I might have a left a couple of trees out of the Christmas Tree Tour. But only because they’re not all decked out with glitz and glitter. And ribbons and bows.

I also left out the cute little cone trees.

An illuminated cone from Dollar Tree.

Gold beads, also from Dollar Tree.

A little hot glue and a couple of burnt fingertips later, and voila!

Hint: I quickly learned to overlap the beads as much as possible – placing the next row of beads in the gaps between the previous row. 

Now, to show what they look like lit up. 

Sophie had to get in on the action, of course.
