FINISHING
Sew in ends of all discs. Using 40cm of
C7, anchor end in centre of one of the size
8 discs. Pass thread through the centres
of each disc in decreasing sizes until all
are loosely spaced on the thread. Pass
thread slightly off-centre of size 1 disc,
back through the centres of all discs to the
bottom. Tighten thread so discs are gently
stacked, but not so tightly as to squash the
tree too short. Fasten off and sew in ends.
