This 3D iron bead Christmas tree was made by my 9-year-old daughter for a school Christmas competition 🎄⭐️🎅. When we were making a wreath from La Manuli Christmas set, a message came across about a Christmas tree competition, so the choice of technique was quite simple. Especially since the set included a pattern for a similar, but smaller 3D Christmas tree.

You will need
- Iron beads – we used La Manuli ironing beads, which we have from the Christmas, Beauty, Super Heroes sets. A set of green and glitter beads is also available in the La Manuli store.
- Large square boards – the Christmas tree is the size of 2 boards
- Star pad – to make a star on the top of the Christmas tree
- Iron
- String – silver string looks nice and gives the Christmas tree more shine.
- Hot glue
- Christmas tree base – we used a wooden disc, but it can also be a circle cut out of cardboard.

🎄 The first stage is to arrange the two parts of the Christmas tree. Each part takes 2 square pads. The base is the entire width of the pad and then narrows towards the top every 4 rows. Please note that one part has a blank center column at the bottom and the other has a blank center column at the top.
🌟 The next step is to prepare the star and baubles. The star is also 3D and consists of two parts. The baubles can be strung on a string to form a chain or left loose and glued to the Christmas tree.
⭐️ The last stage is to connect all the elements together. First, connect the two parts of the Christmas tree and glue them to the base. Then assemble the star and stick it on the top of the Christmas tree. The last step is to wrap the Christmas tree with a chain with baubles.

Nothing gives more satisfaction than doing something yourself. I haven’t even thought about DIY as my hobby, I’ve just done different “projects” when it was needed. Sometimes it’s a disguise for the Masquerade Party in kindergarten. Another time, cutting out the pumpkin and baking the witch’s fingers for Haloween. Or simply organizing holiday souvenirs. Now I decided to share my realizations with you. Let’s go it together!
