These elegant trees are so versatile -- you can make them in a variety of sizes and with almost endless decorating possibilities -- they'll fit in any (or every!) room in your house.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| 1 large piece of drawing paper or poster board
Clear or double-sided tape Scissors Hot-glue gun Small ornaments, garlands, fake jewels, or ribbons Dowel with a 1/2-inch diameter (ours were 3 feet long) Decorative bucket or flowerpot Small rocks Cotton batting | |
| Seasons: Christmas, Winter | |
| Materials: poster board, tape | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Roll the paper or poster board into a cone shape (make sure
the hole at the tip is less than 1/2 inch wide), then tape the
seam and trim the bottom so that it's even. |
| 2. | Decorate the cone by hot-gluing small ornaments, garlands, fake jewels, or ribbons to it. (If you're using bulb ornaments, glue the top of the ornament, rather than the bulb itself, to the cone for a stronger hold.) Let the glue dry. |
| 3. | Stand the dowel in the bucket and fill the bucket with
enough rocks to keep the dowel upright. Cover the rocks with the
cotton batting, then set the paper cone atop the dowel.
