- Three small red buttons
- Black embroidery floss
- Needle
- Several balls of cotton
- Ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
Crafting Steps:
- Cut two triangular tree shapes from green felt, by doubling the felt
over so that both sides of the tree can be cut at once. Likewise cut
the the rectangular stump from brown felt that has been doubled over so that
both sides can be produced at once.
- Using black embroidery floss, hemstitch around three sides of the stump,
leaving the top open. Pull apart a cotton ball and put about half of
the cotton inside the felt stump.
- Sew the three red buttons to one side of the triangular tree shape.
- Hemstitch around the tree leaving a gap at the bottom to insert the
stump. Fill the tree with cotton through the hole in the bottom.
- Insert the stump just far enough into the bottom of the tree to
hemstitch the stump to the tree.
- Glue a loop of ribbon to the back of the tree near the top for hanging
the ornament. Additionally glue a bow for added decoration to the top
of the tree in the front.
