A Quick, Cheap Rustic Burlap Christmas Tree
by
Caroline
These little styrofoam trees are all over Pinterest. This one is so easy, quick and CHEAP! Mine was less than $3.00!
Start with a Styrofoam tree base (mine was from the Dollar Tree), straight pins (Dollar Tree again) an your choice of burlap colors.
Fold your pieces of burlap in half and use a pin to attach to the base, beginning at the bottom. Alternate colors as you progress up the foam base.
I actually used a burlap striped ribbon and found it was actually much easier to work with than the burlap.
Here is my completed tree (with a little star) on my Hoosier cabinet as part of my hot chocolate bar. I think it's the perfect touch!

@Julie Smith-Roof - you should! it is so easy and you can personalize it by the colors you choose. I made another one from just the ribbon and it was even easier than the one shown. Be sure and post a photo of yours if you make one. I would love to see it!
