This creation was inspired by Pinterest. You can find the original post here:http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/11/glitter-trees.html

Here are my trees:

Here are the items you will need to recreate these trees:

• 3 styrofoam cones in varying sizes (Michaels)
• 3 coordinating glitter colors (Michaels: I used green, tinsel red and tinsel aqua)
• 3 glass vases (Dollar Tree)
• White spray paint
• Spray adhesive (Michaels)
• E6000 glue (Wal-Mart)
• Mod Podge Sealer
• Tray

Take a cone outside and spray your cone with spray adhesive. Make sure you get the top and bottom edges well covered. Bring inside and place on your tray. Sprinkle the cone with your glitter until well covered. I did 3 layers. Make sure that you are spraying your cone outside and away from your tray or you will ruin your extra glitter that is on your tray that you can use for future projects. After your cone is completed pour the glitter that is on your tray back in your bottle. You will be surprised how very little glitter you used!! You can glitterize more stuff later

Once you have all 3 cones completed set them aside to dry. Go outside and spray your glass vases with white paint. If you have never spray painted glass before the key is light strokes. Once all 3 vases are completed set them aside to dry.

Now take your cones outside and spray generously with Mod Podge sealer:

You do NOT want to miss this step. This sealer allows your glitter to stay in place and not fall everywhere. I learned the hard way and was constantly cleaning up glitter Let your cones dry.

Once your cones and vases have dried adhere together with E6000 glue. Although the glue cautions you to not use it with styrofoam, it worked well for me and from my Pinterest Inspiration.

Now go put those on your mantel, bathroom or wherever needs glitterizing (what woman doesn’t love glitter?) and stand back and admire your work!

Let me know how your glitter christmas trees turned out!
