Instructions

Cut tubes into six 1" rings. Paint green. Let dry. Glue the rings together to form the shape of a tree as shown above.  Punch a hole in the top ring and tie on a piece of cord to make a hanger. Spread a thin layer of tacky glue inside each ring. Crumple up 1/4 sheets of green tissue paper and push a piece into each tube ring. Use a toothpick and dab glue on tissue. Place a sequin on each dab of glue.
