Description

This pattern includes 27 pages with detailed instructions and pictures to make the snowman, Christmas tree, presents, mountains, and base. Each piece of the diorama is crocheted separately and then sewn to the base to make this adorable centerpiece for your Christmas decorations. The base is made from a wooden plaque (readily available at craft stores) and Styrofoam, and then covered in a crocheted yarn ‘sleeve’, and I include lots of pictures and details on how to do that (it’s really quite simple).

Finished Dimensions

The snowman/mountains/tree are approx. 6” tall at the highest point. The base size depends on the size of plaque you buy. Mine was 7” x 10” and approx. 2” high with the Styrofoam and yarn sleeve added.
