Creating a Glitter Tree

So you don't have to purchase one

By Cassie W. December 6, 2012
This is an easy DYI craft that makes a cute holiday decor as well as very cheap. You can purchase most of the items you need from a dollar store. I know mine carries glue, the Styrofoam cones, and glitter
Supplies
Styrofoam cones in multi-sizes
glitter
glue or mod podge
paint brush
bowls
stick or small paint brush
Instructions:
  • Set up your station with one bowl for each glitter color.
  • Insert stick or small brush into bottom of cone to hold without getting messy
  • Using paint brush, brush mod podge onto Styrofoam cone.
  • Coat with glitter over your bowl to catch access glitter.
  • Remove stick and set into bowl to dry.
*Now a couple notes: If you use white glitter and a green Styrofoam like I did, then you will probably have to add a second layer of glitter for a nice white look. Secondly, don't leave your glitter out or you might end up with two little girls with glittery hair and glitter everywhere!
I hope you enjoy this fun and super easy craft.
