I have decided to enter some of my hand-made items into the Long Island Fair this year. I haven't done so in a few years so I have several items that can be entered. I am going to enter my Fans and Feathers Shawl,
the Fresh Till Cowl,
Autumn Angel,
and the crocheted Christmas Tree that I made for my son.
The first three have been completed for some time, but last Saturday, I finally got around to assembling the Christmas Tree.
All the way up until....
Each layer is stacked on a size 10 knitting needle that is pushed through a foam circle.
Layer by layer is added and glued.All the way up until....
the spire is on the top.
It was a slow progress waiting for the craft glue to dry, but I prefer it to the glue gun when working with yarn.
You may recall that I already made one of these for my daughter. The only change is in the skirt. I had a wee bit of variegated Christmas yarn that I decided to use to in place of some of the white on the skirt before the red edging.
The day after I glued the tree together, I glued on almost 80 small pom-poms.
I love it. Now my son will have some Christmas decor for his new apartment. But first it has to go to the Fair.
Thanks for stopping by!
