Ribbon Trees - Aren't they great?

For this project you need a styrofoam cone, lots of tiny pins, a few rolls of the same ribbon for your base and then various other trims.  Cut several pieces of about 1 1/2" ribbon and fold in half and attach with pin for each layer starting at the bottom.  If you like, feel free to place a piece of ribbon going around the styro first so none shows through when placing your ribbon layers around the piece.  Break up the layers by adding various trims around the styro and then begin your ribbon layers again.  Once you get to the top, add ribbon over the top that overhangs and pin in place.  If you like add a star or other embellishment.  On mine I used a Prima star and a metal star wand from JoAnn.  One tree is a combination of felt ribbon and Carolee's music ribbon, the other tree is mostly all Prima ribbons and trims.  Have fun.
