Approximate Time 20 - 30 minutes or less
Supplies:
- small evergreen trees - the samples are 8 inches tall
- tiny holiday decor, such as bows, balls, bells, snowflakes, gift boxes, Santa hats, candy canes
- thick craft glue
- toothpicks
- quilt batting or scraps of printed fabric
- scissors
Instructions:
- Choose the items you wish to put on your tree. Beginning at the top of the tree, add your items one at a time. Use a toothpick to place a dab of glue on each item, then press the item onto a tree branch. Continue in the same manner to decorate the entire tree.
- Cut a 3 - 4 inch circle from quilt batting or other fabric for a tree skirt. From the edge of the circle, make one cut into the circle, stopping at the center. This will enable you to fit the skirt around the trunk of the tree. Fit the skirt to the tree and glue the ends of the skirt together.
- Glue some tiny gift boxes or other small items to the tree skirt.
