I have an antique
farm table in my living room and I like to do a holiday display on it, I like
to do snowmen and trees. You can make a great fabric tree that is so easy and
looks so great. You can also make the pattern in a minute and make them in all
different sizes. 3 different sizes look great together with 2 snowmen and some
greens. Here is how to make the trees.
Step 2 – After you have sewn 3 trees turn to the right side
and press your tree making sure you
press the opening so the edges are turned
under.
Step 3 – Stack all 3 fabric triangles on top of each other so
they all are lined up. Now you have a stack of the 3 triangles, you will need
to sew a straight line down the center of the three so they are now stitched
together. Now you have a tree with 6
sections.
Step 5 – This is the fun part. You get to decorate your tree
as you want. I added a rusty star, some rusty wire and safety pins. My living room is prim so I made my tree to
match. Making these trees in a shabby
chic fabric looks really great. Do you have a child at college? How about making
a tree to send them in their school colors. Do you have a garden room? One of
these in a flower fabric and then just glue the bottom of the tree to the top
rim of a vintage flower pot. You can do
so much with them and they do make great gifts. I have found people truly love
gifts made from the heart.
As always if you have any questions please give me a shout
