Coffee filter Christmas trees

Create festive cheer in every corner of your home with these whimsical trees. To begin, cut a centre circle out of the dyed coffee filters (save for later) leaving a ring that is about 4cm wide. Cut the ring open to make a long ruffle. Now, working from the base of a styrofoam or cardboard cone (ours were 20cm and 25cm tall), pleat the ruffle and hot glue it to the cone. Work your way up until you reach the top. We used 6-7 filters per tree. To finish, take one of those reserved circles, pinch into a little cone and glue to the top of your tree.
