Some of you might remember my poster board Christmas Trees I made a couple years ago.

And my DIY BLINGED OUT CHRISTMAS TREE tutorial.
Here’s another way we can use Dollar Tree’s poster board cone tree.

DIY DOLLAR TREE YARN CHRISTMAS TREE
The supplies I used:
- poster board
- duck tape
- chenille yarn
- jingle bells
- scissors
- ruler and pencil
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- paint
To make the Christmas tree shaped cone, take the poster board and cut a square. For my taller tree I cut a 16″ x 16″.
- large tree 16″ x 16″
- medium tree 14″ x 14″
- small tree 12″ x 12″
- smallest tree 10″ x 10″
Make a cone with the poster board by putting pressure on one corner, curling up the other end of the poster board to shape a cone, tape the poster board together and trim the bottom of the cone.
To view how I made my cone you can check out the tutorial here → DIY OLD BOOK WREATH.
To tone down the white poster board, I painted my cone the color of the yarn.
Place a stream of hot glue to the bottom edge of your cone and apply the yarn.
Continue gluing and wrapping the yarn around the cone all the way to the tip of the cone.
Do not cut the yarn. Wrap more layers to the cone as desired. I wrapped in no patterns, I like the yarn going in different directions on the cone.
Cut the yarn leaving about a 3 inch strand, wrap the cut end of the yarn around the tip of the cone making sure the end is covered.
To embellished my tree I am using Dollar Tree gold jingle bells, hot gluing them to the tree.
This is such a cute and simple craft to do, the chenille yarn gives the appearance of velvet ribbon, don’t you think?

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
These are so pretty!
Thank you so much Michelle.
I absolutely love these trees, Terrie! Have not ever used chenille yarn but it adds that wonderful texture I adore!
Thanks Christine. I have seen the yarn in the boxes several times when in Dollar Tree. I finally picked some up for the trees, great material to use.
Terrie I am obsessed with the idea of lots of these on one long piece of furniture, a hutch, a tv console, an entry table… LOTS of them in all shapes and sizes. Your trees are just beautiful. I love that they all match and the possibilities are endless…. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
I agree with you Tammy, the thought of them on a piece of furniture will look amazing. Thank you!
These are cute with the jingle bells.
Leave to youth make your own cone.
Pinned!
Thanks Cindy. I love the little touch of gold from the bells.
How cute are these! I made similar ones last Christmas but like yours better! Thanks for sharing.
I made some last year and the year before, so easy and fun to make. Thank you Jodi. You’re so sweet.
I love making the yarn trees, they can be so versatile. Yours turned out beautiful Terrie.
Thanks Corine. Everyone loves a cute tree and a simple craft. This is both!
