The Grinch Inspired Christmas Trees

Each year for Christmas, we choose a fun theme that our family loves and we all have fun decorating our home and seeing it all come together. I love that each year, we implement handmade decorations. In our home. In our family, the holidays equal crafts, crafts, and more crafts. Who’s ready to craft with us?!

This year, we decided to use fun, bright colors for our holiday decor instead of the the traditional red and green. So what better theme than, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. YESSS!!!! I love an inexpensive craft so I thought it would be fun to create Christmas trees using those christmas bows everyone knows and loves. Click link below for tutorial and come back for my easy to follow instructions.

MATERIALS:

Stick-on Christmas Bows (Found in Joann Stores, Walmart, or Target)
Large Cardboard
Hot Glue Gun + Glue Sticks
Christmas Tree Decor (Optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut your cardboard in three sizes shown in illustration below.
Starting with the base, glue the sides together with the hot glue gun.
With the second piece of cardboard, create a slight cone, but don’t full close the top. Glue the sides together with the hot glue gun. Place this cardboard inside the base you previously made and connect them together with hot glue gun.
With the third piece of cardboard, create a tight cone. Glue the sides together with the hot glue gun. Place this cardboard inside the 2nd tier you previously made and connect them together with hot glue gun.
Once the skeleton of your tree is created, this is where you can start to glue your bows onto your tree. There are so many color combinations you can come up with. You can create a solid color tree or you can create a tree with two colors or multiple. Choose colors that matches your holiday decor.
Adding extra decor is optional. Simple trees are beautiful too! But if you decide to add something extra, use inexpensive christmas ornaments, Pompoms, etc. Just have fun with it.

If you follow me on Instagram, you would have watched me create this Whoville house from scratch. It was so much fun painting this monster of a house! I made it from styrofoam and I painted it to look like a 2d house. What do you think?
