Little Knitted Christmas Tree Decorations


I have had so much fun making these little Christmas Trees today ......

they would make cute decorations if you add a little hanging cord.

I think I will make a few Christmas cards by sticking one of these onto coloured cardboard. Who wouldn't love that?

  2. I still remember the way we decorated real trees with ornaments and greeting cards. Its a different feeling and can't replace it with these artificial christmas trees. Nice article... +1
