Table Decoration by Kerry

Tree

Polystyrene Cone – approx 26 cm in height
3 different sheet s of patterned paper – 1 of each
Card to make 2 stars
Toothpick
Glue
Small amount of ribbon
Something for the trunk – I used a glass jar


1. Cut the patterned paper into 2 cm x 10 cm strips.
2. Glue them together to form a tear drop shape – see photo.











3. Glue the jar to the base of the cone.
4. Starting at the base of the cone, Put glue around the edge of the cone and then place the tear drop shapes around it in alternating colours – see photo.






5. Continue in this manor until the whole cone is cover. For the last couple of rows, I cut the tear drop shapes into 1 cm (x 10 cm) teardrops.
6. Cut out 2 stars from the card. Glue the toothpick between the 2 stars.
7. Place the star into the top of the cone.
Your tree is now finished.


















Place Setting:


Instead of the normal place cards or bon bons (the type with the hat in it), you can make these instead.



Patterned Paper 15 cm x 15 cm
Embellishments to go on the front – or something to put a name on
Something to go inside – I used toffees for mine




a) Take the patterned paper and put double sided tape down one side on the right side edge.
b) Fold it over to form a cylinder shape.










c) Put double sided tape on the inside edge of one edge. Remove the backing from the double sided tape and press down.













d) Put what you want inside.
e) Put double sided tape on the inside edge of the opposite side – see photo to see how it will look. Remove the backing from the double sided tape and press down.






f) Decorate the front as desired.
