So…I finally have gotten around to actually decorating my house!! This year I decided to simplify in both the colors and items.
I decided to incorporate burlap and jute twine into my family room decor, and I am so happy with how it turned out!
Burlap and Twine Trees…
They are just so warm and cozy! Plus they are a great last minute Holiday Home Decor idea!!
Here is how I made them…
Supplies Needed for Burlap and Twine Trees:
Lets start with the Burlap Tree…
Gather all your supplies needed…
Next, adhere the burlap to the bottom of the cone with a small amount of glue, {remember, I switched to a glue gun instead of spray adhesive!} and begin to wrap the burlap around the cone and slightly overlap each layer as you move up the cone. I applied small amounts of glue periodically, as I made my way up the cone!
You will need to make small cuts in the burlap as you wrap it, to get it to lay flat. They will look like little “tucks” in the burlap! Continue to wrap, glue, cut, and tuck all the way to the top!!
Finally, give your tree a light coat of shimmer with some glitter spray! Finish off with some whimsical little bells, tied onto the top with brown satin ribbon!
Now, for his little friend, the Twine Tree…
Simply attach the jute twine to the top of the cone with your glue gun and start wrapping….sit down…turn on the TV…and wrap! Attach the jute twine on the underside of the cone at the bottom with your glue gun! That’s it! Super easy!! Finish it off with a little glitter as well!
These are really fun, easy, and inexpensive! I was also able to really score on the candlesticks they are sitting on…50% off of 50% off !! LOVE a bargain!
ENJOY!!

I love it! The burlap trees look great! Lots of burlap around my house this year, as well. Stopping by from SYS.
I am loving all the rustic Christmas decorations I have been seeing. I think these are really great, thanks for sharing how you made them.

I just found your blog – and how weird, I just bought two tree forms yesterday … coincidence? I think not! Hopefully I can get them decorated before Jan. 1 🙂 Thanks for the great linky party!

I thought I loved the burlap tree and then I saw your twine one. Adorable 🙂
So glad to have you at our Pin’Inspiration Party this week.
Happy follower, would love if you popped over and grabbed a button.
These are really nice. I could sure use ones like that for my boring old mantle at home.
These would look so cute on my desk…I will be adding these on my list of next year’s Christmas crafts….Thanks for sharing this on my “18 Days of Christmas” linky party 🙂

I like the twine tree the best, but the brown ribbon is perfect for the burlap tree.

I’m trying the jute one and my second will be with books pages… wish me luck! There’s still time to send it overseas… just sayin 😉

Cute! I never thought about paper cones – great idea, I’ll make my own! Just went to Hobby Lobby recently and refused to pay 5 bucks for styrofoam trees. I’m doing the twine trees for my mantle 😉
