How to Make a Cone Christmas Tree #4

See post for Tree 1 for basic instructions.

Tree 4 uses the same type cone wrapped in blue sparkly paper same as tree 1.  
Dollar Tree had these pretty tapes, all four in one package, so I used the silver for garland.  I had to add crafter's sticky tape to the silver tape though as its own sticky stuff would not adhere to the sparkly paper.
I had a package of plastic dragonflies I picked up at a thrift store several years ago and they looked pretty on the blue paper so I hot glued them on in a random pattern.

I also used the same type upside down plastic champagne glass as I did for tree 3 and used the silver tape around the edge - it stuck well to the plastic.
That's 2 dragonflies hot glued back to back on the top using the same process as I did for tree 3's topper.

Oh, good! You DON'T have embedded boxes! I thought you did last time I came over to comment. Yay! Anyway, that's a great tree. I'm going to look at all of them, but I have to take a nap. Up too early!

Nope, I try to make it easy for people to comment. Hey, a nap sounds pretty good!
