- Place cone on chipboard and trace with a pencil, the base of the cone and cut out the shape.
- Measure and cut fabric to fit around the cone.
- Wrap a piece of fabric around the cone and trim off excess material, but be sure to leave about 1/2" - 1" of extra fabric around the base and for overlap along the seam.
- Using the hot glue gun, adhere the fabric to the cone.
- Fold the extra fabric at the base to the underside of the cone and adhere it to the inside of the cone with glue.
- Glue a circle of fabric around one side of the chipboard piece. Make it slightly larger and fold the edges around the sides and glue it into place.
- Glue the fabric covered chipboard circle to the bottom of the cone, making sure the fabric covered side is facing out.
- Decorate with coordinating or contrasting ribbon by adding it around the base, wrapping it around the cone or both.
- Feel free to add any other embellishments of your choice.
This step is optional, but if you want to add a base to your tree, apply E-6000 to the top of the candlestick to adhere it to the bottom of the tree. Be sure to let it dry completely before displaying.
