White Satin Sheen Christmas Tree

After creating my green Satin Sheen Christmas Tree, I went to work correcting my mistake with another tree, this time a white one.

I made my own cone by wrapping cardboard around a sewing thread cone and cutting it out and glueing it together. Now remove your sewing cone template.
I cut the satin sheen in about 5-inch long pieces, folded them in half lengthwise and then in half widthwise. Now when I made a cut every 1/8 of an inch, the cut when with the grain of the satin sheen (longer leaves/needles)
I started glueing the pieces of satin sheen onto the cone until it was all covered.
I cut a hole into the bottom of the laundry scoop with an exacto knife. Just mark around the cardboard tube on the scoop.
Then I glued the cardboard tube into the cone and cut it down to the length I wanted. (Put the tube through the hole in the scoop and measure that way, remove it again).
Trace the outline of the scoop on some cardboard or styrofoam and cut it out with an exacto knife.
Cut a 10-12 inch circle from the fabric you have picked. Cut a hole in the center of the fabric to let the cardboard tube pass through.
Thread the fabric onto the cardboard tube, push tube through the laundry scoop.
Now put glue onto the bottom of the tube and the edges of the scoop and attach the cardboard or styrofoam piece, this give the whole thing stability.
Drape the skirt around the scoop and glue it onto the scoop at about 8 different places.
Decorate the tree. Congratulations on a job well done!

I had saved a copy of Aleene's instructions and when their site went down I decided to post the info below my own.

For bows, use ribbon to tie desired number of tiny two-loop bows with 1" streamers; trim streamers on diagonal. Glue bows to tree, spacing evenly throughout.
