Why People Are Putting Dollar Store Cones On Bookshelves (Genius)

For this project I only needed two materials. The first is styrofoam cones. The second is fabric. I folded each fabric in half then used my rotary cutter and cutting mat to cut two inch strips. Then I cut those strips into two inch squares. I didn't bother using a straight edge for this part because it really doesn't matter if the pieces are perfectly uniform. As long as they're all roughly the same size it really doesn't matter. Once all the squares were cut it was time to get to work on covering the cones. To do this I took a pair of dull scissors and placed the tip in the center of the right side of the fabric. Then I set the square on the cone and pushed it in until a bit of the edges were sticking out. That's literally the whole technique. I kept going with the dark green plaid and then the light green linen until most of the cone was covered. To finish it off I hot glued a little cluster of brass bells to the top. That's the only glue on this whole tree and And just like that, the first tree is done, a traditional looking tree with a little red point set up. These little trees are perfect for displaying on a bookshelf, a fireplace mantle, or even in a little Christmas village. And because there's no glue holding the fabric on, they're so simple and easy to make.
