This is part of a series of posts dedicated to easy “tree themed” crafts for Christmas. You can see the first edition here: Thumbtack Trees. If you have a “crafty tree” post you’ve done either this season or last, email me! I’d love to feature it as part of this series! {landeeseelandeedo@gmail.com}
You know I love me some scrapbook paper. So it makes sense I would want to use some for one of my tree projects, right? Were you also aware that there is such a thing as GLITTER cardstock? It’s like my detestation of working with glitter (yet loving the look) and my adoration of cardstock had a baby…. after they got married, of course. 🙂
So, I picked myself up a few sheets and then got out my Martha Stewart Hydrangea Punch which I bought a while ago while working on my spring mantel. I knew that $10 for the punch would not go to waste!
I punched out a bunch of flowers and began pinning them on my styrofoam cone, starting at the bottom.
Repeat until your styrofoam cone is covered in glittery flowers!
PS Happy 11-11-11!!!!

OMG that is soooo cute! I am going to have to find some of that gorgeous glittery scrapbook paper!
Glitter cardstock I can do. Whimsical and pretty trees. I already have that punch so I will be making some of these.
I love these; they’re absolutely gorgeous!
Do you have any idea how friggin’ cute those are!?!? Oh wait, you do, they’re sitting in front of you.
They’d be so fun on round styrofoam balls for other times of the year too!
Now where did I put that Michael’s coupon……
So Pretty!
These are so pretty! What a clever idea!

Hi Landeelu, what beautiful trees. So well done and so cute. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
So gorgeous – love that sparkle! I linked these to a lineup on my blog of my favorite topiary tree tutorials today. Thanks for inspiring! http://www.positivelysplendid.com/2011/11/by-dozen-topiary-christmas-trees.html
Cute! My husband won’t allow me to use glitter or he’ll lose his mind vaccuming after me lol.
How many sheets of cardstock did you need/how long did it take for a tree?
I saw this idea when you first posted it and pinned it for later. I FINALLY got around to making them and they are getting all sorts of complements. Someone asked me where I bought them! Ha. Thank you so much for sharing your idea. 🙂
