First, I gave the spool a coat of gesso. A crochet doily was placed over the tart tin. I then glued the spool to the tin and the tree to the top of the spool. Using various laces, trims, flowers and embellishments, I decorated from top to bottom. Lots of photos are here to see the details.

After everything was glued in place, I added some gesso and Glamour Dust to give it some extra sparkle. If you click on each photo, you can see the details better.
