While looking what decorations we could use in library for the Holidays, I stumbled upon this site and said to myself, let's try making the Christmas trees. Below is my instruction how to make them.
Supplies you need
- The site mentioned above showed wide (probably cotton) string but I used felt. I bought it at Rayher, A4 size.
- Beads
- Needle and yarn. Make sure your needle can go through the beads.
- Scissors
If you want to use felt like I did, cut it in 1 cm wide strings.
Step 2
Decide how wide your bottom of the tree will be, bend the end of the string to the middle.
Step 3
Put yarn through your needle and make 2-3 knots so it won't be pulled through the felt. Then insert the needle like shown on the picture below so you sew in also the end of the felt. Then add your first bead.
Step 4
After you added the bead, bend the felt a little smaller than the previous step like it is shown on picture below. Add another bead. Keep repeating this step until you are almost out of felt.
Step 5
At the end bend the felt one last time up or down and on top add the last bead.
Finishing step
On top of the last bead, after you tightened all the previous steps together, add another 2-3 knots so the bead won't go through it. You can either cut the leftover of the yarn or tie the two ends together to make a lovely ornament.
