So I made these in the first week of December, it’s about time I posted it, huh? I thought my ideas was creative, until I told people what I did then everyone I told then passed along information to me of where they had seen it and asked if that’s where I got the idea… No I didn’t see them anywhere I just wanted to be creative… So while in Joanne Fabrics I thought it would be fun to make 3 different height cones covered with different materials/textures in the Christmas colors.
So I purchased the necessary items I needed and was ready to get to work! The first one I made was the tallest and I covered it in white Boas and then added a sprig of holly, it’s probably my favorite one.
I just wrapped and wrapped and pinned and pinned until it was covered with the Boas, Greening Pins are fantastic tools I think I could think of a gazillion things to use them for.
Then I decided to tackle the most difficult one… the red one, it was so hard and still doesn’t look the greatest. I used red wood garland - let me tell you this stuff does NOT have as much give as you think it would/should. Now I have little wholes all over that I am still trying to figure out how to fill/cover. 
First I covered the cone with red ribbon, so that’s what you could see between the beads as I knew it wouldn’t be perfect. Once I finished pinning the garland on I poured hot glue into the top to secure the beads so I could then cut the remaining beads off, then I topped it with a gold bow and it turned out pretty stinkin’ cute.
Then I took on the one that took me HOURS, actually DAYS to complete. The medium size cone I wrapped in beautiful glittery, shinny green ribbon and then proceeded to painstakingly pin on little glass ornaments one. at. a. time. But I have to say it’s my favorite, okay so I’ve now said that three times but they are all my favorite and I wish I had taken a picture of them all together but I didn’t, so…
I had a lot of fun making them, this year I also made a garland and a wreath and I loved it - I’m turning out more like my mom than I thought I was, and it’s a great thing - my mom is a fantastic woman.
