Fringe Christmas trees are fun and easy to make

A simple cone can become elegant fringe Christmas trees in just a few steps.

Fringe Christmas holiday Trees - MyFixitUpLifeI might be obsessed with fringe trees.

But I’m not worrying about it. Instead, I’m running after my love and decorating my holiday mantel with a trio of fringe Christmas trees.

Ridiculously easy to make, I started with cardboard cones. Cones can be purchased, which makes it a bit easier. But if you are looking to save a few dollars, you can roll a thin sheet of cardboard (like the back of a notepad) into a perfectly fine cone.

Rather than giving that earthy-look of cardboard peeking through the fringe, I wanted a bit more glamour for my Christmas trees. So, I then painted the cones. I used gold and turquoise paint, two of my current favorite colors.

After the paint dried, I wrapped the cones with fringe that I ordered online. Hot glue worked perfectly.

I’m in love with how the little grouping of Christmas trees shimmers in the changing light of the day.

Here’s the how-to:

The spacing of the fringe depends on how much of the background color you want to see.
