christmas tree garlands

i have been inspired to celebrate our first year of christmas tree harvesting with having all handmade decorations for our tree at home

no plastic, no imports

i tweaked to suburban jubilee's colour theme idea

ours will be cherry red and turquoise blue

and then i was inspired by clara's herculean efforts for crochet tree decorations

so i firstly decided to dispense with the plastic little beads we normally seem to have,

replacing them with pure wool leaf garlands

in another colour

rather then procrastinate i thought i had better get this post up and some how to's on making your own 

(should you find yourself with that illusive thing known as free time)

i'll need a few more metres of garland !
