Supplies Used:
- Foam florist cone
- Nordic print ribbon (or whatever wide ribbon you’d like to suit your style)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Fabric scissors
- Small piece of cardboard
- Star cookie cutter
- Pen or pencil
- Toothpick
- I cut about a 5 inch length of my ribbon with fabric scissors first.
And then cut that length of ribbon into thirds.
Then, I took one of the thirds and folded it over with the red side facing out.
And made a loop.
To attach it to foam cone, I started at the base an inch or two from the bottom, applied a little hot glue to the top of the ribbon loop, and pressed in place. I used a little glue between the two ends at the top of the loop too.
From there, I just repeated the whole process working my way around the base of the cone.
And then I worked my way up to the next layer on the cone until it was completely covered.
For the star, I used a cookie cutter I already had to trace on a small piece of cardboard.
Then just cut it out, jabbed a toothpick into the bottom, and stuck it into the top of the foam cone.
