How do you like the Spirograph pin?
It makes me think of ‘Zwirnsterne’ (I don’t know the English term for these) and I find that it would also make a beautiful Christmas tree ornament :)

I presented several string art ideas before and I always liked especially the letters and similar – but I never knew where to start.
Now that I know how to make a string art letter I can make everything ;-))

Isn’t this String Art mobile wonderful?
It seems to have been a storefront window decoration.
I would also love to have it in my window or at my wall :)

This year I looked just for fun for Christmas trees in the broader sense and found so many that it feels as if I’d have had to start already in August presenting them ;-)
That’s why I present here several instructions and inspirations in the three categories Christmas trees, Christmas tree table decorations and Christmas tree shaped ornaments:
Great idea: simply fill a book shelve in the right way and get your bookshelf Christmas tree immediately ;-)

Also a beautiful idea: simply fill a large beautiful picture frame with globe ornaments to get a picture frame Christmas tree.
Most suitable for people with too little room ;-)

I found this idea also extraordinary beautiful: a hanging Christmas globe ornament Christmas tree.

It doesn’t stop there: you can also do something with a white board and a lot of thread, viz. a string art Christmas tree.

I really like the wall collection Christmas tree, too, it should suit people with little room and an enthusiasm for collecting ;-)

I really like this idea, too: simply stack lots of paper and make a paper Christmas tree ;-)

Should you still have a couple of green buttons then you also can make this – as I find really cute – Christmas tree shaped ornament ;-)

While searching for something else I found a lot of instructions and tips about Crazy Daisies and had to try them immediately ;-)
As you can see on the photo, my attempt on winding daisies on my own daisy loom worked out very well.
I cut the loom (the purple item on the photo) from thick cardboard. I think that the ice cream lid loom is better, because plastic won’t loose its shape so easily, but for just a couple flowers cardboard is fine.
At my first flowers I just made a very simple backstich center, but even so I find those little flowers stunning ;-)
The dark red flower is a daisy with an open center, but I made it in a different way: I didn’t wind the thread to the other side of my selfmade cardboard loom but to another notch (always the fourth notch in place of the sixth, I think. I didn’t write it down, because I don’t like it so much).
I’m planning to make something like the shrug with a lot of flowers and a simple crochet edging.
Eventually. ;-)
