O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree

Much Pleasure you do give me.

Hi its Bridget here, and because its the silly season I have a Christmas craft for you.

What you need:

Stryofoam cones or paper cones

Twine

Bead Garland

Helmars Premium Craft glue

Helmars 450 quick dry glue.

I was able to get my styrofoam cones from Riot craft store, but they were running out of stock so I needed to make a small cone as I wanted three cones, here is how.

Make a paper disc, the height of your cone will be determined by the radius of your circle. Cut a wedge out of your circle. Use Helmar's Premium Craft Glue on the edges, then bring the cut sides of your disc together. I did find using the paper cone more fiddly when adding twine, so I would recommend trying to find the styofoam cones.

Now onto the decorating. Back in August I did a wine bottle craft

I wanted to do a Christmas craft that wasn't over the top and matched my decor. So this is what I came up with.

Using Helmar Premium Craft glue, wrap the twine around your cone. You dont need to cover the whole cone in glue just a few drops as you go. Keep the rows nice and close to each other.

After the glue has dried it is time to add some bling. I Love using Helmars 450 Quick Dry Glue for all my christmas crafts, I no longer get those nasty burns!

Just put a blob of Helmars quick dry glue where you want to place your bead garland and hold for about 30 secs. I repeated this every 4-5 beads until I reached the top of the cone and then I cut of the extra beads. Let this dry for a few minutes before you start on the other rows. You dont have to hold the beads as long as the bottom row supports the beads.
