Tree is DONE!

YAY!! My advent calendar is finally done! I spent all day Sunday finishing the tree. I hand lots of little steps to finish:
* Cut the fusible interfacing to fit the back of the tree
* Pin and fuse it on
* Pin the stump on
* Pin and sew the tree backing on
* Iron on the snow patches (I used heat'n bond from JoAnns)
* Attach the numbers I cut out of felt that I found with a sticky side (from Michael's



* Cut out my star and attach it to the top



I love the way it turned out. I am so excited to use it for years to come. The only thing I wish I had done, and at some point will add, is a way to hang it up. Maybe a few loops on some of the branches or something.

Thank you again to Abby at A Feathered Nest for this wonderful idea, I cannot wait to see how yours turned out!
