Step 2 Cut the fabric slightly larger than the poster board. Step 3 Spray the fabric with spray adhesive and quickly adhere it to the poster board. Since the fabric should be slightly larger, this will al- low you to fold the edges around the board. Step 4 Once the spray adhesive is dry and the fabric is attached, form it into a cone shape and use a glue gun along the seam. Make many different sizes to form your own little Christmas forest. For variety, use vintage buttons (try spraypainting a bunch of mismatched buttons gold), or vintage lace (wrap mismatched lace around a tree).
