Cotton Ball Christmas Trees

December 6, 2012 By Meegan 22 Comments

When I was a young girl we made Cotton Ball Christmas Trees for an activity.  These trees look great and are a perfect craft for kids and adults alike.  Today I will share how to make one.  You are gonna love how easy and cute this is.  I promise.

You will need: REAL cotton balls, a Styrofoam cone, corsage pins, and sequins.   Place the pin through the sequin hole and push through your cotton ball into the cone.

Tips: I used a 6 inch cone.  So I split my cotton balls in half.  Because it looked too bulky and you couldn’t see the sequin.

I also didn’t push the pin all the way in, so you could see the shiny sequin.  Easy?  Yep, it is that easy!

Use any color sequins to match your decorations or make one for a friend. You might want to decorate a whole table full of trees! How awesome would that look?

Here she is placed among the Christmas cuties.  I think it would be fun for the grand kiddos to make these, don’t you?  I hope you enjoyed this simple and easy craft.  Let me know if you make some-I would love to see them!

I also made a Cotton Ball Snowball. Two as a matter of fact.

Can you tell I REALLY like to use my Christmas cuties for staging my Christmas decorations?

I love creating and using what I have to make fun and easy projects like Cotton Ball Christmas Trees.

Thanks for joining me today.

Make it a great day.

    I love it! I have been trying to think of a way to make a cute little tree for my 2 1/2-year-old’s “Winter Wonderland Table” that I put together for her, and I think this is a great idea! I’ll just have to be sure she doesn’t try to pull the pins out! If I make one and blog about it, I will link back to you. Thanks so much for sharing, I found you via the Made U Look linky :)
