Christmas Cone Tree Decorating Idea With Fizzle Yarn

This post may contain an affiliate link. See my disclosure policy.

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 mintues 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.

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!
