DIY Burlap Christmas Tree

by

This little tree, takes about 3 rolls of burlap and was done on a 17″ green styrofoam cone( I removed 2″ of the top).

Also a 6″ styrofoam disc that I painted to match the burlap.  It’s 5’5″ rolls in the darker green( check your shades against each other) I used floral pins and hot glue and little glitter balls( from HL). Using the “pull thread” method in the tutorial below

I started at the bottom of the cone, and wrapped, pinned and hot glued it to the structure. Continue in that manner, pressing each row close together…stop when you reach about 1 inch from the top. this will leave you space to attach a bow or star…whatever makes you happy. Take hot glue and attach the glitter balls ( color of your choice) here n there throughout the ruffle.

Have fun…make it your own!!! Make Happy Little Trees!
