French Beaded Christmas Tree – PDF Pattern
Select Currency ▼USD$ 10.00 USD$ 8.00
Many have requested a separate PDF for my French Beaded Christmas Tree pattern, so I’ve made it available. This is the same pattern that was originally published in my first book “French Beading Patterns: Christmas Collection”, so if you already own that book you do not need to purchase this pattern again. The pictures above show two different trees that I’ve made from my pattern.
If you would prefer to purchase the whole Christmas Collection you can find it here: https://beadandblossom.com/product/french-beading-patterns-christmas-collection/
Description
The PDF is 14 pages long and contains 60 high quality images and figures along with detailed written instructions for making your very own tree. You will receive the PDF pattern only. No materials are included.
You need to know these French Beading techniques to make the tree:
Continuous Loops
Wire-Back Fringe
Spoke Frame
The first two techniques are taught for free in the Learn French Beading section of my website. Spoke Frame, which is used to build the tree “skirt” or base, is not taught on my website, but you should be able to figure it out from the pictures in this pattern.
The full tree measures approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall. You can make the tree shorter by leaving off the bottom layers of branches.
The PDF is written in English using both inches/ft and cm/mm for measurements.
