Create sparkly Christmas trees by coating cardboard cones with glitter and spray adhesive.
Servings 1 Christmas tree makes

What you need

  • Foil Glitter (or large flake glitter)
  • Spray adhesive
  • Cardboard Cone
  • Newspaper or large piece of cardboard
  • Sheet of paper
  • Clear spray paint (optional)

Directions

  1. Place cone on newspaper/cardboard. Spray half the cone with spray adhesive while holding it in the air.
  2. Place a sheet of paper under the sprayed cone and quickly pour glitter on the adhesive section. Use the paper to catch excess glitter so it doesn't stick to the newspaper. Work quickly as glue dries fast.
  3. Spray the other side of the tree and immediately pour glitter over it. Continue until entire tree is covered.
  4. Pat glitter down by hand to ensure everything is secure.
  5. Optional: Spray with clear spray paint to lock in the glitter and prevent flaking.
