DIY candy mint Christmas tree

Easy
& fresh holiday DIY

The holidays are many things, but they are not cheap! Between the gift buying, the traveling and the food costs, we're often left with just a few bucks to decorate! Instead of spending those last few cents on an overpriced centerpiece or mantel display, why not make a few of these adorable mint trees?

You can't beat a craft that costs less than $5. This mint tree only takes about 30 minutes to make and instantly adds some holiday pizzazz to mantels, coffee tables and even centerpieces! In addition, this is one craft your kids will love to help you make!

Supplies:

• 1 bag of regular red circle mints
• 1 bag of wintergreen circle mints
• Hot glue gun
• Assorted sizes of styrofoam cones
• Silver glitter glue

Instructions:

With dry hands (this is very important, otherwise the candy will get sticky), unwrap each candy so you can glue it onto the cone.

Using your hot glue gun, glue the mints onto the tree, right next to each other, covering up every bit of space on the cone that you can.

We did two layers of red and one layer of green and repeated until we got to the top of the tree.

Since you can't overlap the mints, we added some silver glitter glue to cover up some of the holes. It gives the tree a bit of a tinsel look!

Let the glue dry and clean up the loose strings with a cloth. Display on your mantel or table and enjoy!
