An extremely beautiful work is a tiny Christmas tree made from felt fabric too. With this cute little tree, your loved one can put it on the table to decorate the room, hang it to decorate the Christmas tree or do anything you like on Christmas Eve.

 Material:

– Blue and brown felt fabric

– Multi-colored buttons

– Cotton

– Needle

Making:

• Step 1: Draw a picture of a pine tree on a piece of cardboard, then cut it out with scissors
• Step 2: Use the sample card that has been cut as a template to cut the green felt fabric into the shape of a pine tree. Each pine tree needs to cut 2 pieces of fabric.
• Step 3: Choose a few places on the pine tree to attach decorative buttons on top
• Step 4: Cut a piece of brown fabric into a small rectangle to make a tree trunk

 

• Step 5: Put two pieces of blue felt fabric together, then sew them together (remember to use blue thread too). If the pine tree you make is for standing, put a small stick inside to make the trunk. Before stitching the pine tree is almost done, you can stuff a little cotton inside the pine tree to make it swell a little, it will look much better.
