Step One
Snugly, wrap the trunk of the manzanita tree in ribbon and glue each end to secure.

Step Two
Cut clusters of snowballs off of the snowball-flurry decoration and hang them on the branches.

Step Three
Hang red baubles too. This will really help achieve the Christmas tree look.

Step Four
Starting from the base of the manzanita tree, trail fleece yarn around the trunk and wind up into the branches.
You may need to glue the beginning of the yarn to the base.

Step Five
Add some decoration at the base of the tree by sticking left over baubles and snowballs using a glue gun. This will also disguise some of the glue near the base.

Step Six
To finish the advent tree; hang your paper advent calendar gift bags sporadically or numerically, it's up to you.

You can fill the little advent gift bags with anything you like from chocolate to toys or even beauty-themed gifts.
