Sadly, they are no longer available on the website, so I headed out to Michaels.
It turns out they're really inexpensive and easy to make.
If you didn't use hot glue, they would be a great craft for kids too!
Here are the supplies:
(I already had hot glue at home)
Step 1: Make the paper cones. At first I wanted to use styrofoam cones, but they're kind of expensive so I decided to make paper ones. Roll the paper so it forms a cone and put a dot of glue at the bottom to hold it in place.
Step 2: Cut off the excess along the edge, then glue the edge closed.
Step 3: Make the bottom edge even so that it will stand straight.
Cute little trees!
Step 4: Fold the felt in half width-wise, like a hamburger bun. Cut from the edge to the fold in an arc, be sure the top of the arc is at the fold. Cut them about 2 1/2" wide - I was able to get three strips out of one piece of felt.
Step 5: Keeping them folded, and following the arc, cut a scalloped edge along one side.
Each strip should look like this once you open it.
Step 6: Starting at the bottom of the tree, hot glue the strips to the cone.
If you like, you can cut out a felt star for the top.
And there you go!
Whimsical felt trees for your mantle or a shelf!
Happy crafting!
