Really should've put this up before Christmas!! Early for next year?? :) I used sequins, glass beads and some bits I originally bought to make cards with to decorate my tree but you could use anything really, buttons, ribbons or wooden beads :)

Draw & cut out a Christmas tree shape and a triangle with sides the same length as the bottom of the tree
Cut out 1 triangle & 3 trees
Place or pin two of the Christmas trees together, and blanket stitch down the side in a contrasting thread
Place or pin the third tree against he other side and blanket stitch down the side
Make a knot in the cord to hang the decoration
Put the knot of the cord inside the top of the three trees & sew through it a couple of times to secure it The blanket stitch the final side of the tree
Stuff the inside really well, make sure you pack it down and get it into each of the 'branches' so you get a nice shape
Place/pin the triangle to the bottom of the tree & blanket stitch round
When you're finished do a couple of stitches to secure it & then bring the thread back through the tree to finish off
Decorate your tree with sequins, buttons, bells, beads, whatever you want! I used loads of little bits & bobs I had about :)
All finished!
