After completing the 28 rows work the loops to hang the tapestry.

Ch 1, work sc in first 5 sts. Turn and work sc in each st. Repeat until the strip is long enough to wrap about the dowel. Cut yarn off. Skip next 5 sts and join yarn in the next st and repeat as previous. Skip the next 5 sts and make one more. Fold these strips behind and sew the edges forming loops to hang the tapestry. Insert the dowel through these loops. Weave in all the loose ends. 

Cut out strands of yarn measuring about 7 or 8 inches and make tassels on the lower edge using 3 strands for each tassel and attaching them in alternate stitches.

Decorate the tree with beads and buttons.
