DIY: Felt Shingle Trees
Decorate your mantle for the holiday with these simple and festive felt shingle trees. You’ll need a Styrofoam cone (quantity and size is your choice), felt in shades of green, a marking pen, a circular object for tracing (such as the top of a soda bottle), scissors, straight pins and sequins. Here’s how to make them:
- Start by tracing circles of your round object on the felt with a marking pen.
- Cut out the circles.
- Place a sequin on one of the straight pins, and press that through the center of one of the felt circles.
- Starting at the bottom, pin the circle into the Styrofoam cone. Continue pinning the circles in a row around the cone. When you start the next row, overlap the circles slightly.
- Keep pinning until you reach the top of the cone.
