Onto this weeks craft tutorial. 

I am going to show you how to create a cute Yarn Tree centre piece for your Festive Table.

What you need:
A Cardboard box or piece of cardboard (I used a cereal box)
Plastic Wrap
Tape
Yarn
Gonis Design Freezer* (Glues the yarn into the shape and keeps it stable)
Gonis Dekopointer* (to add deco effects to finished tree)
Gonis Finisher Lack* (to seal project and make it water resistant)


Roll up the cardboard to form a cone shape and tape to hold it's form


 Cut off the edge and make sure it can stand properly.


Wrap the cone in plastic wrap.


Wind the yarn haphazardly, but firmly around the cone.



Using a sponge dab the Design Freezer* over the entire cone, be sure to cover all sides. Allow to dry.

Once dry remove the cone from the bottom and cut the edges straight.


Using the Finisher, cover the tree. To add a little sparkle I used Gonis Eiskristal * (glass splinters) to give it that "Snowy" effect.

Add Dekopointer* drops throughout to look like tree ornaments.


And there it is, a quick and easy festive table decoration.

Now it is your turn!

I will be sharing this tutorial with my talented Link Ups :)
