It's not the Christmas season without creating a tree! I have made these many times, but not this large. It stands 16" tall and has the penny ornaments on both sides of the tree so that you can set it on a table! I stitched it entirely by hand. The star on top is a rusty tin. I have it secured in the clay pot with plaster so it won't fall over! I stuffed it with poly and wool snippets. The trunk is a dowel wrapped in woodlike wire.
