Easy DIY Burlap Christmas Tree

December 2, 2013 By: Leslie2 Comments

I had some supplies on hand and was in the mood to make some Christmas crafts.  I’ll admit my first two ideas didn’t work out too well.  I saw burlap trees at Target that had scalloped pieces all around with glittered tips.  Looked simple enough, so I gave it a try. Well, I was cutting forever and did not have anywhere close to the amount of scalloped pieces of burlap, so I gave up.  I also had some felt on hand and thought  I could wrap it around the cone in layers and just cut the strips about half way up to make little flaps.  I did this and it made a very terrible looking tree.  But then, on Black Friday when I was shopping I saw these pretty cone tree crafts at Jo-Ann Fabrics.  The one just had burlap wrapped around the cone and then a beaded garland.  I knew that seemed more reasonable.

I was right about that.  This was a very simple and easy Christmas tree craft.  I had everything I needed in my supplies.  I had a Styrofoam cone, burlap, string beads, and glue. I started with my roughly cut burlap square.

I applied some craft tacky glue around the cone.

Then, I just wrapped the burlap around the cone.

Fortunately, the glue dries clear, because it looked pretty bad at this point.  I cut the extra off the bottom.  But, when I stood it up the tip did not glue together too well, since my cone had a flat top and not a pointed tip.  I decided to stuff some burlap on the top inside my burlap to give it something to adhere to.  It looked pretty messy, but it did the trick.

I had the string of beads from the thrift shop.  I just bought them last month thinking they would be great for some Christmas crafts.

They were well worth the 50 cents!  I just used one small strand.  I used hot glue for this step.  I thought it would adhere better.  Plus, I wasn’t worried about burning my fingers through the beads like I would have been worried about with using hot glue to apply the burlap.  The hot glue worked perfectly.

Now, I have a cute little burlap tree for my craft room shelves.

This was a real quick and easy craft to add something new to my Christmas décor.
