They look particularly pretty in groups of three, all of which are a different size. Have you fallen in love with the idea? Then go ahead and get the necessary materials, which are the following:
- thin cardboard that you can use to make cones (alternatively, ready-made Styrofoam cones are also suitable)
- Tape or pins if you are using a Styrofoam cone
To make crafts with muffin cases for Christmas, first form cones out of the cardboard and cut the bottom edge straight so that the cones can stand. In this way you can also determine the size of the trees - the more you cut off, the smaller the tree will be. Then prepare the muffin cases. Cut out the middle circles. All you need is the ridged edges cut open in one place.
Now you can design the cones. Glue the molds around the cone, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Each new row overlaps the previous one. For the tip, use one of the circles you cut out earlier. Then stick the last fluted strip of a muffin cup over it.
Tip: If you use a Styrofoam cone, the tape will not stick well. In this case, pins are better, which you can use to attach the paper cups to the cone.
