I love the different kinds of Christmas trees you can make with craft products. You can paint small artificial trees, create a Christmas tree from a paper doily, or even make them from felt or wood. All of these different options provide so much freedom to add your own unique style and flare to your Christmas decor.

How to Make a Faux Nail Head Christmas Tree

Supplies needed to make a faux nail head Christmas Tree

• Styrofoam cone
• Ribbon (2 colors)
• Straight Pins
• Hot Glue

Instructions

Start ribbon at the top of the cone. Secure with a straight pin into the Styrofoam. I used up to 6 pieces of ribbon at a time with one straight pin.

Stretch ribbon to bottom of cone and secure with a straight pin. Overlap each ribbon piece slightly. Cut off your ribbon. Repeat until you are all the way around the cone.

Hot glue all of the ribbon ends onto the bottom of the cone.

Add straight pins into any pattern you desire for a nail head effect. You can go wild with your pattern. Or just add a few here and there.

Add additional straight pins to the top if desired. I used some round head ones on the top.

When you are satisfied with your nail head pattern, your tree is ready for display! You can make one or many of these to display around your home in anyway you choose. You could do these with a variety of different colored straight pins, ribbon, and other colorful decorations.
