A Christmas tree for the table is very easy with wool/thread/rope and textile hardener. As a mold you use a styrofoam cone and you remove it after drying. To be able to make even more wire Christmas trees! If necessary, you can also use other molds, which you can remove again. Think of a wine bottle, a balloon or vase.

It is important that you first wrap the mold (in this case the styrofoam cone) withplastic wrap, so that it does not stick to the cone. There are 2 ways to get the liquid fabric hardener on the thread:

  1. Turn the rope/yarn/wool around the cone. When you're done, wash the whole with a brush or sponge with fabric hardener. This way the inside is not soaked but it also works fine.
  2. Pass the yarn through a container with fabric hardener and then turn it around the cone. Then the wire is really soaked, so the whole gets firmer and harder. Drying time takes a little long. But you're messing more.
