Ok a year ago I talked about this tree I wanted to make and finally I scanned the pic from the book! I might give it a go soon (we will be gone for Thanksgiving weekend and no puter and if I can't sleep LOL might as well bring it) and see if it turns out! I have all the supplies here!

ooooo what book is that from?

Just hopping on so I know what book too! And maybe directions?

neat looking! Is it chenille stems (pipe cleaners) or chenille thread wrapped around something?

that looks neat.....I can't wait to see yours.

ohhhh, that looks cool. I might have to try one too.

I want to know what book it is from too! I love it!

Making Fairies & Fantastical Creatures by Julie Sharp

It is pipe cleaners. The full size one takes 380 brown and 100 green! I'm thinking of trying the same technique on a smaller scale first. The top is a canopy that can be removed! I'll let ya know how it goes!

Ok I could not wait so I made one today:) I will take a pic soon! It did turn out pretty cool! I'm glad I made a smaller one cause it took 5 hours to make!

I can't wait to see your mini.

That tree is REALLY cool.

My smaller version is still like about a foot tall! The size the book talks about must be huge! I'm also thinking of making a canopy that is reds, oranges, and yellows for fall! So I can interchange them- the canopy- green part- comes off.

A foot tall? I was imagining a mini like half that size. Buckets, the book tree must be HUGE!

I think the fall tree would be really handsome too.

C'mon, quit holding out, show us a pic. :p
