This week I am sharing a quick, easy AND budget friendly projects just in time for your holiday decorating!  I shared these Holiday Yarn Tree DIY a few weeks ago with our friends over at Classy Clutter and wanted to share it here too!!

Target had some similar trees and as much as we all LOVE Target, I wanted to bring more handmade into my holiday decor.  So, this project was something that I knew wouldn’t take a ton of time and the results were amazing!  Let’s check this out!

I started by drilling a hole the size of the dowel into the Birch Wood Disc

Next, I drilled a small hole in the bottom of my wooden star that was measured off of the skewer size

I used a small dab of hot glue to secure the wood skewer into the tree topper

Next up, the tree!  Starting at the top of the tree with some glue, begin wrapping the yard around the cone.

Continue wrapping the yarn down the cone.

Once the cone was wrapped in yarn, continue with a top layer of yarn to create an overlay pattern.

Once the entire cone is covered, insert the tree base and star topper
