Obviously, green is a popular Christmas color.
Specifically, a green that reminds us of evergreen trees.

Assemble the materials.
Cut the tissue paper into 1" squares.
Step Two: Paint the cone.
Place the cone on something that can turn (like a cake turner) if possible.
Then paint the cone using green paint.
Allow the paint to dry fully.
Step Three: glue the tissue paper on.
I suggest starting on the bottom of the cone and working your way up with the tissue paper.
Also, work in small batches when it comes to gluing.
Apply a small amount glue to a small area of the cone first.
Then twist a tissue paper square around the end of a dull pencil and then press the square from the pencil on to the glue.

You can add other colored tissue squares as needed for accents.
