The hardest part is waiting for the glue to dry. Hot glue will result in melting the Styrofoam, so you must use tacky glue and hold each piece in place until nearly dry or the pieces will slide off. For the one design, you will need sewing pins to secure the denim.

Many years ago, while at a craft fair with my mother in law I learned to make a miniature Christmas tree from green pipe cleaners (or chenille stems for you language purists!). You started with a small block base with a thin dowel sticking up. Then you took a length of pipe cleaner (about 6" or so) and twisted around the dowel.

found this one on martha stewarts website!
Thanks meluvchris. This isn't the same tree but cute none the less. I will have to make this one too. I've been experimenting on getting the fuller tree I posted and am getting close.
I wish I did no. I had a bid on the most beautiful Christmas tree with accessories tree made of pipe cleaners it was full the most beautiful tree I've ever seen. I fell asleep and someone beat my bid by a quarter. Wish I could help or you could help me.
Did you ever find out the measurements and number of limbs? My mother made us the same tree and she is no longer living. I do not want to take it apart. I remember helping her make them, but I cannot find the directions.
I have the pattern back in Maine in my storage.I made them trees as gifts back in 1993.I found a pattern pretty much the same(different color pipe cleaners)Go to ideas-diy.com(found it on that site,just needs base)
I just saw this today. Pipe cleaner Christmas tree: Cut 24 of each: 9", 8", 7" and 24-36 6". Starting with 9", work from bottom up twisting around dowel. I used a dowel glued into a wood base.
Does anyone have the directions on making the Christmas tree with wire hangers?

A friend's daughter went to a party and made a really cute Christmas tree out of corks, painted it green and white on the top for snow and then put it in a painted clay pot. They used wire to hold it together. does anyone have instructions on how to make one?

Perhaps you have seen one of these at a craft show, but it was too costly. You can make your own Christmas tree wall hanging, using your old costume jewelry or pieces from yard sales and thrifty stores. This is a page about making a costume jewelry Christmas tree.

This small Christmas made of organza and hot glue will perfectly decorate your interior. It's lightweight and durable, so you don't have to worry about dropping it. You can insert a Christmas garland inside.
Organza and beads look great together. I used them to create this Christmas tree. You can use an LED garland instead of beads or make the Christmas tree without adding beads.
