green Styrofoam cone
craft leaves
small round paper box
decorations of choice
glitter paint
white paint
hot glue
Instructions
Glue the small round paper box to the bottom of the Styrofoam cone for the trunk.
Cut the metal stems off of the craft leaves, leaving about a half an inch.
One row at a time, insert the metal stems straight into the Styrofoam cone and then hot glue down. The larger your cone the more leaves you will need.
After all the rows have been added, shape the tree by bending the leaves until you have your desired shape.
Paint the tips of the leaves with glitter paint and/or white paint.
Hot glue on the decorations of your choice. I used tiny pinecones, two tiny doves, the beads from holiday picks that I cut apart, and a star for the top.
Spray a tomato cage gold for Christmas. Turn it big side down, tie the legs together with wire or a twist-tie at the top, and there's a quick and easy tabletop tree.
