Lorax trees

This past weekend we were in Long Beach and decided to take the kids to

see the Lorax...and can I just say it was the sweetest movie.

I especially love the "UNLESS" rock and plan to make one in my pottery class because the meaning and phrase behind it is so incredibly Perfect for anyone at any age...I won't spoil. it for you - just go watch...

anyway, recently in preparation of my Spring Boutique I created these

Easter trees - I made some Halloween & Christmas trees awhile back

and thought Spring needed their own set of trees

so here they are:

Cute right?

when my kids saw these they automatically

thought of the trees in Lorax...really wistful and dreamy - sweet - I know.

I made these using the following items...

paper machie cones

yarn with varied colors & adhesive

The easiest way I found to do them is to paint on some tacky glue

up to a point then wrap the yarn around and over lapping to give it

some dimension...I added some pom poms to the top and some

glitter to areas to make them a bit more fantasy like.

Here are the three I made...I am trying to figure out if I should add something else to these or leave them alone...

these would be fun to add to a table or centerpiece for Spring or Easter

I am linking these up to the following parties:
