Directions:
(Note: Use caution if you have young kids completing this activity since sharp pins are used. Adult supervision encouraged.)
Cut the red, white, pink, and black ribbon into 4 inch. strips.
Start with the red ribbon first. Bring the ends of the ribbon together to create a loop. Place a pin towards the top part where the ends meet.
Pin the ribbon onto the styrofoam about one inch above the bottom of the tree.
Complete this step all the way around the bottom of the cone.
Repeat this step with the white ribbon and go all the way around the cone. Tip: Place the ribbon directly above the ribbon below it to cover the pin top slightly.
Continue this until you cover the whole tree with ribbon.
Add the pink and the black and white polka dotted ribbon in between the ribbon layers as desired.
Once you get to the top, pin the heart buttons on.
Display this tree in your home or classroom!
