Mini paper mache cones can be made into Christmas tree ornaments.
Mini paper mache cones are sturdy and make good foundations for crafting a variety of decorative items. Because the cone shape allows them to be free-standing, you can make crafts to place on tables or shelves. The small size also lends the cones to making Christmas tree decorations or for use in miniature holiday villages.
Trees
The shape of a mini paper mache cone lends itself to making small trees that can be grouped to create a festive holiday centerpiece. For example, you could glue on feathers or small silk leaves. You could glue on small candy, such as mini mints, or even coffee beans for a unique look. You could also paint them green or cover them in felt and add white glitter to use as part of a mini winter village vignette.
Figures
The cone shape also works well for the body of a figure, such as an angel or Christmas caroler. Cut off the top of the cone to fit a small foam ball to be used for the head. Use pipe cleaners to make arms and quilt batting to simulate a coat and hat. Use tulle for wings and add features and glitter for sparkle.
Ornaments
Because they are small, mini paper mache cones make excellent Christmas tree or holiday ornaments. Paint the cone, add details cut from felt or made from stickers and attach a ribbon at the top to hang the ornament.
