Learn how to make this beautifully textured chenille stem Christmas tree that is decorated with colorful pom poms following a step-by-step tutorial. This DIY pipe-cleaner Christmas tree is built around a cardboard cone base, so it can be completed in 30 minutes.
You can decorate the Christmas table with this Christmas tree or hide a Christmas present or candy inside its cone. It only requires one bend pattern, each made from one-third of a green pipe cleaner.

Quick Guide for Making this Pipe Cleaner Christmas Tree
You will start by cutting a tissue paper roll into a rectangle and rolling it to make a cone. After gluing the corner to close the cone, you will also want to cut the bottom corner to make a circular bottom. Take a green pipe cleaner & cut it into 3 pieces (10cm each).
Take one and twist it around a ball pointer, making 3 loops, and then twist at the bottom to secure the loops. Fan out the loops a bit to make the Christmas tree pipe cleaner unit.
You will do the same for about 40 more pipe cleaner thirds. You will apply zig-zag glue along the bottom and start attaching the pipe cleaner units. Attach a small pipe cleaner at the top so you can attach the bow onto it. Note that if you want to learn making this pipe cleaner Christmas tree in detail, be sure to watch the video tutorial.
