OUR Christmas Tree 2022

Finished!

---

Doing the head!

Cute little stormtrooper head

Starting skeleton

Decided to go with evergreen PWN snow capped pine tree look

---

Always the ugliest part. Early assembly.

---

Leaves way too concentrated but I just need to see square inches that I'd done so far. Going to probably tear apart and resew with plain panels later.

---

You may or may not notice, but I have left the top of the top piece with a hole so that over the holidays we can choose to either change toppers or what not. I will have to make a super long panel (like over a foot and a half long) and make a base spine winding-y and then graft in the little branches I made. This is just going to be too packed/crowded. 

---

I guess I forgot to take pictures but the spine/wrap panel did end up bein almost 2 ft long. You can sort of see it now, how much it extended the height of the tree and made it less SQUASHED because I didn't have to sew the panels to each other. A main tree that I sewed panels onto instead. 

---

 Apparently I also didn't take pictures of the stuffing. After stuffing, I had to "plug" the bottom. Stuffed it, then sewed the bottom flat avoiding the tree feet.

---

After the tree itself was packed and good to go, I cut and sewed a circular panel (poked holes through and sewed ring/spacers around the feet holes) and then tuck the edges in.
