You've seen them...styrofoam trees covered with jute, burlap, fabric, yarn. I adore them!!
All you need for this trio of trees are 3 stryofoam tree shapes, yarn and some glue. 
I used red yarn I had on hand and Tacky glue by Aleene's. It dries quickly and comes out of the bottle in a thin line that is easy to control. Start at the base of the tree and apply a tiny bit of glue. Add your starting end of yarn and let dry for a minute, just so your starting point is sturdy. Now, apply a row of glue - sparingly - you don't need a lot and you don't want it seeping through. Wind the yarn around, applying glue, then yarn...until you reach the top. These each took me over an hour to make. Find a comfy spot - I made them while watching a hockey game.

I love the texture they add to my red and white holiday buffet.
Thanks for stopping by today! Happy December!

Those are so fun ! I saw some cones at the dollar store and almost picked them up thinking to do either this or covering them in glitter! Thanks for the inspiration!
