Ribboned Christmas Tree Craft

I visited Makerfield's Trefoil Guild.  The Guild is a group for Girlguiding leaders from age 18 years to 70+ years etc and is for active or retired or inactive ladies.  Three of them are active guiders including myself.  "Active" means that they are younger than the retiring age of 65 years as a leader with a unit pack.  However, it does make for interesting conversation and sometimes the majority of the times are held around a table outside the host's house in a restaurant or pub!

Last week we were shown by Susan Hughes, who is the owner of Past Times in Ashton-in-Makerfield near Wigan and a new member to the group.  Susan has always had the November meeting to show us a christmas craft.  This year it was how to make Christmas Trees from some Baker Ross polystrene cones, 4 yards of christmas ribbon and a small collection of short pins and a metallic star! 

Some made all red or all white ribbon but I fancied two tone with more white at the top as if it was snow .......!   This is my creation!
