Frayed Cone Christmas Trees

"Walk into my home in December, and you will smell the pine from the scented candles I like and mini Christmas tree forests in every room. I love making mini Christmas tree decorations and new ones each year out of stuff I already have. Cone Christmas trees are the easiest to make; you only need some cardboard and fabric to decorate. With these trees, I used strips of tartan and denim fabric, frayed them and then wrapped them around the cones."
