Prairie point Christmas Tree finished!

I couldn't put up the Christmas decorations without the Prairie Point tree, so spent yesterday and last night finishing it. I removed the top and cut a wedge out to make it less wide at the bottom and more conical. I used the removed side and added two more layers at the top and turned a layer upside down to make an apex.

Then I stitched green ribbon to each of the sides, from top to bottom and added red ribbon to each side to tie as bows and connect one side to the other.

I then made lots of tiny bows and attached them to most of the points. Finally I tied all the bows at the back to create the conical tree and made a str from a black felt base, with a sparkly fabric and a later of yellow organza straight then zigzagged around to hold it together.

Our rather naff fibre optic tree is going to the naff tree graveyard tomorrow and the PP tree now has pride of place.
