I think the tree came out fairly well. Let’s get started by reviewing our supply list!

You will want to start by cutting out all your layers for the tree. As I said before, I used 38 layers for mine. It may vary a little for everyone.

Each of the square-like edges is going to get folded around like a cone and secured with hot glue.

Once you have finished gluing all the points of the tree into cones you will then want to start stacking them in order of largest size to the smallest size.
