Today’s crochet tutorial is from “Clever Ways to Crochet Christmas Tree Bag Charms! Learn how to crochet a tiered no-sew Christmas tree keychain ornament with a miniature bell, beautiful white edging, and a unique layered design. That’s because we will be working flat rows of double crochet increases that create a textured semi-circle, which is edged with a decorative white (ch 1, slst) snowy border. You can crochet this 2-in-1 keychain in dark green or bright green as well.
The semi-circle is then folded in an overlapping zig-zag manner and hot-glued into a dimensional, tiered tree.
A small brown trunk is crocheted at the base, two yellow star pieces are crafted and glued to the top, and decorative snowflake charms, a bottom jingle bell, and a keychain ring are attached. Now, continue reading to learn more about this crochet star on the top Christmas tree applique and 2-in-1 keychain.
