time for confession: i picked these styrofoam cones up at the dollar store before halloween. i had visions of making them as candy corn. welp, that didn't happen obviously.
so, i decided to make Christmas trees. my inspiration was the valentine's day wreath i made earlier this year. just cut the circles from off-white felt, fold them, and pin to the cone.
easy peasy, just a little bit time consuming.
cute. but she was lacking a little pizzazz...
so here comes glitter spray.
i got the krylon brand from michaels.
worked like a charm.
you can't really tell the difference in pictures, but there is definitely some sparkle on the tree now.
i didn't have the patience/energy/desire to do the same with the other two.
so i just wrapped them in twine and hot glue.
simple. simple.
happy december 1st. woah, where did 2011 go...?

it's overflowing
