- Scissors
Ingredients
- 1 roll Buffalo Plaid ribbon
- 1 piece 12" foam craft cone
- 1 piece Star ornament
- 1 piece Glass candlestick holder
- White chalk paint and foam brush
- Sanding block or paper
Instructions
- Start by cutting buffalo plaid fabric into 30 squares 4 inches long.
- Next, fold each square in half. Then stick them together using one dab of hot glue.
- Make the tree stand by painting a candlestick holder with chalk paint. For a smooth finish, apply 3 coats.
- Once dry, scuff it with sandpaper to give it an antiqued look.
- Starting from the bottom, attach buffalo plaid fabric to the foam cone. Carefully move up to cover the entire cone.
- Add another layer overlapping the first slightly. Keep adding layers until you get to the top. Make sure the top layer is overhanging the top of the cone by about 1/4".
- Glue the tree to the candlestick (tree stand!).
- Add the star to the top of the tree and display it on your mantle or holiday table.
