I love all the amazing trees everyone is making.
I really want to make some of my own but I have NO MONEY to spend.
So I decided to make my own foam tree forms.
I saw this idea somewhere, I can't remember, sorry!
I started with a plastic cup, fabric strips and a piece of paper.I twisted my paper into a cone shape that fit over the top of my upside down cup. I taped it along the entire thing to keep it form undoing.
I trimmed off the excess paper and hot glued the cone onto my cup.
I took my torn fabric strips and started gluing them around the cone. I made sure to go over the lip of the cup so that no cup could be seen.

And the best part is that I spent zero dollars on them!
Super cute!!! I've seen a lot of foam trees and I LOVE these!!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable and I especially LOVE the price tag!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I have seen the foam ones all over but free "foam" trees sound like my kind of craft! Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGREAT IDEA!!! I've made several trees using the foam...but those foam pieces are $4 regular price. Too much $$ for FOAM! Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks for sharing!!
