            I think you have gone a bit overboard with the Glass Baubles, you could tone it down a bit

                I have never had a real one in my house. We always have a 10ft one at the parents but this year my mate bought me one and this is it

                The baubles are buttons lol

                Urs is a giant in comparison lol

                Sadly none of the lights i use to use in my model making at uni work anymore so its not lit

                    Thank you @HarryS

                    Sadly i cant use ebay because i cant use paypal due to history of people trying to use my card fraudently it is now blocked on Paypal for the second time and i cant be bothered to get it unblocked again to go through the same thing again.

                    But to put lights on it i would have to undecorate it and i darn't touch it now it may not look the same after. The tinsel was difficult to get on lol

                      @Dips - have a look at these - micro LED's on a tiny wire which are almost 'to scale' to suit your tree :)

                        They are the ones i use to use in my uni models. I love lights4fun been using them for years. The standard lilacs by my front door have their outdoor battery fairy lights on them

                          Not seen these Micro LEDs before. Very pretty, but they look delicate . If you lose one light is the chain broken ? Seem to be wired in series not parallel.

                          Pretty sure they are in parallel @HarryS - they are set between two solid core wires, all lacquered for a bit of protection.
