I'm a little bummed that I never really got around to making
much fall decor. I used to have so much cute
decor for fall and Thanksgiving. But when
you move as far away from home as I
did, you don't get to take very
much with you! So even though I intended
on starting up a "fall decor" bin, It'll have to
wait til next year!
So... I have started Christmas!!! I love Christmas!
I'm excited to make some fun stuff!
I'm starting out small though because I want
Thanksgiving to come before I get
too crazy with Christmas! Only a few days away!
Here is a little something I threw together today
after I finally cleared my Halloween stuff
off the shelf!
What you'll need:
- Card stock
- Elmer's glue ( or whatever kind you have)
- Hot glue
- Jute twine
Get your paper
Now roll it up into a funnel/cone.
Leave a tiny hole in the top.
Use your Elmer's and glue
the flap shut so that your paper stays
this shape.
Now take the end of your jute and thread
it through the hole in the tip of your cone.
Pull it down through the bottom and
tie it into a knot.
Pull it tight so the knot is at the tip of your
funnel but not pulling through.
Add a small amount of hot glue onto
the tip of the funnel.
Now start wrapping your jute around, making
sure you are covering the paper.
Continue wrapping the jute around the cone
adding hot glue every few wraps.
Be sure to push the jute tight against itself so the
paper doesn't show through ( especially if you
use bright paper like me! I didn't have the right
color)!
When you get to the bottom, cut the jute off leaving
about a 1 inch tail.
Cut the excess paper off to make it flat and able
to stand.
Now add hot glue to the inside and attach your
tail there.
That's it!
Add them to your decor!
