As you’ve probably noticed, I make a LOT of my own holiday decorations. Especially when it comes to Christmas I make what I want so my decor can match what I had in my head!
About half my wardrobe has some sort of leopard print on it, so it’s safe to say I like it. This year’s tree theme is leopard print, brown, and gold and it’s a WHOLE lot harder to find leopard print Christmas decorations than you’d think!
If you like these DIY Leopard Christmas Trees, you’d probably also really like my DIY flannel trees and my DIY feather trees! Both are equally as simple to make and turn out SO cute!
How do you make these DIY Leopard Christmas Trees?
Step 1: Gather your supplies.
You will need:
Step 2: Cut your fabric into strips.
The amount of fabric you will need for this project will depend on how many Leopard Trees you’re making and the size of the cones you’re using.
I used 8″, 10″, and 12″ trees for this project. I used a different leopard print fabric on each one just to mix it up.
A quarter of a yard of fabric would have easily done all three cones.
Cut your fabric into 1″-2″ wide strips for the length of the fabric. I needed anywhere from 2-3 long strips to do each cone.
Step 3: Glue on the fabric to the cone.
Start at the bottom of the cone and use a hot glue gun to attach the fabric to the cone.
Let the fabric overlap a bit on the bottom of the cone to ensure full coverage. When you’re done, you can go back and glue the overlapping fabric to the inside of the cone.
Place a line of glue, and then wrap the fabric, making sure it slightly overlaps the fabric row before it.
Continue to the top, using a new strip of fabric as needed.
Once you get to the top, trim off the excess, and glue down the small bit at the tip of the cone.
When it’s finished, this is what your DIY Leopard Christmas Trees should look like! They’re very easy and forgiving, and teens could easily do this craft with little to no assistance!
Tips and Variations for your Leopard Trees:
- Fabric. If your fabric is stretchy, stretch it some as you glue it on the cones, but don’t stretch too much or it won’t attach well.
- Colors. Choose different colors of leopard print, or keep them all the same. Go wild and get pinks and blues or reds and greens!
- Size. You can find sets of multiple sizes of these trees on Amazon here, or you can get them on Hobby Lobby’s website too!
