Chenille Stem Tree

Filed Under: CELEBRATE, Christmas, CREATE

I’m trying to make myself a collection of vintage looking houses and an assortment of Christmas trees to create a wintery village on my mantel.  For this tree, I began with a bamboo skewer.  I painted it just in case any little bit showed through but really this probably isn’t necessary as I got really good covered with the branches.  The branches are made from chenille stems (pipe cleaners) in white, white with gold glitter, white with silver glitter, silver, and gold.  All I did was to cut some pieces of chenille stem – I began with 3 inch lengths, then 4, then 6.  Then I simply wound the pieces around the bamboo skewer to secure.  I didn’t find any glue was necessary.  I left part of the skewer bare so that it can stick into some sort of base.  For a final adornment, I added beads to the ends of some of the branches.
