If you’re searching for a delightful DIY project that adds a touch of pastel fun and whimsy to your festive decor, you’re in for a treat. We’ll guide you through how to create colourful and fun Christmas Sprinkles Cone Trees using just a handful of materials. Grab your hot glue gun and let’s get started!
Materials You’ll Need for Your Christmas Sprinkles Cone Trees:
- Polystyrene cone (readily available at craft stores)
- Chunky wool in pastel hues of your choice
- Small pom poms in a variety of complimenting pastel colours
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Before you begin crafting, ensure you have all your materials laid out on your crafting table for easy access.
Step 2: Starting at the Base
Kick off your project by anchoring a strand of pastel chunky wool at the base of the polystyrene cone using your trusty hot glue gun. This will serve as the foundation for your first delightful Christmas Sprinkles Cone Tree.
Step 3: Twist and Glue
Here comes the fun part! Begin wrapping the pastel chunky wool around the cone, gently twisting it as you progress. Remember to apply small dots of hot glue at intervals as you wind the wool. This not only ensures a secure hold but also helps you maintain control over the design.
Step 4: Adjust as You Go
As you continue upward, you may find it necessary to nudge the strands of wool closer together to achieve a lush, full appearance,
Step 5: Finish at the Top
Once you’ve reached the top of the cone, use a final dab of hot glue to secure the pastel chunky wool. Trim any excess wool with your scissors to achieve a neat finish.
Step 6: Add Playful Pom Poms
For that extra dash of whimsy, consider adorning your pastel Christmas Sprinkles Cone Tree with colourful pom poms.
To give the pom poms a visual “anchor” we wound a piece of white wool around the tree about 4 times (adjust depending on the height of your tree, and personal preference), working from the bottom to the top. Secure in place with a few drops from your trusty hot glue gun.
With that in place, then attach the pom poms to the tree using your hot glue gun, placing them along the white woollen line that you just created.
The pom poms add a splash of colour and certainly lend a playful and festive feel to your creation.
Step 7: There’s More Where That Came From!
Repeat to process with different sized cones and wool colours to create co-ordinating Christmas Sprinkles Cone Trees in a variety of sizes and colours.
Step 8: Admire Your Handiwork
