Whatever Girlfriends

One more way to use those cones!   A Ribbon Tree is a great way to use whatever colors you want to add to your Christmas tree.  You will need 1 cone, ribbon, glue gun and a piece of string to make the hanger.  Optional is a pom pom for a topper. I used every inch of the spool of ribbon for one tree, so don't be careless when you cut the ribbon in pieces - you cannot waste a bit!!! The ribbon was from Dollar Tree.  Nine feet of 5/8 wide, cut into  2 and 1/2 inch pieces.   Using a glue gun, start at the bottom of the cone and glue pieces all around the bottom. I glue a piece on as shown here ----> Glue the edge of the wrong side. Do it all the way around, then put glue on the other end of the piece and fold up to edge.   Glue a piece of ribbon on the top.   Just keep going up, over lapping each layer.   Glue a piece of string to the top so you can hang it on your Christmas tree or to a packag...

Here is another tree ornament just like the Jute ornament, only using fabric strips!  I am thinking about adding a ribbon bow on the top of the tree. The supplies are: foam tree (from Hobby Lobby), one strip of fabric that is about 1" in width and 30" in length.  I tore it so it would have the rustic look.  You will need a glue gun and I used jute for a hang loop on the top.   I started at the bottom on this ornament. Glue a strip on the bottom, then cut as you go, layering the next strip above and keep going up.  Just before I put the top layer on I cut a small square and put it on the tip then layered the last strip.  Is this clear as mud?   I think the fabric can really be a great way to go to use the color theme you choose.  And adding bows on top would really be cute!  Let me see what you do with this project!!!
