Continuing work on the coral pink Christmas tree. On a side note, I had a big project come up in the past month, so I won’t be able to make two trees. I do still plan to make a second to sell, but it might not be this year.
In getting back to the tree I had started, I did make a quick change to the lighting. I’m still using warm white string lights from Evan Designs, but I swapped out the 3V 26-light string for the 7-19V 26-light string (listed as 6-18V 26-light string on the website). The reason for this is the 7-19V string has a smaller circuit pack than the AA battery holder. I can make a faux gift box to hide the circuit more easily.
I used a 9V battery while working, though this string can be plugged into the 12V dollhouse system. The lights are plenty bright with the 9V battery. The switch can be purchased from Evan Designs as well.
I opted for the silver Kreinik Micro Ice Chenille for the garland, tacking it in place with light glue here and there.
We are ready for ornaments now.
The various tones of the ornaments should work well with the pink and silver.
