Felt Christmas Tree

Here are some instructions to make this cute felt Christmas Tree!

What you need:
Coloured felt
Felt scraps
Embroidery thread
Polyester stuffing
Cardboard


1. Cut the felt into a cone shape with two straight edges and one curved edge.  My tree has sides measuring 22cm.  Cut the felt scraps into small circles about 1cm in diameter.

2. Attach the felt dots onto the tree body using a small cross stitch.  Make sure you secure the threads on the wrong side of the felt.  Decorate your tree as much as you like!

3. Pin the two long sides together (inside out) and sew either by machine or hand.  Turn the tree the right way out.

4. Cut a felt circle and two cardboard circles for the base of the tree.  An easy way to do this is to fill the tree with stuffing, and then find a cup that matches the size of the base of the tree.  Trace around the cup to get the right size circle.  Whip stitch the base to the tree, inserting the cardboard to create a firm base for the tree to stand on (see picture).

5. Finish sewing up the base and you're done!
