0:02
make these super cute Christmas tree
0:04
gift tags so you're going to need some
0:06
fourl or fingering weight yarn a 2.5 mm
0:10
hook some scissors a darning needle some
0:13
gift tags some dwine buttons things for
0:16
embellishments and some hot glue going
0:18
to start by putting a slip knot on my
0:31
okay I'm going to start by putting a
0:32
single crochet in the second chain from
0:39
here and then I'm going to single
0:42
crochet into the next five
0:47
stitches so that will
0:51
of six single crochet
1:00
we're now going to work a decrease
1:01
stitch that is single crocheting two
1:03
stitches together so I'm going to put my
1:06
hook into this first chain pull up a
1:09
loop then go into the second
1:13
chain pull up a loop and then yarn over
1:16
and pull through all of those
1:18
loops and then I'm going to continue by
1:22
crochet in each of the remaining chains
1:31
for a total of six single crochet so
1:35
we've got six single crochet a decrease
1:41
crochet we're now going to chain one and
1:44
turn from now on we're going to be
1:46
working into the back Loops only so I'm
1:49
going to single crochet into the next
1:52
five stitches through the back
2:16
4 and five then going to single crochet
2:26
together like so and then see crochet in
2:42
stitches and then go to chain one and
2:45
turn the next row we're going to single
2:47
crochet five and remember we're only
3:16
five now going to work a decrease so
3:26
together and we're then going to single
3:28
crochet in the remaining five
3:48
4 and five and then we chain one and
3:52
turn in this next row we're going to
4:11
decrease single crochet two
4:15
together and then single crochet in each
4:17
of the remaining five
4:20
stitches sometimes that Stitch at the
4:22
end can be difficult to see but don't
4:27
it and then we're going to chain one and
4:30
turn now you're going to continue like
4:32
this decreasing one stitch in the center
4:34
every row now the way that you can
4:35
remember exactly how many stitches you
4:37
need is for Row one you single crochet
4:40
six then decrease then single crochet
4:43
six so the number at the beginning and
4:45
the end is the same for row two you're
4:49
going to reduce that by one so if the
4:50
previous row is the same at the
4:52
beginning and the end the next row
4:54
you're going to Red reduce that number
4:55
by one so your single crochet five make
5:00
and single crochet six when you have a
5:02
row where the beginning and the end are
5:04
different the following row they will be
5:06
the same so you will single crochet
5:09
5 decrease single crochet 5 the
5:12
following row single crochet four
5:15
decrease single crochet five the
5:18
following row single crochet four
5:19
decrease single crochet four and just
5:21
keep going and I'll meet you back around
5:25
11 so I'm ready to start row 11 I'm
5:31
turn so we're going to single
5:33
crochet in that first
5:42
decrease and then single crochet in the
5:47
Stitch chain one and turn I'm going to
5:52
one then make a decrease
6:01
chain one and turn and then we're just
6:03
going to make a decrease in those final
6:10
stitches and then you can fasten off now
6:12
in order to turn these into gift tags
6:15
you can use various things to embellish
6:17
them all I did was take a darning needle
6:23
twine and I just threaded it through the
6:26
tip of the tree there and then tied it
6:29
on to the gift tag the back of the gift
6:33
tag I I stamped with some rubber stamps
6:35
uh you can just write it on if you don't
6:37
have those and they the trees were
6:39
embellished uh this one with lots of
6:41
little tiny buttons which I just hot
6:43
glued on and then I used a larger Brown
6:46
button for the trunk which I just tied
6:48
twine this one I just tied on a little
6:51
star and this one I had this little cute
6:54
owl button that I just glued on with
6:55
