SENIOR LADY: VALENTINE'S DAY TREES!

I usually visit my local Dollar Store two or three

 times a month.  Sometimes I am looking for

inspiration for my next project. I was strolling

up and down several aisles when I noticed that

the store had just put their new Valentine's Day

merchandise on display.  One of the shelves had

mini floral cones on it.  I immediately began to

smile.  An idea came to mind! A Valentine's Day

centerpiece could be made with these cones.

VALENTINE'S DAY TREES CENTERPIECE

NEED:

3-2.9 inch x 6.9 inch floral foam cones

9 ft. Wire Mauve Tinsel Garland 

25 ft Wire Purple Tinsel Garland

Red Rose Petals, 300 PCS Count

Red Mum stem

 Purple Rose Bush

Purple crayon

Tools:

Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Scissors

 

DIRECTIONS:

VALENTINE TREE #1:

Remove plastic covering from the cone.

Apply  purple crayon all over the cone

(Make sure cone is completely covered).

Make small circle with the end of the

Mauve colored tinsel. Glue it on the top

of the cone. Make circle of glue around 

side of the cone. Wrap the rest of the 

tinsel around the entire cone. Press

 the tinsel into hot glue as you continue

wrapping the cone. Make sure each row

 of tinsel is close together. The loose hearts

 on the tinsel, can be used to cover up any 

 gaps on the cone. I added a purple rose on

 top of the tree.

VALENTINE TREE #2:

Don't remove plastic from cone. The

hot  glue and tinsel adheres to it very

well. Make a small circle with end of

purple tinsel. Glue it on top of the cone.

Wrap rest of the tinsel tightly around the

 entire cone. Make sure each row is close

 together, to avoid gaps on the cone.  The

 tinsel can be secured with hot glue. Press 

the tinsel into the glue as it's wrapped the

 around the cone.  A purple rose can be

 placed on top of the tree.

VALENTINE TREE #3

 

Don't remove the plastic from the cone.

Glue rose petals on the top of the cone

so that the tip is covered up. I glued

the rose petals upside down on the

   cone until it was completely covered.

   The pearls can be added on top of the

   petals; it's optional. A red mum can be

   on top of the tree.

   

TIPS:

   **Bows can also be placed on top of the trees.

   **The cones can also be  wrapped with yard

   or ribbon.

   **The rose petals can also  be enhanced with 

   tiny buttons or gems.
