I started with my little pedestal bowl turned upside down. I just used hot glue and can remove the tree later if I want. You just need some sort of base to build your tree on.

I gathered up tons of sheet music. Large pages work best for this tree so skip the hymnals this time. Began rolling my pages up into cones. I started with two cones and kept layering them on.

Make sure the tops sort of come to a point and it will look like a tree.

Add a tree skirt with muslin to hide the base. I took a circle of muslin cut to size. Then hot glued on muslin strips in ruffles.

Now, display your tree!
