Here is another inexpensive way to decorate and produce a spectacular tree. Make a snowy Christmas tree complete with tree skirt.

What You’ll Need

*Cotton Balls
*White Glitter
*Silver Garland

For the Snowman:

*White icing
*Chocolate Chips
*Small Carrot
*Piping Bag

For the Tree Skirt:

*Cardboard
*Flour
*Water
*White Glitter

Instructions

Take cotton balls and place them on the tips of the branches. If you have any white glitter on hand, sprinkle it on the cotton balls to give a glistening snow effect. Or you can cut silver garland into little tiny specks to achieve the same results.

Need an ornament for the top of the tree? Make a cookie snowman. Simply using your favorite cookie dough, shape the dough into the form of a snowman. Cover the entire snowman with white icing. Use chocolate chips for his eyes, and shape a nose using a small carrot. Add a smile on his face using chocolate from a piping bag.

To add a tree skirt, simply use a large piece of cardboard. Cut the cardboard into an arc. Take two or more cups of flour and add water. Paste the flour onto the cardboard to give the illusion of fresh fallen snow. Add white glitter to enhance the effect.
