The store-bought version cost $45 a set; my version cost about $20.75. I purchased all the supplies at Jo-Ann Fabrics. Here's what they look like when they're finished:
You will need the following supplies: 3 different sizes of styofoam cones; rhinestone crystals; black vinyl that looks like leather; 3 poms in different sizes, red microsuede (don't buy the stretchy kind); and white fur trim (I used less than 1/4 of a yard). You will also need a hot glue gun and freezer paper or some other large paper (newspaper would work great, too).
I used the paper to make a template for each cone, so I wouldn't make any mistakes when cutting the fabric. Here's what it looked like after I traced the templates onto the fabric and cut each one:
The only step after that was to glue everything together. My tray came from a thrift store for $2; I spray-painted it green, then I added a few holiday bulbs. Thank you, Thrifty Decor Chick!
