Supplies:
1 10" Styrofoam cone
Friskars Petal by Petal Punch or similar (I purchased mine at JoAnn's)
2 12" squares of coordinating scrapbook paper
Low temp glue gun and glue sticks
Spray adhesive
Glitter
Spray Snow
With your punch, cut approx. 65 large petals and 65 small petals. Roll the pointed tip of each around a small dowel or paint brush to make it curl up. Beginning with the large petals, attached them to the cone around the bottom first; overlapping slightly as you go around. Continue with a 2nd row placing the first petal in between 2 below it and overlap as you did the first row. Do the same for the remaining rows. Switch to the small petal and continue the same way until you reach the top. To finish you take 4 small petals and turn them upside down so the point is facing up this time. Glue them so they come to a point above the top of the cone. If desired, spray the entire tree with adhesive and sprinkle with glitter. Alternatively, you can spray lightly with snow.
O Tannenbaum, how lovely are your branches & sparkly too!
