Materials You'll Need:
- Ravenox Three Strand Cotton Rope (various colors)
- Thin wire (easily bendable, from a hobby store)
- Wire cutters
- Electrical tape (for clean rope cuts)
- Scissors
Step 1: Prepare Your Cotton Rope
Choose your desired rope color from Ravenox's selection to match your holiday décor theme. Measure and cut your Ravenox cotton rope to the lengths you want for various tree sizes. Before cutting, tightly wrap electrical tape around the rope where you plan to make your cut to prevent fraying—cut through the center of the tape.
Step 2: Weave in the Wire
Cut a piece of thin wire slightly longer than your rope segment. Carefully weave the wire through the center of the three-strand cotton rope, allowing it to follow the twist of the rope. The wire adds stability and makes the rope pliable.
Step 3: Form the Rope Circle
Once the wire is in place, bend the rope into a circle, overlapping the ends slightly. Secure the ends together by twisting the wire tightly, and cut off any excess with your wire cutters.
Step 4: Shape Your Tree
Gently pull the center of the rope circle upwards to form the cone shape of a tree. Adjust the bends to create a uniform tree shape, ensuring that the base stands flat.
Step 5: Create a Forest
Repeat the process with different lengths and colors of Ravenox cotton rope to make an assortment of trees. The more variety in size and color, the more enchanting your rope tree display will be.
Step 6: Display Your Creations
Arrange your colorful cotton rope trees around your home or office. They make beautiful accents on desks, bookshelves, window sills, or nestling amongst other holiday decorations. You can also attach string to the top of your rope trees to hang them as unique ornaments.
