Embroidery Thread Christmas Tree Silhouette

Joybx takes a paper cone, covers it in a fine layer of glue and wraps green needle point thread around it to create a Christmas tree.  She then adds snowflake sticker to decorate.  Although the tree looks very delicate it's not delicate to make, all the kids need to do is simply wrap the cone.  Use a thin thread to make it more translucent.
