TUTORIAL TUESDAY: Suess Christmas Tree's {DIY & Giveaway}

In case you haven't noticed, I kind of like grinch green for Christmas. A funkier twist on the tradition red and green. ;) So after reading somewhere were someone made trees out of poster board I had to try it and give it my grinchy spin. Now of course you can make these any color you like. The good part? I'm not only going to show you how to make these, I'm going to give away 2(!) kits to make your own! All you have to do is buy the poster board ($.75 at the DG) So after you check out this tut, scroll down and make a comment to be entered to win. I'll draw 2 names on friday.

{Finished project}


{2 kits}


Supplies needed:

3 pieces of poster board
tape
glue gun/glue sticks
spray paint (optional)
various lace, trims and fabric

So we start out with 3 sheets of poster board (2 shown here)


then you start rolling it up where its small on the top, like a dunce hat. ;) (it was hard to get a good pic, I couldn't get back far enough to get it all in so I took two...)



now, holding the shape of the cone use a pencil to draw a line where you need to cut it off...


then cut and tape it. you'll probably have to cut the bottom off level...



this is what it looks like after you cut it in the right shape...


ok, so you do this 3 times cutting them off shorter each time and you end up with this......now notice the dull matte black? I wanted glossy so enters........


SPRAY PAINT! ;)....glossy black spray paint to be exact!


put them suckers in a box and you can spray without worrying about getting it on everything. (since I did it on the deck b/c it was raining)


and now, don't they look MUCH better?!?!!


now you need some crafting supplies (leave comment below to be entered to win one of 2 kits I'm giving away!)


cut out some triangles...they don't have to be perfect or the same size, just wing it! Then start gluing them to the yarn/string...


then glue the bunting to the tree. I only put glue on the back of the tree at each new level to make sure I had it placed right before permanently gluing it in place..


I didn't take photo's while I glued the lace and bows on but I'm sure you can figure that out. ;)

Close up of the details..




for the curly-q tops I took 3 pipe cleaners bent them in half and glued them in the top then curled them around my finger...




and here are the 2 kits I'm giving away.....enter to win by leaving a comment below.






Love it? Pin it!

Thanks for looking!
