Triangle Christmas Tree

Ducktivity provided by ttaylor

I had the Ah Ha moment yesterday before decorating the office for Christmas. There was a mini tree decorating contest which I thought...hey, let's make a duct tape tree! I immediately got to work on the idea in my head. It's the first entry in the work christmas tree decorating contest!

Thanks all for your comments...I'll do a how to, quickly....inside is a styrofoam cone covered in duck tape. Fold 2.5 in squares into triangles (2 fold similar to flower petals) I used 3 different shades of green for the triangle "branches". Then cover the cone with the triangles. I pasted little gems as ornaments/lights & put it all on top of a mini flower pot. The star was yellow duck tape, 2 pieces, just cut a star shape out of both & put them together on top. It's hard to say how long it took since I did it while at work between phone calls & actual work....Also note to hmjohnson30, that's not glow in the dark tape, that's just the flash picture...I am looking for them to come out with some glow in the dark tape...that would be awesome! I'm so excited about my little tree, I see now that it made the website in addition to winning the contest at work! WOO HOOO YEAH ME!!!! :)

I love your tree. I LOVE duct tape and that would be the perfect thing for my bedroom. Where do you get a styrofoam cone by chance. Also, a place for a cheap little flower pot. Take into consideration I am only 12 and don't get alowance and the only reason I have money is Christmas.

if you don't have stryfoam cones you can use like partment paper or vanilla folders and shape them and then stapel the bottem and tape the top and decorate!!!!!!!!!!

They have glow in the dark duck tape in zebra pattern and I would think they would have it just plain. Awesome project I am going to try to make 1 or 2 or 3 maybe 4 or 5 small ones
