I am always trying to think of different ideas for Christmas tree decorations and I often like to use these little tree decorations as gift tags for Christmas presents – they are a great way of personalising a gift and it also adds a little extra present into the gift too!. and you can customise these to the recipients favourite colours so they know which gift is for who. My most recent Christmas tree decoration which I have used on a lot of gifts this year is a crochet folded Christmas tree with button detail – I have trees made in all different colours ready to go onto gift bags!

These little folded crochet trees are a great way to use up small amounts of leftover wool and any spare buttons – I love a project that can use up some of the smaller amounts of wool and odd buttons I have, its a great way to make space for more! I also have a sewing tutorial available for a folded fabric and button version.

Folded Crochet Christmas Tree Decoration With Button Details – Assembly

1. Take the completed chain and fold into a tree shape.

2. Cast on at the middle of the bottom of the tree. Take the 2 buttons which will form the stump and sew to attach to the base by going down through one button hole then up through the second.

3. Pull the needle through to the next folded section and sew on another 2 buttons. Continue to repeat this until you have reached the top of the tree and fasten off.

4. Take the wool and cast on at the top of the tree create a loop then sew a few stitches to secure then fasten off. If using ribbon fold in half and sew to the top of the tree with a few stitches.
