While I chose to make standard green and brown trees it would be so much fun to make colorful, scrappy trees! These would be a fun project and great stash busters!

Size
The finished dimensions of the Christmas Trees are approximately 5″ / 12.5 cm tall including the trunk and 3.5″ / 9 cm at it’s widest.
The crochet garland length is variable depending on your desired size. I spaced my trees about 5″ apart. So if you make 10 trees that’s roughly 50″ of twine, plus what you need on either end.
Again the amount of twine you need to hang your garland will depend on where and how you hang it. I recommend measuring your space before cutting. About 12″ of length to start and 12″ to end the garland was adequate for our small mantle.

Christmas Tree Garland
Use the measuring tape to measure how long your garland needs to be. Remember to account for the center hanging down, and extra length to tie it depending on how you will hang it. Add extra 24" just in case, or better yet leave the length attached to the spool if you can.
Stack all trees so the they are facing the same way.
Thread end of twine through eye of yarn needle. 
Insert the yarn needle into the top stitch of the tree. I went from the back to the front. You can go the other way, but make sure to do it the same on all the trees.
Once you've slipped them all on, space them 5" apart. You can adjust this to your liking.
Leave 12" or more, before the first tree, and 12" or more after the last tree.
If you're able to check it in place before cutting off the twine from the spool I recommend you do that.
Cut it, and hang your garland!
Notes
You can shorten or lengthen the pattern for different sizes.
