How To:
I started by painting the top, bottom, and sides of all the spools. I started by painting one end, letting them dry, and then painting the other end. Once both ends were painted, I then just painted the very top of one end.

I let them dry and wrapped them in green polka dot and white washi tape.

I then hot glued them all together while stacking them up, and finally hot glued down to rolls of washi tape for the trunk.

I think this tree is darling to give as a gift to a crafter, or to even make for Christmas decor, or even to place it in your craft room. So fun.
So fun, and a great project to do with family, or for a craft night.
Thanks Jen it was a pleasure visiting here today.
