- Use a plush yarn like Parfait Chunky to make a larger version of this free Christmas tree crochet pattern!
- Decorate your Christmas tree with tiny pom poms, buttons, or beads instead of embroidered details.

- Attach a tree on one end of a long chain, and another holiday ornament to the other side of the chain, for a cute car charm!
