Styrofoam twine Christmas tree


While I like to celebrate the holidays one at a time, I did break my rule and made a Christmas craft before Thanksgiving.  What can I say, my glue gun was on fire last week!


I started out with a Styrofoam tree that I bought at a garage sale for 50 cents. I bought the ball of twine (at where else?) for 50 cents too.  So the grand total of the project was around $1.  I used a couple of hot glue gun sticks, so that factored into the cost.

 
I put the tivo on to something mindless (probably The Biggest Loser) and glued away.  I wrapped the twine around twice.



This is what I ended up with.

I stuck it into a galvanized bucket and added a felt flower, but I'm not sold.  I think I like it better just plain.


 What do you think?

  1. I really like this idea! I like maybe the flower, but not the bucket. Or I'm thinking maybe a rusty(ic) star on top. I think I'll have to do this, I have all the supplies already. :)

  7. Love this! I think I like it better plain, or just minus the bucket. I like your jars of pinecones too.
