-styrofoam floral cones
-white yarn
-straight pins
-glue
-foam heart stickers <<< I bought mine at Michaels, but here are some other options for heart stickers
I found a few tutorials for yarn trees using rolled poster board or card stock to make the cone and then gluing the yarn to the cone. That sounded time consuming and messy to me, so I bought a couple of styrofoam cones instead.
I started by using two straight pins to hold the end of the yarn to the bottom of the cone.
Once I got to the top, I coiled the yarn to cover the flat top of the cone. I added some Elmer's glue to help hold the coil in place and used a straight pin to hold it just while the glue was drying.
Then I continued wrapping, now from top to bottom. I filled in any visible gaps and did some overlapping to give it a more messy look. Once I got to the bottom, I again used two pins to hold the yarn and then cut off the end.
Now you have a plain white yarn tree that you can easily adapt every season. I can see Cade having fun helping me change out the holiday stickers in a few years!
Since it's Valentine's Day, I applied these cute little foam heart shaped stickers.
This fun craft was cheap to make and only took about 15 minutes! Such an easy decor idea!
These are so cute! Love them-- a simple DIY is the best!
