Wonderful Halos Tree and Presents DIY
I love how sweet and delicious Wonderful Halos are. And I am grateful to be lucky enough to have worked with Wonderful Halos several times. I am excited to work with them again this holiday season on this Wonderful Halos Tree and Presents DIY. I was gifted everything I needed to create and share this adorable craft with you. Let’s jump right on into this craft.
This beautiful Wonderful Halos Tree and Presents DIY was created by Jodie Levine. TIP: If the adhesive dots aren’t sticking to the mandarins, wash them with soapy water and dry them very well before adhering anything to them.
Supplies
• Wonderful Halos Mandarins
• Small cake stand or platter
• Adhesive dots
• Toothpicks
• Snips of greenery (such as arborvitae, boxwood, or pine)
• Ribbon or twine
• Scissors
• Tags (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
To make the first row: Place an adhesive dot on the bottom of a Wonderful Halos mandarin and adhere it to the center of your cake stand. Place glue dots on the bottom of six more Halos mandarins and place them on the cake stand to surround the one in the center.
To make the second row: Grab 7 more Halos mandarins and place glue dots on the sides of six mandarins to adhere them in a ring around the others. Place a few glue dots on the mandarins in the first row and place the new row on top, turned, so that the rows are staggered.
Step 2
To make the third row: Use 5 toothpicks to poke 5 Halos mandarins together into a circle and place them on top.
Step 3
To make the fourth row: Use 3 toothpicks to poke 3 Halos mandarins together into a triangle, and place them on top.
To make the top: Poke a piece of greenery into the top of a single Halos mandarin and place it on top.
Step 4
To make presents: Tie thin ribbons or twine around a Halos mandarin and knot. Tuck in a little sprig of greenery.
Optional
Tie a tag to your Halos mandarin present and use it as a place card!
