We saw these cute decorations on another blog and thought they would be fun to make. There's a station to make your own at today's pot luck!
All you need are two worms and a needle and thread. Through trial and error we've found that the best worms are blanket weight ones.
Hold two worms together, and insert your needle about 1" from the end. You'll do the entire process by loading everything onto the needle and THEN pulling it through. Fold over the uppermost worm on to the needle, and make sure you're happy with it - too wide or too narrow? Take the lower worm and fold it over on to the needle.
Keep doing this, reducing the length of the "branches" until you're satisfied with the size of your tree. Pull the thread through (you knotted it at the bottom, didn't you?) and then secure the thread. Sew or glue a pompon or bead on the top, et voila!
At this point, you can add an ornament hanger, if your project is destined for the tree. Or....you can glue a brooch mechanism to the back and use it as a pin....or if you want something really goofy, you can add earring wires and make a pair of earrings!
