A really gorgeous Fanny and Alexander christmas tree needs lots of decorations. So far I have no garlands and no lights in this tree but I have to save something for next christmas! |

A tiny Swarowski-crystal is glittering in the tree. Use a double gold thread and pull it through the crystal into a loop. Lock the loop with a dot of glue on the last piece of thread before you pull it all through the crystal The tiny bow is made with a dollhouse size fork with four prongs. Wind thin yarn around the fork four or five times; prod another piece of yarn between the middle prongs and make a hard double knot. Make a loop for hanging. It is easy to tie if you put something with the right size between the knots. In this case I used a thin brush

In order to make the glass baubles I had to locate extremely small plastic pearls and glued gold wire into the pearl. I then dipped them into varnish and sprinkled them generously with glitter - red, gold and white snow. Finally I bent the wire into a small hook and hooked the pearl on a branch with a tiny dot of glue on the hook. I simply had to use glue - the baubles fell off whenever the tree moved

| I also made
tiny hearts with Fimo "icing" but they were too big for
this tree. |

My niece made the extremely small gold star on the picture, she makes them prettier than me. We learned how to make it by a relative from Poland a long time ago. I put a gold wire straight through the star and made a small hook. You'll find a tutorial on how to make the stars
