crafting making macaroni Christmas trees with your children

January 11th, 2009

 
I have a entertaining and lifestyle company and I love to create fun, pretty things everyday. The most fun I have is when I am doing fun things with my sons. We re-created a great craft that I did when I was a child and that my parents still have in their home and put out each Christmas. Making these adorable sparkly creations is easy, relaxing, and inexpensive. I have three sons so they each chose a color and made a tree.

1) purchas tree shaped cones
2) spray paint your trees styrofoam base the color you plan to paint
macaroni- let dry
3) I used three three types of macaroni shells, regular seashell
medium bowties, and a spiral type shell, if you look closely you
should be able to see them
4) then just start gluing them on and filling in gaps until they are
covered completely
5) then spray paint them, make sure you use a spray paint that
will not melt your styrofoam
6) while paint is wet , sparkle with a glitter dust, I used a whitishy
silver on the silver tree and a gold on the other 2 trees
7) top with a star or christmas ball and Voila
