That is too cute. I would love to make a larger one for the wall. I have some macreme thread, just need instructions

Yes, this would look amazing as a larger wall hanging! I can work on a tutorial.

Have a question about this project?
What about using a plastic wrapped candy cane for hanging it on the tree instead of the wooden dowel. Would look very festive!
