Christmas Decorations

When I saw the Challenge at ABC Christmas I decided to show my hand made decorations, last Christmas, apart from some glass ornaments these were the only decorations on the tree, I think I made about 100 of each, the snowflakes only took about 15 min to crochet and after the first few I didn't need to refer to the pattern. The pine cones gathered last Spring on our daily walk ( to allow them to dry out) had a small hole drilled at the top (thank you to hubby for that, he was much more proficient at it than me) then I using my glue gun I added the thread to hang them by, some red berries and finally a tartan bow, The total cost couldn't have been more than £5 , the most expensive item being the crochet cotton.I really liked the finished tree.
