Material Used:
- Sparkly red yarn
- Paper cone
- Fairy light
- Hot glue gun
- Tree topper star
How to DIY Sparkly Yarn Christmas Tree
Step 1: Make a paper cone or use a foam one. I made a paper cone and glued it with hot glue to keep it intact.
Step 2: Coil the sparkly yarn tightly around the cone, starting from the top down. Once the cone is all wrapped up in yarn, glue the bottom edge of the yarn under the cone to keep it from unraveling.
Step 3: Add fairy lights around the cone and top it with a star.
And that is it! It couldn’t be easier and simpler. Follow the video tutorial below and let us know what you think. Have a Merry Christmas!
