Can someone help me find the directions on how to make a toothpick Christmas tree. I can’t remember which magazine I saw it in. It needs toothpicks, stryrofoam and paint. I would love a link to the website with pictures if possible. Thanks so much!!

Sorry—I couldn’t find pictures, but I found instructions.

Snowball Tree
Styrofoam cone, green construction paper, cotton balls, toothpicks or straight pins, glue, glitter, clear tape Take a styrofoam cone and wrap it in the paper. Tape it together. Stick the cotton balls onto the cone with the pins or toothpicks. Lightly dab some glue onto the edge of the cotton balls. Sprinkle glitter over the glue. Let your tree dry completely before moving it.

I have one idea for you. Buy a cone styrofoam at a craft store. Get small soft gumdrops or can use large ones. Put each one on each toothpick and place appropriately on your styrofoam tree. You now have a gumdrop Xmas tree. So easy.
