I thought it would be fun to use one of my favorite crafting materials to create these Felt Pine Trees for my holiday decor this year. I originally saw something similar online for sale for {GET THIS} $65 – $95 per tree! WHAT!!! Nope, no way, not gonna happen. So I made my own and they turned out pretty darn similar.
Supply List:
– Felt {2 sheets per tree to be safe}
– Wood Discs to fit inside cones {Michaels}
– Paper Mache Cones {Michaels}
– Wooden Spools or Dowel Rods
– Hot Glue Gun
You will need to start by cutting a bazillion little felt triangles. Cut your felt in to 1 1/2″ long strips, then cut those strips in to triangles. I used about 2 sheets of felt per tree. 
Now take your small wood disk and place it on the bottom of the paper mache cone, some of mine fit snuggly inside the cone and others I had to hot glue on to create the base for the trunk to be glued to. Now I created my trunks for the trees by either gluing wooden spools together or cutting small dowel rods to the size I wanted. I then glued the trunks to another wood disc to create the stand {which I painted a light taupe color}. 
Then glue to the other end of the trunk to the underneath side of the cone. Now you can begin placing your felt on the cones. Starting at the bottom and going row by row add your felt triangles. Overlapping each row like shown in the picture.
Once you get to the top you will need a small 1/2″ circle of felt in the matching color to glue on top to finish it off. Then you should have some pretty fancy little Felt Pine Trees to adorn your Christmas mantle or displays. I am loving these little trees and can’t wait to find a spot for them when my decor is up. 
P.S. HERE is the link to the original inspiration that cost $65 – $95 per tree in case you were wondering.

Great job. But $65 to buy it seems like a bargain by the time you put all that work and material costs into it. You’re more patient than I am. I’ll buy mine (BTW link doesn’t work, so don’t know where to buy it – just goez to an empty cart)
These trees are wonderful. I love the neutrals. Can’t wait to try these.
Ruth
GORGEOUS!! I had bought most of these materials intending to make something like this! I might just have to borrow your idea :o) They turned out beautifully! Pinning!!

What a wonderful craft idea! Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh My!! These are wonderful. I am a little confused at the directions. Are the felt strips 1 1/2 inches wide, by how long?? Thanks in advance, and I will be back!!
Love this!! These are so adorable!
I made these too, except I used a large empty ribbon spool as the base and put “ornaments” on it since mine looked like a five year old who found the scissors made it originally.
These are just lovely! Thanks for sharing 🙂
