DIY Pom Pom Ribbon Christmas Tree Decoration

Project Overview

Create a DIY ribbon Christmas tree using pom poms for a cozy, handmade decoration. Perfect for adding a little festive charm to any room.

If you love handmade holiday decor, this project is right up your alley.

A pom pom ribbon Christmas tree is a fun and simple way to add color and texture to your space.

It's great for crafters of any skill level and easy enough to make while watching your favorite holiday movie.

Plus, it's the kind of decoration that makes everyone ask where you bought it, only you'll know it came from your craft table.

Since your cone may be a different size than mine, you may need more or less ribbon trim.

So this is really easy to make, I promise! The hardest part is making the cone.

Start with the 12x12 cardstock sheet and make a cone.

To do this, I tied a string around a pencil, held the end of the string in one corner, and used it like a compass to draw a pie shape from one corner to the next.

Or if you prefer, you can just buy apaper mache cone.

I glued three strands onto the cone at a time.

Start at the bottom and glue them into place using a hot glue gun.

Wrap the trim around, gluing a few spots along the way until you meet back up with where you started.

Glue right next to the raw edge and trim off the excess.

Keep repeating until the cone is completely covered.

So easy and it looks so cute!

Don't put those craft supplies away yet. Here are a few more fun things to make for the holiday season!
