Holiday Tree Forest (Part 1)
By Vanessa Spencer
I purchased some Styrofoam cones from my local discount store. The papers are from the 6”x6” Snowflakes and Holly paper pad by Daisy d’s (5DD-17384).
The strips that go around the bottom were cut down to 6” x 1 1/2 “ strips. All the other strips on the other layers were cut down to 6” x 1”.
On each strip tear a little piece off the end. Using pins – attach each strip to the cone, overlapping each one just slightly.
Once you have attached all the strips for each layer, spray both trees entirely with gold glimmer mist (5TA-GOLD). Make sure you also spray underneath the strips of paper because once the paper has dried from being sprayed with the glimmer mist – you will curl up the ends slightly and you want to be able to see the gold underneath.
For the top of the tree I used green and red prima sprites flowers (5PM-516413 & 5PM-516390). You will need 2 of each color for both trees.
Layer smaller green onto a red and attach a Maison Image brad (5KC-564763).
Then using a strong liquid adhesive (5AG-DDC02) glued the bottom petals to the tree on either side so it resembles a star!
