    Well, you don't have to print them out. You can just look at the instructions on your computer screen....

    However, based on the posts in this thread, it seems there are plenty of free tutorials out there that give the basic gist of how the trees are made, so no purchase necessary.

    And small gold grommets on the petals you want to put an ornament on.

    That would be one expensive tree! $10.00 for a 45 page PDF that you will have to print out yourself. would use a lot of paper and ink.

    I just made a Christmas tree using yoyos. Same idea. Just layer all the way to the top. On the yoyo tree you use buttons with two holes over the center of yoyo and attach them with different color pins. Looks like the tree is decorated and lit for the holiday.

    it's folded squares of fabric, applied to a styro cone, in overlapping rows starting at the bottom and working up.
