Yep! I am still loving ruffles! and I couldn’t let Christmas slip by without whipping up some ruffled up décor!
And came back to my son and niece dumping 2 large cans of green glitter ALL OVER THE CARPET!!
So – I changed the game plan a little and decided to make some ruffled trees with some Christmas fabric I had in my stash.
I am actually really glad that the glitter trees didn’t work out because I really love these trees!
Let’s make some for you too!
Next, cut 1” strips of fabric. They can be however long you need them. I had some that were pretty long and some that were really short just because of my scraps. You just need to make sure you have enough to cover your cones.
Then you simply start at the bottom, using hot glue, and ruffle the fabric as you go.
Then layed my fabric down over the top of the glue.
Then used my finger to pinch the fabric – making little ruffles!
I just kept gluing, wrapping and pinching all the up the cone. When I got to the top I added a big glob of glue and pinched the fabric into a point.
And then your done! So simple! So fun!
Imagine all the possibilities with all the darling fabric out there!! You could even use Christmas ribbon too – then you wouldn’t even have to cut and could just get started gluing! Have fun! and remember to come back tomorrow for the Linky Party!!
