What you'll need:


hot glue gun
ammo aka glue sticks
4-6 types of ribbon in different widths.
Fabric Scraps (optional. i just like the way frayed fabric looks!)
straight pins
scissors
styrofoam cones

 

Step 1: Cut ribbon & fabric into desired length and remember that it will be folded in half. Mine were about 3". If you are making a larger tree..i would do longer than that. (I cut the amount shown in the picture and then just cut as I went. I didn't want to cut too many and waste the ribbon. )

Step 2: Pin ribbon pieces on to create your pattern and figure out spacing. I will be skipping this step on my next tree...but it helped me figure out placement.


Step 3: Warm up your glue gun and get going. The progression should look something like this:

 

Note: I glued about an inch or so above the previous ribbon like so...

Step 4: (optional) Cut out a circle of fabric & glue it on top to make it look more "finished"


I then made a bow on top....



and regretted it. it's a little much.
so, here's the finished product with the bow cropped out. :)


have fun!
p.s. i highly recommend listening to Nat King Cole's Christmas Song Pandora Station or Sufjan's Christmas CD while making these. do it.

love.
