Hemp Cord Christmas Tree DIY

Supplies:

• Hemp cording (jute, twine, yarn are good alternatives)
• Liquid fabric stiffener
• Plastic wrap
• Cone shape (template here)

Directions:

1. Wrap your cone shape in plastic wrap. Tape to secure the plastic wrap.

2. Dip cording (jute, twine or yarn) in fabric stiffener. Ring out excess stiffener.

3. Begin wrapping the cording around the plastic cone. It will stick into place.

4. Continue to wrap the cording in a random pattern around the cone. Leave spaces here and there so you can use a battery operated tea light candle to make your tree glow!

5. Add as much or as little cording as you like. Some trees may have more and that’s okay! They will all look a bit different.

6. Dry overnight.

7. Slowly pull the paper cone out of the dried cording.

8. I glued on some silver star confetti that to one of the trees for decoration. Pretty, isn’t it!?

9. Use a battery operated tea light candle to make your village of trees shine bright during the holiday nights.
