Christmas Tree Cones are easy to make, look elegant and minimalist.

The cones that I make are easier, without cutting a circle. If you have all the tools to make a perfect circle, you can use this tutorial.

Materials:

• 2 poster boards (or cereal boxes for smaller cones)
• 3 gift wrappers
• 3 small ornaments
• Scissors
• Craft knife
• Double-sided tape
• 3 small pine cones (optional)

Instructions:

1. Roll poster board into a cone shape. Cut poster board based on your cone size. Apply double-sided tape on one side of the poster board.
   
2. Roll the side of poster board with double-sided tape into cone shape. Don’t worry if the cone doesn’t have a perfect sharp tip. Apply double-sided tape to seal the cone.
   
3. Trim the excess at the bottom end of the cone until it stands straight.
   
   
4. Measure and cut the gift wrapper enough to cover the poster board cone.
   
5. Apply double-sided tape on one side of the gift wrapper. Stick that side to the poster board cone.
   
6. Roll the gift wrapper until it covers the poster board cone. Again, don’t worry if the cone doesn’t have a perfect sharp tip. Apply double-sided tape to seal the cone. Trim the excess.
   
7. Trim the excess at the bottom of the cone.
   
8. Snip the pointed end of the cone to allow a small topper to sit on.
   
9. Put a small ornament on top of the cone. Mine are gold spray painted berries.
   
10. You may repeat the above steps to make different size cones.
