Project Day: Fabric Christmas Tree

 

Create a wonderful Fabric Christmas Tree.

What you need:

• A selection of Christmas themed fabric. We used Metro Fresh Markets Tomarto's on Chartreuse $18.99/m , Chevron Zig Zaz Red $21.99/m, Stripe Thin Chartreuse and White Ticking $21.99/m, Suzani in Red Indoor/Outdoor $27.99/m, Girls World Vibe Carrie Grass by Jennifer Paganelli $19.99/m.
• Red Ric Rac 15mm wide.
• A canvas, or backing.
• Glue gun and scissors.

Cut your fabric into small rectangles approx 6cm x 4cm (size may depend on the size of your canvas).

Start placing your fabric in curved lines. Start from the bottom, working your way to the top until you have the shape of a tree. When you are happy with the placement, glue each piece down with the hot glue gun.

We used a piece of brown fabric for the trunk and cut out a floral motif for the top of our tree.

Frame your tree by gluing the Ric Rac around the edge.

Have a great weekend.
