It is a little bit premature, but I decided to make a Christmas tree for the dollhouse. I decided the best course was to buy HO railway pine trees because of their realism.
I bought a pack of seven trees with the view to making them all up and putting the six I don't use on eBay. I went to a craft shop and bought a selection of beads and other shiney small things to decorate them with.
I had to glue the bases on, and it was a challenge to get them straight..
I made the stars on top with by glueing two star shaped split pins together (above).
I made baubles with beads and wire as hooks.
Because they are quite small trees, I bought two little tables for them to sit on, like Victorian Christmas trees.
I haven't decorated the rest of the trees because I am going to go back to the shops and get some different coloured beads for some variety.
For now though, they look very sweet in the parlour.
Hell oEmily,
ReplyDeleteIt is never to early to get ready for Christmas! Great job on the trees. They look great and I love them on the table. The group of trees is lovely.
Big hug,
