Equipment

  • Styrofoam cone
  • Ribbon (2 colors)
  • Straight Pins
  • Hot glue

Instructions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Hot glue all of the ribbon ends onto the bottom of the cone.
  • 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.
  • Add additional straight pins to the top if desired. I used some round head ones on the top.
  • When you are satisfied, display your tree.
