Once I was done decorating my house for the holidays, I started on my dolls house by making this pipe cleaner Christmas tree.

Step 1: Make the base of the tree

Start off with one green pipe cleaner and bend three little legs on the end so it stands up.

That's just adorable! I could see a row of them on the mantelpiece, decorated with strands of beads. Thanks for the idea! ( Just have to worry about keeping the cats from nobbling them to play with--"wow! Look at these neat toys Mom made for us!)"

"That's what she said..." ;-)
Otherwise, I'll totally make some to table ormanents/presents. I'm thinking of adding some sort of illumination to it, but some normal 3-5 mm LEDs would be way to big, so I think I'll just add one "candle flicker" LED (from Evil Mad Science) and a battery to the base to add some background light. (Think of a throwie, but with a flicker LED.)
