Step 4Start Wrapping the Tree (And Add Snow)
Now that the lights are working you can start making the cup look like a real tree!
First, attach the tree to a base. I just used a car wax container. It was round, green, and looked nice enough to work.
Now, all you need to do is take the pipe cleaners and start wrapping them around and hot gluing them to the cup.
Try not to use too much hot glue. If you do it will look sloppy. Also, if you do use too much, try to get rid of it before it gets rock hard and is impossible to pull off.
If there are any spaces on the tree that you leave empty, you can cut a small bit of pipe cleaner out and stick it there once you're finished.
OPTIONAL AREA BELOW
This is purely optional, but I wanted it to look like there was snow on the tree. Once I got rid of all of the unintentional hot glue, I started adding very small bits of hot glue to the tree. In real life it looked nice and sort of snowy. On the camera it didn't look so great. Try it which ever way you want.
