wrap your cone
the yarn will stick in place to the styrofoam
leave a small amount at the top

    Mindy, what a fun take on this project. Your trims and colors are so fun and festive. These are such a perfect thing to group together in a centerpiece, on a mantel, cocktail table, or in a vignette like you featured them. Thanks so much for linking your project up to BeColorful's Motivated Monday.
