ASSEMBLY:
Using the center yarn of each cone, use your yarn needle to sew each cone to the one underneath it by passing the yarn through the top of each cone and tying a knot. Repeat the process until all cones are nestled together. Then sew your star onto the top.
BEAD TUTORIAL:
Make your thread and your yarn needle, insert your thread through the top of your tree and down through the center, leaving a long tail out of the top. Then remove your yarn needle and place the long tail of thread at the top onto your needle. Weave once through the bottom of your star, then down through the tree center. Remove your yarn needle and place your two strands of thread on your beading tool and insert your beads onto your thread. Secure in place.
