Here are some cute, little, "tree"mendous decorations. You can use them to hang on the tree, or hang on handles or door knobs. You could even stitch them onto a long ribbon and make bunting or a garland. I made these a few years ago and have used them to decorate in different ways. This year I pinned them onto the back of a window topper curtain in the kitchen.
They are very simple to make out of some fabric, a bit of batting, some trim and ribbon. You cut three square - one 3 inch, one 2.5 inch and one 2 inch from the fabric. Vary the pattern on the fabric so each part of the tree has a different pattern, or cut them all from the same material. The choice is up to you.Fold each square to form a triangle.Cut a tirangle piece of quilt batting slightly smaller than each of the fabric triangles and pin it inside each triangle.Sew each triangle shape closed.Place the biggest triangle on the bottom add the second and overlap the base onto the point just a bit, and then the smallest triangle on the top.Glue coloured bead ribbon along each edge and a sequin star at the top.Make a loop out of gold ribbon and it is ready to hang. Are you making any decorations for the holidays?
