Yarn Trees for the Holidays... { a mini tutorial }

A couple of Christmas's ago, we made some adorable, Christmas yarn trees for an event Erin Galloway Interiors was hosting.

They turned out absolutely fabulous and we thought we would give you a mini tutorial to guide you on your way to make your own Christmas yarn trees!!

Supplies Needed...

Styrofoam cones, yarn, ribbon, glue gun with glue, felt

Step 1 :choose a fun colored yarn { I used a more dense yarn and wrapped it very tight to achieve a shiny look } and some fun ribbon { you probably have enough scraps!}

Step 2 : start wrapping the cone from the top down { I found it easier to go in this direction }....turn on the TV or your iPod and keep wrapping....and wrapping...and wrapping....

Step 3 : secure the yarn at the bottom with a little hot glue. Cut a circle of felt the diameter of the bottom of your cone and glue it in place on the bottom { I cut mine with pinking shears to give it a more finished look }

Step 4 : gather your ribbon and cut a bunch of pieces { around 20ish or so } about 4 inches long. Tie one ribbon around the bunch in the middle. Put a dollop of glue on the top of the cone and  "squish" { so technical } the ribbon down onto it. Play around a little bit before putting the glue on so that you get the ribbon to look right!!

THAT'S IT!!!! Super Cute and EASY!!!
