These little frosted trees are easy to make and can be used in a variety of ways – cupcake toppers, ornaments or for just a fun little splash of holiday décor.
To make these trees, roll green cardstock into a cone shape and trim the bottom. Insert a shish kabob stick into the cone and secure with hot glue. Note: I cut my sticks into 5 inch lengths.
Cover the tree in Mod Podge or craft glue and roll in Epsom salt. You can use course or Kosher salt or glitter depending on the look you want.
I put my trees into a box filled with floral foam and covered the top with white gift basket shreds.
A grosgrain ribbon finishes off the box.
Pretty little frosty trees and a note to self { polish the silver }.

ReplyDeleteI love how these trees look just like the little trees that are so popular this year! What a great, inexpensive idea!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog and am enjoying flipping through the pretty, but it's driving me slightly crazy that I've seen "grosgrain" ribbon misspelled as "gross grain" a few times already! Nothing gross about the grain. :) I thought you'd like to know if you use it fairly often!
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable & so simple! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much everyone for the sweet comments. And a special thank you to Lisa for pointing out my misspelling of grosgrain. I think I've perhaps misspelled it my entire life... eeep.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet idea! I showed this off tonight!
