Oh Christmas Tree
This was a really fun little craft to do this evening.
I used:
6" styrofoam cone
pages from an old hymnal
circle punch (1 1/8")
hot glue
old candle holder
I punched a bunch of circles from music from a hymnal. I then curled the circles by wrapping them around a pencile for a few seconds.
I then began hot gluing the circles onto the tree covering the styrofoam thoroughly. I layered the circles atop each other. One row I began gluing to the left and the next to the right. I don't know if it made a difference, but I wanted to avoid uniformity.
I continued almost all the way to the top, leaving about a 1/4".
Next I cut approximately a 3" square from the music and made a cone shape, securing it with hot glue. I then cut the cone bottom to make it even, and hot glued it to the top of the tree, overlapping the circles.
I added more curled circles atop the cone, and then hot glued it to an old wooden candle holder.
So neat Michelle. This would look great in a group of trees in varied sizes, or even using antiquing on the edges. So many ways to personalize. This is my favorite too!
