The first stages of this turned out to be very fiddly. Attaching small hooks to each of the baubles turned out to be tricky enough, but cutting lengths of fishing line and using the crimp beads to form a loop at either end (while making sure it was the right length of course) took a lot of concentration. It didn't help that the crimp beads weren't gripping the line very well so we ended up doubling it up to provide a bit more friction. It took the three of us several hours to get all the baubles on strings!
As we completed each piece of line we connected it to a bauble and hung it from Chloe's airer to try and maintain some sense of order. They were all desperate to get tangled, but we were very firm that this was not what we wanted!
After using more of the fishing line to suspend a rack from a couple of picture hooks it was time to start assembling the tree. We'd followed the lengths of line from our model blogpost and so just gradually worked our way through them while trying to get the right balance and positioning.
Finally, we added an angel.... Because all trees need something to top them off.
