Icing (with white yarn)

- Do this for all the layers.
Assembly
- Use craft glue to secure the layers together. Apply a small amount of glue at the peak of the bottom layer and gently press the top layer onto it. If you prefer a sturdier finish, you can also sew the layers together instead of using glue.
- Once your tree is assembled, attach the bottom layer to a wooden stand using craft glue. This will give your crochet Christmas tree a neat, stable base and complete the look beautifully.
