Tips on How to Make DIY Cone Christmas Trees: 

Whether you are using Paper Mache Cones or Foam Cones as a base, you can easily create different types of coastal inspired cone trees such as shell, sand, seaglass, and rope trees, for example. You can also roll up your own paper mache cones with cardstock paper or other types of soft materials that you can easily trim and roll up.

You might want to paint your cone to hide any paper or foam texture, depending on the cone tree you want to create. 

Use fast drying Hot Glue to attach your chosen decorations. If you cover the cone base with sand, then you can use any clear drying craft glue. 

For shell cone trees as well as driftwood trees, you can use larger shells and driftwood pieces at the base and smaller ones as you go up the cone. 

Finish off your cone trees with Christmas decorations that are removable, if you want your trees on display year round.
