Begin attaching to the bottom of the cone with a hot glue gun, securing the inch border in place and leaving the streamers hanging down freely.

Step 6

Work upwards making sure there are no gaps or mache showing through the pom poms.

 

Add a pom pom to the top of the mache cone to create a point.

Step 7

Cut 2cm off the top of the mache cone, Pull out lengths of wool and thread up the middle of the tree through the hole so you can pull down and begin wrapping around your mache cone.

 

Wrap in different directions to create a textured look and so your wool will stay in place.

Step 8
Once covered, work back up to the top of the mache cone, cut your wool and push the end back through the top of the cone using a needle or the end of a fork.

Step 9
For the rope cone, repeat the process of cutting the top of the mache cone off and pulling the rope through, for this design you are going to work so that you are wrapping neatly to create a different effect to the wool.

Step 10
Apply a layer of glue down the mache cone as you pull your rope around so you can secure the rope in place.

Step 11

For the lollipop cone you will need to cut your lollipop sticks so you can begin hot glue gunning them around the base of your tree.

 

Create another layer this time overlapping the bottom layer with your sticks.
