…I made a grouping of trees for a centerpiece or mantle!
Cut a bunch of die cut trees in a variety of shades of green. It would also be gorgeous in WHITE!( I used the Tim Holtz Pine Tree die)
Trim the tree trunk from all the cuts to make them into boughs. Cut up some of the boughs into smaller sections
Hot Glue the boughs to a styrofoam cone in a random fashion, scattering the colors. Fill in bare spots with smaller bough sections. The styrofoam cone will show in places. If you can’t find a green cone, pre-paint a white cone with acrylic paint.
Add punched flowers or small ornaments to “decorate” your tree.
Have a great rest of your week!

Great idea, as always. This can also be great for wreaths and small round balls as ornaments.

Adorable…loving it…
laura these are stunning!!! i was thinking of white trees made from ikea paper for my table this year…. but these are nicer…but i only have the leaf die…imagine cutting all the leaves in one die!!!i might die have fun xxx
Not fond of this one .. a bit “shaggy” for me .. of course if I were given one .. I would learn to love it.
How cool! I love it! Another great idea Laura!!!
Was so nice to see Sarah on your show the other night and feeling better. Hope and pray Trevor is doing better now too.
This is very pretty.
Love it!!! I found a “snow pen” that you could add some white to the tips of the pine boughs. It is supposed to puff up when heated. It is from the Marvey people.
That pen is VERY COOL and it really works!! That is a lot of boughs to draw on and heat though!!! LOL!!!
