I was looking for some cute decor ideas for Christmas and I came across this one here: <\/span>Ribbon Trees<\/a>. I ran with the idea and I came up with one of my own\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I started with these materials:<\/p>\n

A foam \u201ctree\u201d<\/p>\n

Some cute Holiday-y ribbon<\/div>\n
\n
and my handy-dandy pink glue gun. (Notice how it\u2019s covered in hot glue- as are my fingers as I type this!)<\/div>\n
\n
I then cut my ribbon into around 4 inch strips, as the other site instructed to do so. I eyeballed the amount and just checked to see what I thought looked best:<\/div>\n
\n
Then, I hot-glued the ribbon to itself:<\/div>\n
\n
Then, I attached it to the \u201ctree\u201d<\/div>\n
\n
\u2026continuing all the way around:<\/div>\n
\n
Then, on to the next row.<\/div>\n
\n
Then, the third (kinda redundant?)<\/div>\n
\n
Repeat with previous 2 colors\u2026<\/div>\n
\n
And\u2026just because I could, I made a topper using a tiny ornament, bought in a pack of like 18 for $1 at Target!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love it!<\/div>\n
If you haven\u2019t noticed, pretty much all my decorations are silver and red this year\u2026I\u2019m into those colors right now. When I was finished with my tree I placed it in my little \u201cvillage\u201d, which I\u2019m still working on decorating\u2026<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I know, still unfinished\u2026 a little later I\u2019ll post how I made the other \u201cbeaded tree\u201d\u2026<\/div>\n
