Looks cute...my son did something similar last year at a Christmas party except they used construction paper for the trees and tissue paper glued behind the holes instead of beads on the front.

What if you use two pieces of felt and punch holes in both and glue a piece of tissue paper between the felt, that way you can still see the light coming through it and don't have to deal with the little beads and worrying about the kids eating them.
