So, the other \u201ctree\u201d I posted in my last post was a \u201cbeaded tree\u201d. I got the idea here: Tree!<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Here\u2019s how I made mine\u2026I will mention beforehand that I really like my ribbon tree a lot better, and the blog who I got the idea from has a much cuter beaded tree than me\u2026don\u2019t knock a girl for trying though, hee hee!<\/div>\n
\n
First, I got one of these: \u201cfoam trees\u201d<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
and then some of these, which I picked up at Hob Lob for just a couple of dollars:<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
They\u2019re a vase filler, but I did my decorations this year in red and silver, and I really liked the way they looked. Next, I got my glue gun and got to work- starting from the bottom up. Then, all the way around, making sure that none hang over, so it will stand evenly.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Then, just put some glue on a section and keep gluing.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I tried to use different sizes so they looked \u201crandomly\u201d placed, rather than in straight lines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Go all the way up to the top.<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Then go ahead and make a topper when you realize that the tree you were modeling yours after was much thinner at the top! Whoopsie.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
I just used a tiny ornament\u2026and because it\u2019s me and I love me some glitz-<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Go ahead and wrap some \u201cribbon garland\u201d around it.<\/div>\n
Not too bad for my first try.<\/div>\n
I will say this is an easy craft, but a little time consuming. And you may drive yourself a little bit crazy trying to get those foam balls to fit in with each other!<\/div>\n
\n
Note: Careful, these lil foam balls will melt if the glue is way too hot! I had to learn the hard way, so you don\u2019t have to!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
