The diagram for the tree base:
After you finish the base you have to make the edge and you do that with crocheting single crochet stitches all around except on the bottom left and right corner where you put 4 single crochet stitches in one and on top where you make a 2 single crochet stitches, a picot and another single crochet stitch. At the end you join the end with and invisible join.
As I said I made two and then I used my needle and sewed them together. That means that now they look the same on both sides.
You can embroider and bling up the tree before sewing the two parts together or after. I opted for the harder things and was sewing on the beds and sequins after the join.
Happy Crafting!
