Ruffle Christmas Tree

Total Time: 1 Hour

Supplies:

• Green organza ribbon, about 3 inch wide
• Threads the same color as the organza ribbon
• Needle
• Scissors
• Hot glue and hot glue gun
• Cardboard, I used cardboard from a box of chocolates
• Duct tape
• Compass
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Baking paper
• Beads

Steps:

1. Draw a circle and it's radius on the cardboard (the height of the finished Christmas tree will be slightly larger than the radius).

 
2. Cut out the circle and the radius. Roll the cone to the desired width. Mark the joint. I took a sector with 125 degrees (radius 13 cm). Cut out this sector.
3. Tape the outside surface of the cone with duct tape. Roll up the cone and fix it using duct tape.

4. Cut a circle slightly smaller than the circle at the base of the cone out of 3-layer cardboard. Paste this circle inside the cone and glue with hot glue. This circle will help the cone keep its shape.

 
5. Sew the edges of the organza, pulling together a little fabric to form a frill.

 
6. Wrap the cone in baking paper.

 
7. Apply 8 strips of hot glue along the sides of the cone (see photo).

8. Glue the organza frills in a spiral: first apply a small strip of glue, then quickly add the frills (press a bit).

 
9. Remove the cone. Gently remove the baking paper.

 
10. Decorate the finished Christmas tree with beads.
