Here’s what we used:
First, we drew a pattern for our “leaves” on a piece of cardstock, then cut it out so that all of our pieces were consistent. This can be any size you prefer and will vary depending on the size of your cone tree!
Next, we cut our scrapbook paper into strips wide enough to fit the paper pattern we created.
You can use your own pattern to draw on paper, but we thought it was easier to just keep it there and cut out the shape. This doesn’t have to be perfect!
Since our leaf pattern was a little on the smaller side, it made a lot of leaves! Just remember that you will have to get rid of all of this stuff, so plan accordingly!!
The first row of leaves at the bottom wouldn’t completely cover the cone, so we decided to put some white paint on it! For a different look, you can also adhere pieces of the scrapbooking paper you use to cover the cone.
Once the paint is dry, we start gluing the leaves. Make sure to keep it as much as possible! We arranged each row to cover the spaces between the papers.
Watch your fingers because this glue is hot…ask us how we know that!!!!
We had to use a little extra glue on top to get the leaves to sit on the cone!
We thought this cute ball would be the perfect addition to the top of our little tree!
We love this fun and easy craft! There is literally no limit to what you can create with these cones! Scrapbook paper, felt, pom poms, and here She is one of the Blooming Homestead that uses PEARLS!!! We want to hear if you make a cone tree and what you use!!! Let us know!
