Christmas Cone Tree Decorating Idea With Fizzle Yarn

I have a very easy and frugal Christmas cone tree decoration idea that uses a Styrofoam cone, yarn, beads, ribbon, and a hot glue gun!

They took me about 15 minutes each to make and are great to add to the mantle or side table! I personally have my Christmas cone trees behind my nativity scene near my Christmas tree.

Materials needed to make your own Christmas Cone decorated with tizzy yarn:

• Styrofoam cone – I have them ranging from 6-12″ in size.  I also recommend getting white – if you get green it will show through a bit.
• I used white tizzy yarn.  Turns out since I made this, that kind of yarn has been voluntary recalled.  *eye roll*  So – one alternative I found is this white fizzle yarn.  I like this yarn because it gives it texture like a snowy covered evergreen tree!
• Miscellaneous tree decorations such as gold bead garland, silver beads, red ribbon, felt poinsettias, bows, or whatever else you have to use to decorate your cone tree.
• hot glue gun
  To cover your Styrofoam cone, add a dab of hot glue and attach the end of your yarn.  Then wrap it around the Styrofoam cone tightly.  The Styrofoam cone has a texture that sort of sticks to the yarn, so the yarn easily stays in place as your wrap it.

I do recommend gluing it every few rows as you go up the cone.

Now it’s time to decorate – there are endless possibilities to decorate your trees.  You can see the 3 different ways I decorated mine.  Use hot glue and wrap around some ribbon or gold bead garland.  Glue on individual beads for ornaments and top it with a bow, star, or even a poinsettia!

Add some evergreen or pine cones around the base, and perhaps add your Christmas Nativity scene in the front as I do!

Get creative with these and share your ideas!  I’d love to see how you decorate yours!
