To get started on your dress form Christmas tree, you will need a few key materials. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
A mannequin or dress form: This will serve as the base for your dress form Christmas tree. You can purchase a mannequin or dress form online or at a local craft store. Alternatively, you can use an old dress form that you already own.
Chicken wire: This will be used to create the shape of the tree. Make sure you have enough chicken wire to cover the entire dress form.
Zip ties: These will be used to secure the chicken wire to the dress form in some places, as well as the chicken wire to itself. This is also a useful tool for securing lights, garland, and even small wreaths to the dress.
Green fabric or green garland: This will be used to cover the chicken wire and create the illusion of a tree. You can use either fabric or garland, depending on your preference.
Safety pins (or fabric pins) and/or fabric glue: These will be used to attach the green fabric or garland to the chicken wire.
Christmas lights: No Christmas tree is complete without twinkling lights. Choose white lights or opt for colored lights to add a festive touch.
Ornaments and decorative elements: To personalize your dress form Christmas tree, gather a selection of ornaments, such as gold and silver baubles, candy canes, and any other festive decorations that catch your eye.
Tree topper: Choose a tree topper that complements your dress form Christmas tree. You can go for a traditional star or opt for something more unique, like a bow or a fairy.
Faux snow or tree skirt: To add a finishing touch to your dress form Christmas tree, consider sprinkling faux snow on the branches or using a tree skirt to cover the base.
