Tree Trimming: With a yarn needle and bright colored yarn (variegated in sample), stitch lines in a zigzag pattern across each tree section. See main photo for placement suggestions.
Additional items could be added, such as buttons, a star or pompom on top.
Stack the tree section on top of each other. With a yarn needle and matching yarn, sew the layers together at the top of the tree.

Finish off, leaving a yarn tail for sewing the last row to the bottom section of the tree.
With a yarn needle, use the yarn tail from the trunk to sew the trunk to the back/remaining loops at the middle of the bottom of the tree.
