I finished these trees today. The bases are foam tree forms from the Dollar Tree. Everything else was stuff I already had. I used paper cut in small triangles and glued on with hot glue. Topped one with a bow and put in a small pot wrapped with ribbon. The stick is a bbq skewer wrapped with tinsel trim. The other is topped with a star sticker. The base is a mini storage cup also wrapped with tinsel trim.
The wreaths are ones I have been making over the past two weeks. I learned how to do this from a video by Sylvia Tabor. Some are gifts, but at least one will be for us. I probably will make at least two more before I decide who gets what.
Or maybe I'll just keep them all!
Thanks for looking.

My my ny, gluing all those triangles!!! I think I would have dipped the cone in glue then put if into a bag with all those wonderful triangles and shook it like frying chicken legs!!! You have the patience of a Saint, my friend! !! BTW.... Beautiful trees and concept! !! Don't know which wreath I like the best. You chose some great papers and great color combos! !! Also, thank you so very much for the plug, was really sweet of you! !!
