To add to tree, place ornaments where you would like them positioned and using a tapestry needle sew directly onto tree.

Row 4 – Chain 1. 1 SC into each bobble stitch.
FASTEN OFF
Attach your button of choice to the middle of the tree topper with your tapestry needle.
ATTACHING TREE PIECES
To attach the tree together you will: Lay out the 3 sections from the top piece to the bottom with the wrong side facing you (picture below shows how it should look with wrong side facing). Lay the bottom section overlapping the middle section by an inch and a half. Take the long piece of yarn you left after you fastened off the middle section and sew together. Repeat the same with the top and middle section except overlap 2 inches.
ATTACHING TREE TRUNK
To attach the tree trunk, you will use a tapestry needle. Position the trunk between the middle two shells (there should be a total of 8 shells at the bottom). Using the tapestry needle go through the bottom stitches of that last row (which will be row 12 of bottom section of tree) and then back through the tree trunk, continue doing this until the tree trunk is fully attached.
ADDING TASSELS
To make tassels, cut yarn in 6” pieces. Taking two strands at a time attach to the last row of shells in the middle section and to the last row of shells of the top section as well.
ADDING “GARLAND”
Garland, as I like to think of it, would be referring to the red and gold yarn that is woven into the loops of each of the bottom 2 rows of shells on each section of the tree. To do this cut a long piece of yarn and thread it through your tapestry needle. Take your needle and insert it into the outer loop of shell section, weaving around each loop (see picture below).
ATTACHING TREE TOPPER
To attach tree topper, take a piece of yarn in the gold color and thread through your tapestry needle. Then insert it through the middle section of the back of the tree topper. Place the tree topper on top of the top section of the tree, overlap as much or as little as you would like. Then just take your tapestry needle and sew directly onto the treetop section. Fasten off and weave in ends.
ATTACHING BRANCH
*You can omit to attach the branch to your wall hanging and just use pushpins as stated below*
To attach the branch to your wall hanging, thread yarn through your tapestry needle. Place branch right below the tree topper on your wall hanging, with your tapestry needle, go in through the backside of one side then over the branch and then back through the same spot that you came in first. Repeat this until you get to the end of the treetop. Weave in ends.
To hang I used 3 small pushpins and placed them at the top of the tree topper and on both sides of it. The pushpins I used were clear.
And that my friends are how you make your very own Evergreen Christmas Tree Wall Hanging! Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season!!!!
