Decorating the tree at Christmas is always the part of the festive preparations I look forward to the most. Many of the decorations on our Christmas tree are homemade and it is always a joy to unpack these little ornaments year after year. Christmas can be a time for reflection and so many of these decorations hold memories. These rainbow-bright silk thread decorations remind me of little dancing figures or angels as they twist and turn among the green foliage. The metal parts are D rings, but if you can’t find them, you could buy some cheap hoop earrings in different sizes instead. I used embroidery floss (thread) to make mine, but you have to separate the six strands, so it is better to use brightly coloured sewing thread. If you do use embroidery floss, the single strand is thicker than sewing thread, so you won’t have to wrap it around the D ring quite as many times.
