Fringe Christmas trees are fun and easy to make

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

I might be obsessed with fringe 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.
