Christmas Tree, Fir for Lighting in 3 Sizes - with video tutorial

Fir tree / Christmas tree in 3 sizes to illuminate with LED tea lights.
Crocheted with 2 colors in spiral rounds. Thanks to a little trick, neither color nor round transitions are visible. At the end, the trees are strengthened with sugar water, making them wonderfully stable.
