   Today I am going to show you how to make my faux nail head Christmas tree…

Let’s start with what you are going to need.
  • Styrofoam cone
  • Ribbon (2 colors)
  • Straight Pins
  • Hot Glue

  Step 1: Start ribbon at the top of the cone. Secure with a straight pin into the Styrofoam. I used up to 6 pieces of ribbon at a time with one straight pin.

 Step 2: Stretch ribbon to bottom of cone and secure with a straight pin. Overlap each ribbon piece slightly. Cut off your ribbon. Repeat until you are all the way around the cone.

Step 3: Hot glue all of the ribbon ends onto the bottom of the cone.

Step 4: Add straight pins into any pattern you desire for a nail head effect. You can go wild with your pattern. Or just add a few here and there.

Step 5: Add additional straight pins to the top if desired. I used some round head ones on the top.
