I thought so - that's why I chose this gift over the Christmas stocking I showed you last time...
It was made using a 3" styrofoam base, covered with some of our current ribbons.
I cut the ribbon into 1" pieces, doubled them, then pinned them to the base using VERY short little straight pins.
It takes quite a bit of time to make - and it took even longer because Melie decided I needed help! LOL Yep, that cat sure does love ribbon!
I'd made a couple of these about 4 years ago - one was made using DSP that we carried at the time...
Here's a close up of how I made it, in hopes you can get a better feel for how I did it.
And here's the one I made using ribbons current at that time.
For this year's version...
...I purchased a 3 " styrofoam cone, a 3-1/2" wooden base, and a napkin ring. I painted the wooden items with green acrylic paint. I cut the tree skirt using red felt and our 3" circle die - it was a PERFECT fit! Then I decorated the skirt using glitter glass. I also sprayed the tree with adhesive and sprinkled our very fine gold glitter all over it.
I was very pleased with the outcome!
