Christmas tree tutorial

Hi everyone!
How's your miniaturing going?)
I must say I'm a little bit dissapointed with ebay. I mean, I found there new owners for my roomboxes, but I didn't know the final value fee is 10%. That is a really huge fee, if you ask me.
On our Russian site that does the same thing that Etsy does - there's no individual fee at all. You just pay $2 once a month and sell whatever you want. I must say, I am shocked at this 10%..

But off with it. Today I wanted to start a small series of posts that will show you, how I do my tiny things. Perhaps someone will find it usefull. I am sorry for the quality of photos - I take them always under artificial light, so they doesn't really give true colors.

Anyway. This is how I do my chrismas trees:

 Step 1. harden the thread with PVA glue (white glue) It would be our stem.

 Step 2. glue it inside the bead on the toothpick.

 Step 3. Wrap the thread with glue around the bead - that would be our basket. Leave it to dry.

 Step 4. Tap it into white flock to make artificial snow. Or just paint the top white or brown :)

Step 5. Gently pull off the toothpick (I removed it, than placed it back just a bit, so that I could hold the tree.) Place the thread-stem inside the basket. Cut the moss to tiny pieces.

 Step 6. Glue the moss to the stem so it would look like a Xmas tree.

 I prefer to put it to place and only then -  add more brunches. This way you can glue them not only to stem, but to the walls.

And here's the finished look :)
And another example:

The roombox with yellow sofa you can find here on ebay
The next tuto would be about this particular yellow sofa :)
Hope it would be useful for anybody, happy crafting!
