Hello,
It is very so easy to make this Christmas Tree. It would make a wonderful Christmas decoration in your home which is handmade. I used medium weight cotton yarn for this project and I only used 1 skein of both light and dark green yarns. The tree is created making leaf garlands, the garlands with 5, 4, and 3 leafs. Biggest garlands were used on the bottom of the tree, smallest garlands were used on the top of the tree, Written instructions and video tutorial are below.
