    How To Make Stacked Christmas Tree Topiaries

    by Jessica 6 Comments

    Silver Christmas Tree TopiariesHave I told you about my slight obsession with silver this year?  I am just in love with the combination of silver and white this year...I guess I truly am dreaming of a white Christmas...with a touch of silver (winks)!  I have had these stacked cone Christmas tree topiaries in my head for a while, but didn't know how I could make my own.  Well, one day while chatting with a friend, I was staring down my stack of paper mache' cones that I picked up from Michaels and it hit me!  Today, I want to share this simple trick with you...

    Christmas Tree Topiary SuppliesStart with chrome spray paint, 3 different sized paper mache' cones, two wooden beads and one wooden dowel.

    Spray Paint Paper Mache Cones Silver to Make Stacked Christmas Tree TopiariesYou'll need to find a well ventilated area to spay your cones.  I sprayed mine in the garage in a cardboard box.  Just be sure to hold the can back about 10 inches from the cones so you get an even coat. Silver Painted Cone Christmas TreeLet dry thoroughly...they should look like this...all shiny!

    Place a wood bead on top of a paper mache cone to make them into topiariesNow..for the little tip/trick...place one of the wooden beads on the top of the largest cone...

    Stacked Christmas TreesPlace the medium cone right over that bead, then place the other bead on top of the medium cone's tip...

    Use a styrofoam block for stability when making a topiaryTake a styrofoam block and place it in a tin or pot. You can cut the styrofoam to fit whatever vessel you are using.  I placed my block in already and sprinkled some glittery stuff on top to hide the styrofoam.

    How to make stacked cone trees into Christmas topiariesNow, place your stacked cones on top of the dowel.  I did place a ball of tissue paper up into the bottom cone for stabilization...you could use a paper towel for this step as well.

      So cute! I like the idea of using a large bead for spacing.
