- Then, cover the sides of the tree with colorful rhinestones.
- Then cut a small square out of the brown foam sheet and hot glue it to the bottom back of the ornament. This will create the trunk of the Christmas tree.

- Lastly, hang your ornament on the Christmas tree and marvel at how adorable it turned out.
