What you will need:

Paper Mache Cones (these ones are a little bigger than pictured, but they would still work well as ornaments)
Green paint
Adhesive gems
Adhesive stars
Ribbon, for hanging

How to make the Christmas Tree Cone Ornament

1. Paint the paper mache cone with green paint. For younger kids you might want to use washable tempura paint instead of acrylic paint. You can just squirt some paint on a paper plate and let your kids paint away (with a smock on of course!).

Allow to dry completely.

2. Carefully use a thick needle (like a darning needle) to pierce through the top of the cone.

Thread the hole with ribbon. Tie the loose ends of the ribbon together to form a hanging loop.

3. Decorate the cones with adhesive gems and stars. You could also use small stickers, ribbon, and/or washi tape.
