I did it again...I just can't stop playing with Short Cuts Frosted Sheets.
To make the tree all I did was roll the Frosted Sheet into a cone shape, glue and trim the bottom until it sat flat. Then now heres the fun part...
I suckered ooppps I mean I asked my husband to help punch some snowflakes, he punched one kind and I punched another.
Then I used glue dots to adhere the snowflakes to the cone...errrr Tree.
I attached the buttons the same way (glue dots).
Made the star (please see instructions below)
Then cut 2 circles out (1 red and 1 slightly larger white) stitched for effect and ta-da a tree skirt!!
Why did I use Frosted Sheets do you ask???
Wellllll as you can see from the above photo I slipped an LED flameless candle inside the tree so it lights up, if I used solid white cardstock the tree wouldn't have that "romantic glow"!

Make your own tree template simply by taking a piece of paper, rolling it into a cone shape.
Once you have the desired shape you will want to tape all the seams together.
Then trim the access paper off the bottom, stand up the cone, and trim again until it stands flat.
Cut down the centre of the tree, starting at the base through to the top.
Use your new template to trace onto your desired paper, for mine I traced onto a Frosted Sheet of acetate.
**Make sure you add about ½’ to one of the side seams, you will need this extra piece to glue one side to the other.
Now decorate
I used glue dots to stick snowflakes to the tree, sewing straight pins with the little painted heads would be really cute to hold the snowflakes on.
For the “tree skirt” just cut a circle larger than the base of the tree and matt.
**Important…remember to use FLAMELESS tea lights for inside the tree or your tree will be doing more than just glowing!!
