No sew Fabric Christmas tree:  Do it yourself craft.


Tools needed:  Fabric scissors, and a thimble.  

Supplies that you need:
3 or more 1/4 yard Christmas pattern fabrics
to make fabric squares,
some strait pins,
a foam cone and
cotton balls.
small paper doily 4 1/2 in diameter.
yellow ribbon 1/4 inch thick to make bow on top.
You may also want small bead strand for decoration.


Take fabric and make 2.5 inch squares out of it.  You need some mostly red squares, some mostly green squares and some mostly white or cream color,  I also have some blue squares.

Assemble all your supplies.






 Set aside the doily and yellow ribbon.  I also like a  strait pin with a yellow ball on top.





The trick to this tree is to wrap your cotton ball in a square, and then pin to the cone working from the bottom to the top.  Change fabric color as you work around, trying not to get to much of the same color in one spot.  If you have a small string of beads you weave them in between the squares of fabric.


As you get to the top of tree use smaller pieces of cotton.  Wrap the cotton completely and pin to top row.

  At the top we make a full yellow bow to cover the foam cone.  ad the doily with some pins to the bottom of tree to finish it.




I use this craft as  hostess gifts for parties.  Also a cute teacher gift.
