Handmade Holidays | Foam for the Holidays

(This is a sponsored post. Yup, I am trying to earn some money over the holiday season. See my disclosure policy here.)

Welcome to Foam for the Holidays Friday here at The Craft Nest. I am so excited to be working with FloraCraft® during this holiday season. Check back each week to see what I have created using their foam products! Below you can get the full instructions for creating this tinsel tree yourself.

I would love for you to create some items using FloraCraft’s® foam. If you do please send me a pic and I will post it here on my blog. You can also find more project ideas using FloraCraft® products at MakeItFunCrafts and at the CraftsandCoffee blog!

Supplies:

• FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam Cone
• Tinsel Garland (mine is from Target)
• Sparkly Star Garland (mine is from Target)
• Star Topper (mine is from Target)
• Straight Pins
• Hot Glue Gun
• Wooden Circle Cut-out
• Mini Spindle
• Paint
• Paint Brush

How To:

1. 

   Use a straight pin and attach one end of the tinsel to the top of the tree. Use a dab of hot glue to secure it to the tree.

2. 

   Continue to wrap tinsel around the tree and work your way down. Use dabs of hot glue as you go.

3. Secure the end of the tinsel using hot glue.
4. Start at the top with the sparkly blue star garland. Use a straight pin to hold it in place and add a dab of hot glue to secure the end.
5. Wrap the garland around the tree in the opposite direction that you wrapped the tinsel.
6. Secure the end of the tinsel with a dab of hot glue.
7. Glue a star topper to the top of the tree.
8. Paint the spindle and wooden circle and glue them together. Or use a candle holder or other find from a thrift store as a pedestal.
9. Display!

I can’t wait to show another project next Friday. So come back by next week to see what I reveal.
