How to make a simply Christmas tree ornament from fabric. This is an easy tutorial and the pattern is versatile. You can adjust it at the size you want. If you use Christmas theme fabric, with red, green and white colors or with Christmas pattern, with stars, tree, elves, or presents or something else, your ornaments will be perfect for your Christmas tree or Christmas decorations.
Then place your pattern, pin it to the fabric and cut the shape.
Then follow the steps above for making a new tree.
Materials: fabric, brown felt for the trunk, ribbon for hanging (I used green thread and I crocheted a chain), poly filling, sewing machine, thread and needle, scissors.
For the ribbon for hanging I crocheted a 30 cm chain from green thread because the ribbon that I had was too thick.
Draw a pattern, a triangle, an isosceles triangle with the two sides of equal length of 17 cm and the base of 13 cm. But, like I said, the pattern is versatile, you can make a bigger or a smaller pattern. Cut the fabric - 2 parts for every tree. Cut a small rectangle for the trunk from the brown felt ( 2,5 x 5 cm°).
Place the fabric face by face. Place the ribbon on the top. The ribbon must go inside, and the end has to remain outside. Same for the trunk: place the trunk on the bottom, in the middle, but a small part will remain outside the fabric.
Sew along the triangle. Start at the bottom, at the trunk, go around. Be careful on the top. When you are again at the bottom, sew the corner, but leave a small opening. Trim just a bit the corners. Turn your tree, stuff with poly filling. Sew the bottom.
Fill in and sew the bottom with an invisible stitch.
If you want to make the tree from scraps, from small pieces of fabric, first sew the pieces all together.
Then place your pattern, pin it to the fabric and cut the shape.
Then follow the steps above for making a new tree.
Happy sewing!
