A Musical Christmas Tree Made With Yarn
Hi sweet friends, I'm so glad you're here! A few weeks ago when I pulled out the boxes of Christmas decorations I found a musical Christmas tree that was in need of repair. It was a favorite of mine growing up! My mom would display it during the holidays, I remember winding the music box to listen to the sweet song that it played. It had a green and silver mesh Christmas tree on it and played Silent Night. I thought I could restore the mesh tree, but it was beyond my capabilities. However the music box and metal sticks were in good condition, so I thought I would just go ahead and replace the tree.
I made a short video for you to hear the sweet music it plays. The video is at the end of this post.
Starting at the base I wrapped the yarn around the styrofoam cone.

I purchased a white styrofoam cone. You can find them at Amazon. The white yarn I had on hand.
Starting at the base I wrapped the yarn around the styrofoam cone.
When I reached the top, I used a small amount of spray adhesive to keep the yarn intact.
I used feather yarn to give the tree some fluff. Then I poked a hole in the bottom of the Styrofoam with the metal sticks and pushed them through to the top. Now the tree stands on the music box.
My Christmas tree needed a topper. I used a vintage light bulb from a set of bulbs that my mother gave to me.
I displayed my white, fluffy, musical Christmas tree with a few mini faux evergreen trees.
The pine cone wreath I made last year How to Make a Pine Cone Wreath. This year I gave the wreath a mini makeover with more pine cones and gold spray paint. I attached it to a black chalkboard.
