Winter Trees

I've been wanting to make something with those Styrofoam cones you see everything. However, I wanted to do something different. Check out below to see how I made these two trees!

The one on the left is my glitter snow-tex tree. To make something similar, you will need:
-Styrofoam cone
-Snow-tex
-silver glitter
-silver glitter spray paint

I started out with this cone I got (it was FINALLY on sale at Michaels - I've been waiting forever!). I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with its awkward top. Seriously, Styrofoam creators? It's a cone! Cones end in a point. Not like this.

I covered the cone in Snow-tex. Then, I slopped a big glob on top and molded it until it stopped looking awkward. I thought I had taken a picture of it but apparently forgot. Sorry! Then, once it dried, I sprayed it with glitter spray paint. When it was still a little wet from the paint, I added silver glitter, mostly because I forgot it's really hard to see glitter spray paint. It came out with a nice, textured look.

For the yarn wrapped cone, I took my favorite yarn and wrapped it from the bottom up. This one was from Consumer Crafts which I got for really cheap AND it comes with a point. Win!

To make something similar, you will need:
-Styrofoam cone
-yarn
-hot glue

I got about 3/4 of the way up when the yarn wouldn't stay in place so I started hot gluing it. I chose this yarn because it ties in with my snow wreath. I'm trying to tie everything together here.

Stay tuned this next week as I share more things from my late winter decorations!
