How to Make an Easy Dollar Store Ornament Tree DIY
In this post, I'll share with you the process of how to make your own ornament tree using a few simple materials that you can find at your local dollar store.
- styrofoam cone in desired size
- ball-shaped ornaments in desired color s and sizes
- hot glue
- embellishments
- wire cutters
Step 1: Choosing the Ornaments
Step 2: Glue the Ornaments
Start at the bottom of the cone and work your way up. Use hot glue to attach each ornament to the foam cone. Make sure to glue the ornaments in tightly to create a more dense tree.
As you work your way up the cone, alternate the colors and sizes of the ornaments for a more interesting and varied look.
Step 3: Fill in the Gaps
To fill in the gaps between ornaments on this ornament tree, you'll need to add an embellishment. This can be scrap ribbon, faux holly, or scrap greenery from a Christmas garland.
You can also add a few extra ornaments to fill in any gaps or spaces.
Step 4: Add Finishing Touches
Once you've covered the entire cone in ornaments, add a tree topper. You can create your own using a small piece of ribbon or bow, or find a pre-made topper at the dollar store. I chose to leave my tree without a tree topper.
