Materials:
- Plastic cone (available in 24" or 36"
heights)
- Feather boas (3-4 for 24" tree, 5-6 for
36" tree)
- Glass ball ornaments or florals to
decorate trees
- Hot glue & glue gun
- Wire cutters
Directions for constructing
a tree:
-
Glue feather boas to cone,
working in a spiral from bottom to top.
Directions for decorating
with glass ball ornaments:
-
Each glass bulb has a metal
cap and a wire clip protruding. For the bulb on top of tree, remove
cap and clip, then glue bulb to point, holding securely until glue
is cool. For all other bulbs, hold the cap securely and pull out the
clip; discard. Remove the cap, put a spot of hot glue on the outside
opening of the glass bulb & slip cap back on.
-
Hot glue each bulb on tree
at metal cap; hold in place until glue is cool.
Directions for decorating
with florals:
-
Clip flowers off stems.
Glue onto tree, spacing as desired.
(TIP: Poinsettias are layers of petals with spacers between. For a
less bulky flower, clip through the bottom layers, removing the
spacers. Glue onto tree, reassembling the layers as you go, but
without the bulky spacers.)
-
Top of tree: Glue cluster
of flowers together, then glue to top of tree.
-
Trim leaves from leftover
stems and tuck under flowers where desired. Glue in place.
