Christmas DIY

Hi guys, Christmas is about to come, and I've prepared a thing you can make yourself to give to someone special ♫, or just to keep it at home and decorate the house with it.

It's a mini Christmas tree, the steps to make it are really simple and I love how it looks, it's so cute 

The things we need:

☞ A gorgeous pine cone (with a nice one we're done, when we'll end it's gonna look gorgeous ^^)

☞ Cotton balls/ cotton

☞ Scissors

☞ A mini pot

☞ Green spray or green paint

☞ White paint

☞ A little brush and a bigger one if we don't have the spray

☞ Glitter (optional)

☞ A beautiful ribbon

☞ Super glue

Now we have it all let's start choosing a pine cone and cleaning it a little with a paper napkin. Cleaning the pine cone is important to paint it better.

Now we have our pine cone ready it's time to paint it! If we have a spray to do it be sure not to spray it really close 'cause is not going to look nice... I painted my pine cone with green emerald tempera mixed with a bit of white.

Now we've painted all the pine cone we're going to add a bit of detail painting with white the centres of every "scale" of our pine cone, don't know if you're understanding me but with the image below it's gonna be easier to. 

The most important thing that has to have a Christmas tree, the star! To make mine I've drawn a little star on a cardboard and cut it out. To make it more brighter I've painted the star with a yellow coloured pencil. And I've stuck the star with super glue.

After making the last details to our tree we have to put some pieces of paper on the bottom of the pot to make like a base and then we put the cotton balls. 

When we have the cotton inside the pot we put the completed tree. The last thing we have to do is spread some glitter on it. I couldn't find normal glitter and I've spread some glittered eyeshadow. 

 The last step is decorate the mini pot. I cut this gold ribbon and I've fix it with a double-face tape but you can do it with normal transparent tape, in fact it's better.

Sorry for my messy nail

And that's all. Can you see? Is really easy to do and, for me at least, it looks really cute. I hope you like this post and have a nice Christmas!

Bye ♥
