This colourful Christmas tree is the fifth and last in my festive series of potholders.

This project involves making small decorations from beads to decorate the tree, but you can of course use any decorations you wish. Maybe small charms, or buttons, or embroidery - the choice is endless! I enjoy working with beads, so this was a lovely design to work with.

The holly leaves are crocheted in Size 20 crochet yarn, so a little fiddly, but well worth the effort, I think.

Only uses about 50gr of yarn in total, although there are several colours involved.

This is an original design by LoopyLous.
