The fairy's Christmas tree: it is decorated by the fairy and so it must be magic, light and fine as the fairy.
Choose what you need according to the fairy style and colour. Look at the photo and its enlargement for more details.
Sprinkle the Christmas balls with the glue and then roll them in the glitter dust. Let them dry very well.
Cut the felt into different shapes: stars, circles, leaves, drops ... and then glue the little pearls and baguettes (use the extra strong glue). Let them dry and then thread into the gold string at regular distance. Felt chain is ready.
Thread the bigger pearls into the gold string at regular distance helping yourself with a needle and a needle threader if necessary. Remember to make an overhand knot after every pearl with the string. If the hole of pearls is too large secure the thread by going back and forth through the pearl twice or more with needle and thread. Pearl chain is ready.
Cut long pieces from Arista crochet thread; you have to place them around the pine as a spider's web.
Adobe the pine. Place the fairy. Hang the Christmas balls. Wind the felt chain around the pine and then pearl chain. Al last place the pieces of Anchor thread as a spider's web.
The Christmas tree is ready!
Note
It is OK for every room but especially for children room. You can also adobe your children or favour shop with it!
