<span style="font-size: 16pt;">If you are looking for a Christmas project that is on a larger scale, this might be it. In 2016, I made my first Christmas tree with a cutaway revealing a lighted winter scene. I decided to revisit the project, c</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">reate two more trees, and make a video tutorial.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ad54/lauracars/BlueTreeCombo_2vujPorYtRSzviBecmk7AK.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="524" height="586" src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ad54/lauracars/BlueTreeCombo_2vujPorYtRSzviBecmk7AK.jpg" width="384" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">I thought a series of these trees would look lovely arranged on a fireplace mantel p</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">aired with my Jeweled Trees from a previous project (see a link to the project below). These would also be lovely for a table centerpiece. Each tree features a different color scheme, decorative embellishments, and the house inside.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><a href="http://artfullymusing.blogspot.com/search/label/Jeweled%20Tree" style="font-size: 21.3333px;"><b>TUTORIAL ON MAKING JEWELED TREES</b></a></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">As an extra touch, they are lighted (battery operated), giving off a soft glow</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ad54/lauracars/GreenTreeCombo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="515" height="583" src="https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/ad54/lauracars/GreenTreeCombo.jpg" width="375" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Like many of my projects, I use various chipboard kits from AlphaStamps to create houses inside the trees.

Make lovely gifts to go under the Christmas tree, to sit in a nursery scene, or to fill a toy shop- or even an antique shop. Set up a game on a table by the fireside, just as families will be doing across the land this Christmas.
