I think mini Christmas trees are so adorable , so I wanted to make one that would fit in with my little Coastal House. I purchased a Styrofoam cone shape in my local craft store and decided I wanted to use the smallest shells I could find to decorate it.
Supplies Needed:
- Styrofoam Cone
- Ribbons
- Shells
- Glue Gun
- Glitter
- Silver Acrylic Paint
- Paint Brush
- Bling
Step 1
Collect small shells from the beach and clean in a sink of soapy water. To get them really clean you could add a little bleach, but skip this if doing with children. Allow to air dry.
Step 2
Arrange shells on cone to see what layout you prefer and begin to glue on.
Step 3
Once dry, you are ready to paint the whole thing in a color you choose or you could use spray paint for a quicker result.
Step 4
Now you are ready for decorating your ‘tree’. I used pretty ribbons in teal colors and topped them off with some sparkly gems.
I’m going to make little presents to go under my tree for extra cuteness at Christmas 😉
