If you don’t have cone form, you can make it with a poster board cutting it in a party hat shape. These are great for small spaces and apartments where you don’t have lot of room for a big tree. You can use this on windowsill, in trays with some ornaments, on book shelves, on office desk or anywhere you can think of!

MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE THE VELVET CHRISTMAS TREE
- Paper mache cones
- If you are making your own cones, try a poster board
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Velvet ribbon (3/8 size)
HOW TO MAKE THE WHITE FEATHER CHRISTMAS TREE
- Choose the right size paper mache cones to make the velvet tree. I chose the medium one in the set for this.
- You don’t even have to paint the cone! Start gluing the ribbon from the top to bottom as shown.
- That’s all you have to do! Make sure you overlap a little while gluing so that the cone base is not shown in between the ribbon.

How many yds to do one tree?
Is Amazon the cheapest place to go?
Thank you! I think I used 5-6 yards maximum on this cone. I did buy from amazon, I haven’t checked the price anywhere else. I hope you enjoy making it!
I have a boxful of styrofoam.cones. Haven’t had good luck with hot glue on styrofoam. Wonder if straight pins would work with ribbon on styrofoam cone?
You can also use felt to cover the styrofoam and wrap the velvet ribbon around it as given in the tutorial.
By the way…yours is the most beautiful velvet RIBBON cone I’ve seen on Pinterest, blogs, Instagram, Facebook, etc. Your attention to detail and finish is impeccable. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
That’s very kind of you! Thank you so much!
You are most welcome. I have searched at length for velvet cone Christmas trees, both DIY and at retail. Your creations are superior.
Thank you for turning the light switch on for me! Covering the styrofoam with felt is the perfect solution to my dilemma. Who knows how long or if ever that idea would have occurred to me. Thank you again.
I’m so glad it was helpful! Hope you can make a wonderful Christmas tree cone for the holidays!
I love the base! What’s it made from?
Hi,It is a metal candle holder.
Beautiful velvet trees. Very classy! Nhow do you cover cone with felt. Making strips like velvet ribbon or in one piece! Kathleen
It is best to cover the cone in one piece so that you will have a blank surface to stick velvet ribbon. Hope this helps your project.
