Here Are 19 Pics Of Our Unconventional-Looking Christmas Tree Made From 2 Gallons Of Glue, 15 Pounds Of Corn Starch, And Yarn

My husband and I continued our tradition of making an Unconventional Christmas tree for the 6th year in a row. This year, we used 2 gallons of glue, 15 pounds of corn starch, and a lot of green yarn to create a giant version of the popular smaller yarn cone craft.

After creating a giant cone mold, we were able to soak the yarn in a one-part glue, one-part corn starch mixture, and wrap it all around. After a week, it dried and we were able to remove the mold to decorate it. It was a mess fitting for the year 2020, but as always, it was fun! Enjoy!

    Supplies we used

    First we made a giant cone mold from chicken wire covered in paper

    Then we wrapped the cone with plastic wrap to keep the glue soaked and yarn from sticking

    You can tell, it was a mess

    For ornaments we took 100 water balloons and wrapped them in different colored yarn

    After one week we took the tree out of the mold. It is completely hollow inside!

    putting the ornaments on the string of lights

    Adding the ornaments, some fairy lights, and some other details made it pop!

    All finished!

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some people call me Diane, Deanna, or even Liana sometimes), and I am an Artist Ventures Lead at Bored Panda. In my role, I work closely with artists and creators from all over the world, helping bring their work to a wider audience and highlighting the incredible things people create. A big part of what I do is connecting talented artists with the platform and making sure their projects, stories, and visuals get the recognition they deserve. Outside of work, you can usually find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with my cats (heavy on that one, because I’m definitely a cat mom).
