Step 1: Beaded Christmas Tree Tutorial
I did this type of ornament back in the early 1990s. I purchased a kit and spent my time making this gorgeous mini tree. This was even before I got it into my head to have my own dollhouse. I decided that this may be a great *watching tv* craft and I could make some mini purchasing cash by selling the end result.
I found these instructions online and I want to give a shout out to Donna Dickt who made this tutorial possible for me to elaborate on. The instructions in their entirety can be found on the DIYNetwork.com.
Supplies you will need:
To Bead the tree:
5 hanks of size 11" green seed beads
60 yards of copper coated wire, 24 gauge, green
11 re-sealable bags (to store branches in seperate layers)
To assemble tree:
3 stem wires, 16 gauge
green floral tape
1 lb Sculpy
Industrial strength multi purpose glue
1 inch terra cotta pot
To decorate tree:
1 strand of mini lights (20 lights)
star for top of tree
tree skirt
mini packages and toys
I will also be doing a tut on making mini ornaments for the tree toward the end of the assembly. I will list the supplies then.
