Thanksgiving Holiday weekend! You just came here from Charlene Driggs at Paper and Ink Play ground and you will be going to Alexcia Patterson-Schroll at Make and Mingle. So let’s get started!
Supplies:
Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive
Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots
Helmar Decoupage Craft Paste
Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive – EMPTY
May Arts – String/Pearls
May Arts – Leaves
May Arts – Metallic Velvet
May Arts – Metallic Eyelash Wired
Mist Spray – Silver and Gold
Pearl Puff Paint
Gold Glittered Tulle
Glass Candle Holders
Paper Cones
Extra Tree Toppers (feather boa, jingle bell)
Book Pages
STEP 1:Use Helmar Decoupage Craft Paste to decoupage the book pages onto the paper cones. Let dry.
STEP 2: Mist cones of your choice with Color mist sprays. Let dry.
STEP 3: Adhere May Arts Ribbons to cones in a spiral with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, because it dries clear, drys fast, adheres to almost anything and won’t leak/bleed through fabric ribbons.
STEP 4: Adhere May Arts – Metallic Eyelash Wired, a piece of feather boa or a jingle bell to the points of the cone trees with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, because of it’s properties discussed above and it’s permanent, strong hold once dry.
STEP 5: Gather supplies in the photo below for large tree. Take larger cone and your empty Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive.
Run a bead of Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots along the bottom of the can.
Insert can bottom side up into large cone.
Line top of clean candle stick with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots, which I chose for it’s strong hold on both plastic and glass. Place the lid of the Helmar V2 Vellum Adhesive can centered onto the candle stick. Straighten tree wild glue is still wet. For best results let dry over night.
STEP 6: Using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive adhere tulle to the inside lip of an empty ribbon spool (that has been tested to fit inside the very bottom of the small tree.
Run a bead of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive along the bottom of the inside of your tree’s cone.
Insert Spool with tulle (completely dry) into bottom of tree. Use Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to adhere the bottom of the tree to the glass candle stick.
STEP 7: For middle sized cone I used a broken ribbon spool and a 6″ tulle by the yard spool. Taking my Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive I ran a bead of it along one side of the 6″ tube and adhered it to the center of the inside of the broken ribbon spool. Then once set, I ran a bead of Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive around the top of the 6″ tube and adhered this center into the middle cone. Once set I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to adhere the bottom of the tree to the glass candle stick.
