Abstract: A needle threader device includes: a loop support base; a threading loop connected to the loop support base; a needle holder base; a needle cradle located on the needle holder base; a loop passage guide located on the needle holder base and intersecting the needle cradle at a predetermined angle, and being biased toward one end of the needle cradle; and, a thread insertion hole located on the needle holder base, adjacent to and connected to the loop passage guide. The loop support base and the needle holder base and rotatably connected so that the threading loop may be inserted into the guide and extended into the thread insertion hole. A user may insert a needle into the needle cradle with the needle eye located at the intersection of the needle cradle and the loop passage guide, then move the loop support base toward the needle holder base so as to insert the threading loop into the loop passage guide, through the eye of the needle and into the thread insertion hole.

Abstract: A decorative wall hanging is made up of a substantially flat pliable matrix comprised of intertwined cords, such as a macrame or knitted matrix. The pliable matrix defines a pattern of regularly spaced openings, with each opening defined by adjacent ones of the cords. The matrix has a front side and a back side, and defines an outline of a decorative shape. The wall hanging may include a plurality of miniature lights interconnected by a wire, with each of the miniature lights inserted through one of the openings so as to be visible from the front side of the matrix with the wire running along the back side of the matrix. The wall hanging may also include a rigid bar removably attached to the back side of the matrix, to maintain the wall hanging in the desired shape. In an embodiment of the invention, the decorative effect of the wall hanging is that of a lighted Christmas tree.
