I needed a distraction from the events going on in the country right now so I decided to decorate for the holidays early. Starting with a darling succulent Christmas tree centerpiece! This compact tree adds a nice pop of color to the table. It would be cute in an apartment, too! b. Wrap the cone with yarn or twine close enough to hide away the styrofoam surface. I used white linen yarn for this tutorial.To get started, you will need ultra fine glitter. Getting ultra fine glitter is what makes all the difference with this craft. The trees get a smoother sparkle appearance compared to chunkier glitter. Bonus, I find extra fine glitter easier to wipe up:) Fill a sink with water and place the cone in the water. Don’t push it down, just let it sink and soak in the water on its own. It will be heavy and pretty waterlogged when you remove it. Christmas is the perfect time to encourage your child's creative side. Homemade decorations will give your festive preparations a personal touch, and can be a lovely keepsake to pass down the generations.
