Decorative Tree

Materials:
*Styrofoam cone
*Monochromatic fabric
*Two or more types of ribbons
*Rhinestones
*Other embellishments (optional)
*Scissors
*All purpose glue

Directions:
*Cut out a semicircle of fabric with a radius somewhat longer than your Styrofoam cone is tall. 
*Wrap fabric around the Styrofoam cone and glue down.  If there is excess fabric at the bottom of the cone, trim it off or glue it to the bottom of the cone.
*Starting from the top of the tree, wrap a ribbon around it.  Glue the ribbon down as you go. 
*Repeat for your other ribbons
*Glue rhinestones onto the tree
*You may wish to top it off with something.  A metallic pompom might work nicely for a star
