A simple cone can become elegant fringe Christmas trees in just a few steps.
I might be obsessed with fringe. But I’m not worrying about it. Instead, I’m running after my love and decorating my holiday mantel with a trio of fringe Christmas trees.
Ridiculously easy to make!
Start With Cardboard Cones.
Cones can be purchased, which makes it a bit easier. But if youare looking to save a few dollars, you can roll a thin sheet of cardboard (like the back of a notepad) into a perfectly fine cone.
Add Glamour to Your Trees: Paint the Cardboard

Rather than giving that earthy-look of cardboard peeking through the fringe, I wanted a bit more glamour for my Christmas trees.
So, I then painted the cones. I used gold and turquoise paint, two of my current favorite colors.
Wrap the Cones With Fringe

After the paint dried, I wrapped the cones with fringe that I ordered online. Hot glue worked perfectly.
The spacing of the fringe depends on how much of the background color you want to see.
Enjoy Your Holiday Décor!

I’m in love with how the little grouping of Christmas trees shimmers in the changing light of the day.
