Then take your glue and put a generous amount on one side off the green felt and then apply it right in the center of the black felt. Take your glitter and string it across the tree to make it look like Christmas lights. After this process you can decorate your tree however you imagine. I put a picture of my 10 year old nephews tree he finished last week. </span><span class="Apple-style-span">Please scroll down for more easy decorations</span></i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcFKXAgXbaIIZn8uxnwNWIdB_YXytSHDc5QPba3DROH9PwBk6zeoLuwOv4-rhj0i4duYhscHD2BhwRPenSrR9sbByUrp0eRZvpbqKKwLY7jT0hXWHR7h2gbVT1Jv5Isp_M7oYslNS1bo/s1600/108_1225.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHcFKXAgXbaIIZn8uxnwNWIdB_YXytSHDc5QPba3DROH9PwBk6zeoLuwOv4-rhj0i4duYhscHD2BhwRPenSrR9sbByUrp0eRZvpbqKKwLY7jT0hXWHR7h2gbVT1Jv5Isp_M7oYslNS1bo/s320/108_1225.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />
