For my winter shelf I thought a tree covered in snow would be just what it needed. At first I was going to add snowflakes but once I had the yarn around my “tree” I thought it was perfect – I like the simplicity of this project.
This project took me less than 15 minutes. I could have bought a white Styrofoam cone but I opted for the green one – ya know because trees are green and I wanted a little bit of the green to peak through. However, if I was to do this again I would probably go with the white Styrofoam cone because this green one is a bit messy to work with.

All you need is a foam/styrofoam cone, yarn and pins. |

At the base of your cone attach the yarn with a pin. |

Go around the entire bottom putting pins every inch and a half or so. This creates your bottom layer and keeps your yarn in place. |

You only need pins for the bottom and top layer. Begin wrapping the yarn around the cone until you get to the top. |

I love how my little winter tree turned out and love how well it goes with everything else on my shelf. |
To see how I made the other items on my shelf be sure to check out my Winter Shelf post.

So simple and SO cute! I love how it turned out! I think I’m going to make one with red and white yarn-that way it could fit for Christmas and Valentines!:) I would just love it if you would share over on Inspiration In Progress!
