Pipe cleaners aren’t just for kids! You can take these sweet fuzzy sticks and turn them into a chic little white tree perfect for Christmas.

Now that I am decorating my shelves for every holiday, I wanted to create a simple tree to add some height to my Christmas decor. When I recently cleaning out my craft room, I found a bag with white pipe cleans, a dowel rod, and a wooden square block. Clearly I had been planning on making a tree in the past! Man, I need to do inventory checks on my craft supplies! At least I found this before I went and re-bought all of the supplies I already had. I know we have all been there at some point in our crafty lives!

Drill a hole in the center of your block and cut your dowel rod in half.

Paint your block and dowel rod white. Once dry, add your rod to the hole in your block.

Add a bit of hot glue to the bottom of your rod and start wrapping a pipe cleaner around the bottom. Then, fold a pipe cleaner in half and twist it around the rod. Once twisted, push it down towards the bottom of the rod.

Continue adding your pipe cleaners to your rod until it’s full.

Press your pipe cleaner so they are flat. Use your scissors to trim them into a Christmas tree shape with the longest pipe cleaners at the bottom and the smallest at the top.

Fluff your pipe cleaners and arrange them to fill in the shape of your tree.

That's it!
