1 Styrofoam cone (7 inches)

2 packages of tea bags (approx. 10-12 of each)

Bow (optional)

Toilet paper tube (optional)

Remove tea bags from the boxes. Sort by colors if you have different types.

Layer the tea bags on the cone alternating the tea types or colors of packaging.

Glue each bag to the cone and move up the layers until the whole cone is filled.

Instead of hot glue, you could use sewing pins or thumbtacks to attach the tea bags.

If you would like, cut an empty toilet paper tube to be a stump. Glue it to the bottom of the styrofoam cone or gently push it into the bottom of the cone to stay.

Attach a bow to the top with glue.

Pair this tree with an inexpensive mug or tea pot for a great gift :)

When money is tight, it might feel hard to be festive. But don't worry. The joyousness of the season doesn't have to cost a lot of money!
