- Hanging Loop: You can use a small length of the same green yarn to create a simple hanging loop at the top of the tree.

Materials
- Yarn: Green yarn, brown yarn (scraps are sufficient).

Step-by-Step Details
Create a simple and festive Crochet Christmas Tree Ornament with this quick pattern. This project focuses on building the tree shape using a series of decreasing chain-loop rows and attaching a small trunk. You then decorate the flat piece with tiny gems and a star, transforming it into a lovely ornament ready to hang or attach to a gift.
Tip
When decorating with tiny gems, use minimal hot glue. Apply only a small dab of glue to the tree and immediately press the gem onto it. Using too much glue can coat the gems and the surrounding yarn, creating visible strings and clumps that detract from the clean look of the ornament.
