I must admit that this is my favorite holiday decor project of all time. Yes, I like making wreaths and other fun crafty projects, but there’s something so magical about the metallic fringe layering the colored cones that make my heart swoon in just the right way.

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.
