Materials

• Branches about half a centimetre thick (0.5 cm)
• Embroidery thread
• Glue gun and glue if needed

Procedure

1) Cut the branches to the desired length. If you want to make a star, all the branches should be the same length. If you want to make a Christmas tree instead, two of the branches should be the same length, while the horizontal branch should be smaller, as should the branch representing the trunk.

2) If you have a glue gun, you can glue the ends of the branches together. If you don't have a glue gun readily available, you can tie the ends of the branches together with embroidery thread instead.

3) Decorate your branch miniatures with embroidery thread.

4) At the top of your figures, attach a string so the figures have something to hang from. Voilá, now you have made your own Christmas tree figurines for decorating the Christmas tree or your home.
