Tulle Organza Christmas Tree Craft.
This really is SO simple to make.

1 dowel stick 18″ long–1/4 diameter
1 5×5 wood block
1 cardboard circle 8″ in diameter
small ornaments, angel, bow or ornament for top
glitter
Cut Nylon/Tulle into pieces: Sizes are as follows.
Cut one strip of each:
cut one strip 15″ long x 72″ wide
14″ long x 72″ wide
13″ long x 72″ wide
12″ long x 72″ wide

Directions:
Fold strips in half starting with 15×72″, making it 7 1/2 x 72″. Run heavy basting thread close to fold 1/4″. Tie both ends of thread together as tightly as possible, tying several knots. Open material and ruffle. Slip disc over dowel stick which has been mounted in wood base. Round cardboard goes on first to support ruffle. Repeat for each strip. After all net discs have been placed on dowel stick, ruffle completely. Add small ornaments. Put glue on edges and add glitter for extra decorations.
You can use all different colors of Tulle. These are great for weddings as well.
I hope you all have having a wonderful Day.
Take Care!

I made this tree many years ago Instead of basting the fold I used large rubber bands. I’m not sure how I did this, I am going to practice. Thanks for restoring this beautiful little tree.
