Ribbon Christmas tree Decoration


Materials:

·         8 – 15 Beads (largish)
·         30 – 40 cm of ribbon (at least 1.5 cm wide)
·         Needle
·         Thread

Instructions:

  1. 1. Cut a length of cotton and thread on a bead.  I used  a larger bead for the base.  Secure the bead using beading methods, or for not-so-crafty people like me, thread the cotton through the bead a few times and complete with a knot.
  2. Start with about 6 cm of ribbon, and fold over.  Push the needle up through the centre.
  3. Add a bead.
  4. Fold the ribbon back, making it sit just a little in from the last layer.
  5. Thread the needle in the centre.
  6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you have a Christmas tree shape!  Finish off with a bead at the top, and secure it with a knot.
