Tinsel trees have been all over the internet and Pinterest for awhile. One reason why I love tinsel trees is because you can customize them in so many ways. This year the Dollar Tree has a really cute peppermint tinsel that comes in white, read and green versions. I really liked the white version because it kind of reminded me of snow.
Using a cardboard cone that I bought for under $2 at the craft store for the base, I then wrapped two strands of peppermint candy cane tinsel. I did you a small spot of hot glue at the beginning and the end to secure the tinsel in place. I also glued a peppermint to the top of the cone
If you prefer to use a styrofoam cone, those also work very well. Here is the bottom of the one of the trees I made last year.
I love all the different looks depending on which tinsel you use. If you do decide to make a tinsel tree, watch out! It is very addicting!
