Candy Canes and Christmas Trees Tutorial

Frosty morning, cosy evening and beautiful decorations.. Christmas is in the air. With the days short and the dark nights long, this is the perfect time of year to craft!

The Christmas tree and candy cane designs are elegant and simple and super easy to make! Impress your friend and family with your new Christmas decorations. They are the perfect finishing touch for gift wrapping, or part of your table decor... the possibilities are endless.

Below you will find two video's, one for each designs, that can be played on any smart device using the QR code that came in your box. You can Play, Pause, Rewind and Replay at your own pace. Each set of cords is labelled for ease of use.

The designs use a small amount of knots so this box is perfect for all skill levels.

Helpful Tip: You may want some tape or a clipboard to hold down the decorations while you make them. I use a cork-board and pins to secure the macrame while I know these designs.

The Christmas tree is the perfect starter, as it is quick and easy to learn.
