When I stitch them, I was going to use some gold coloured thread. Some of the buttons have two or four holes and some have a hoop at the back so you do not see the thread from the front. The twist ties were just to hold some in place while I decide on the final placement of the baubles. It might not need any tinsel. I could crochet a length of the thread into a chain.

The lametta is a good idea, but the point was to use, or re-use the things already in my craft box room.

Is anyone struggling to envisage a knitted Christmas tree? ^_^ This hat might help.

My tree is taller, and narrower with more space between the garter stitch rows. The decorations will be buttons. I have used a much darker green with a silver thread running through it. Apart from that it gives you a good idea.

Now what about tinsel? Do you put tinsel on your tree? The larger of my knitted trees is about 12 inches tall, therefore about one sixth scale. So if tinsel is about 1.5 inches, then my knitted tinsel needs to be about ….. :scratch:0.25 inches. The twinkly wool that looks best, imo, is 0.5 inches. What does the panel think about the relativity of size of tinsel to knitted trees?

I could crochet a length of the thread into a chain.
I like that idea.
