Christmas Tree

Step 2

Levels 3 & 4

Sew the base just like Level 2 with R8. Then add another six loops made with R10 (Level 3 - 8 pcs and Level 4 – 12 pcs ).

Step 4

Levels 7 & 8

Use the entire Level 5 as a base. Add new loops to the tops of the existing loops with R10 (Level 7 - 14 pcs, Level 8 - 18 pcs).

Step 6

Finish off the loose wire ends by twisting them together or by winding two wires.

Step 8

Attach them to the Levels using rings:

On Level 1 and 2 attach 4 mm beads on every other loop; On Levels 3 through 6 attach 6 mm beads on every other loop; and On Levels 7 through 9 attach 9 mm beads on every other loop. On Level 10 add 8 mm beads on each loop.

Step 10

Putting it all Together

1. You will need three wires that are 0.90 mm in thickness and approximately 20 cm long.
2. Measure 5 cm from each end (all six ends) and bend to nearly 90 degrees.                                                                                                       3. Thread R6 and make an eyelet on each of the six ends.
4. Put wires together and thread 6 x R1 on these „trunk“ wires.
5. Then switch levels and thread 1 x R1.
6. You will not add R1 on Level 1 – instead create the treetop: First, on top of the last R1, cut off two wires using large cutting pliers.
Tie two rings on the wire using 6 x R8 and 6 x R10.

Step 12

7. Brush glue onto the wires and set them back into place.
8. Once the glue is dry, decorate the tree with gold thread.
