-Arrange triangles on brown cardstock as shown to create tree and trunk. Glue into place.

-Take the excess brown card stock at the top and fold it over to create loop.

-Thread the floss or string through the loop and tie. Place the star atop the tree. Use the string to hang the ornament on your tree.

Now, here's a bonus idea. I took the ornament and used it as an embellishment on a 3" x 3" tag. Perfect to accompany a gift. You just peel the tree off and use it as an ornament on your tree. The string is rolled up behind the tree.
