Winter forest - trees made of wool

Winter is just around the corner and with it the perfect opportunity to transform your home into a magical winter wonderland. Imagine beautiful woollen trees that are not only easy to make, but also add a touch of cosiness and creativity to your living room. These step-by-step instructions will show you how to create your own winter forest with a few easy-to-find materials. There are no limits to your creativity!

Preparations: Everything you need

Before you start your creative project, make sure you have all the materials to hand. A calming environment will also help you to concentrate on your crafting.

Step 1: Attach the thread to the polystyrene cone

Start by coating the lace of your polystyrene cone with some VBS handicraft glue. Then take a thread of your favourite wool and carefully place it on the glue. Secure the thread with a pin to make sure it doesn't slip as you continue working.

Step 2: Wrap the cone

Now comes the creative part: wrap the wool around the polystyrene cone step by step. You can also fix the threads in between with pins so that they don't slip unintentionally.

Step 3: Add personalised accents

To give your woollen tree even more sparkle, you have the option of wrapping a micro LED chain of lights around it. Start at the top and work your way down. It is best to attach the end of the chain of lights and the battery compartment with some hot glue. This will ensure that everything stays securely in place and blends into your winter arrangement with a soft glow.
