the template for the felt onto cardstock. Or use regular paper and transfer it onto cardboard.
  • Trace the pattern onto felt and cut it out.
  • Add hot glue to the cone and place the first set of leaves onto the bottom, leaving some overhang.
  • Cut the next set from the image left from the first cut out.
  • Glue the next layer on top of the first layer, overlapping the first layer. Offset the leaves where possible.
  • Repeat the process until you have covered the cone.
  • Cut out a circle for the top and glue it and the other top edges together.
  • Trace a star onto gold felt folded in half cutting out two stars.
  • Glue a toothpick in between the stars and press it into the top of the tree.
  • Drill a small amount of the wood slice in the center to fit the dowel rod or stick.
  • Insert the rod or stick into the foam at a height you like, then glue it into the wood slice.
  • Repeat the same process for all the trees and arrange them as you like.

Notes

You can use different colors of felt for each tree or different shades on a single tree.
You can use thin branches from outdoors instead of a dowel rod.
You can make the trees all the same height or vary them.
