DIY Dollar Store Christmas Tree







I wish I had taken pictures of this process but I didn't...but it was really easy!

Supplies:
1. Styrofoam Cone (I purchased mine from the dollar store)
2. Pearl Stem Pick (I bought this from Hobby Lobby some years back. You can find them in the Floral department but they are made from wire and bendable. You could use the mulberry beaded style as well for more color)
3. Twine & Ribbon
4. Trinket/Charm to use as the topper
5. Staple Gun & Hot Glue

Wrap your twine around the cone and glue as you go. Once you reach the top staple the twine in place. Then cut your pearl stem down and stick them wherever you like. Tie the ribbon around and add your decorative top! Simple and cute! I need to stalk up on more styrofoam cones to make more for next year!
