12/11/2023 0 Comments Christmas pompom wreathI topped off my ribbon trees with a little ribbon bow that I bought at the dollar store (meant for a miniature tree, I imagine), but you could easily make your own, or just not top the tree with anything in particular. Glue the loops of ribbon to the paper triangle base, starting at the bottom and overlapping the ribbon loops as you go up the tree. Glue the "right" sides of the ribbon together, so you get a slightly pointed loop shape of ribbon. Cut short lengths of ribbon (about 1.5-2" long) and glue the two ends of the piece of ribbon together using a low temperature hot glue gun. I used ribbon that reminded me of striped candy canes because I wanted to play off the felt gingerbread house I was making for the center of the wreath. The trunk of the tree is simply a stick from my backyard glued to the back of the paper triangle tree shape. And I ended up liking that slight curve to the finished tree that it gave, so rather than creating a template, I just bent all my cardstock in half and cut all my trees that way. I folded my carcstock in half so I could easily cut a perfect, symmetrical triangle for the basic tree shape.
