Have been crocheting Christmas tree motifs for my Christmas Cards, have been experimenting with different colours and yarns, but like using a 4ply thickness variegated yarn (have previously used this to crochet Christmas bells - see gallery pages for pictures) that has a metallic thread in it to give it a Christmassy theme. Have added pearl beads to the edges and still trying to decide what to put at the top of the tree, have crocheted a small star for some,stitched on a pink star buttons for the pinky ones but still searching for other ideas!

| For my cards I've attached a brad to the card to hang the decoration on, after Christmas it can be removed from the card and hung on the tree next year. |
I've now decided to make some Christmas bunting using the tree motif, I'm using a green crochet cotton and a 2mm crochet hook to give a delicate tree motif. Using a smallish crochet hook gives the motif a firmer finish so it will hang better
Love your designs, and also the yarn you are using.
