Lace Christmas Tree

Today I’m sharing a holiday craft put together in maybe 10 minutes, which is perfect for all of the hustle and bustle this week. It’s a simple Christmas tree decoration made out of a foam cone form, lace & beads!

When I was photographing it to share, some snow miraculously fell in my house to make a cameo in my picture. We’re that corny good.

Alright, down to the details… I originally got the idea from a friend who had made cute little trees using foam and Christmasy ribbons during a craft party. I didn’t want to copy exactly what she had done of course (although her’s were really cute!), so this is a sypsie version : ) To make the tree, I used the foam form, some lace and a gold beaded strand I found at Joanns for $2.50 each. I also used pins that I already owned but they’re very cheap to pick up as well.

I attached the lace first, which was perfect because it had the hemmed side, and a ruffled side, making the lace stand out and look less cone-ish. I used the sewing pins to attach it every few inches, and just wrapped it around until she was fully covered.

To attach the gold “garland” I also used pins at the top of the cone to attach it and then wrapped it around until the spacing was good. To keep it in place, I just dabbed a few drops of hot glue every few inches and it worked like a charm. When I got to the end of the strand, I pinned it underneath the cone to hide the awkward stopping point.

Now for the topper! I went into my bead stash and found these pearls (I keep all of my old costume jewelry that I don’t wear anymore and cut the necklaces to keep the beads) and some metal pins that are used for making jewelry.

Then, it was just kind of loosey-goosey… I added beads to the pins and stuck them in the top of the foam cone until the foam was no longer visible. I used more beads in the center and less on the sides to give it a tapered look, and the pins went into the foam very easily.

After I was happy with the top, I was done!

The whole project cost less than $10 and there were multiple sized of foam, so you could even make a little forest if you wanted and use different colored beads. This little guy now sits on my kitchen counter and I love how the neutral colors and metallics of it can even make something as simple as foam look good.
