Christmas Decor in Progress

More progress on a new Christmas Decoration pattern – six balls are ready. There will be 10 Christmas balls in one chart. A bead with a thread tassel decorates all the balls at the bottom. The size of the bead and the tassel is as you wish. The diameter of one ball is 48 cross stitches.
