Doesn't it really annoy you when all of those lovely Christmas tree baubles are too heavy to actually hang on your tree. They are beautiful but they bend the branches.
Now is the time to get cracking with handmade Christmas decorations and this one is perfect. It is quick and easy and so light weight that it won't bend your Christmas tree branches.
Simply take:
Felt
Red Beads
Thread... I used red
Some stuffing.
Cardboard
What you need to do:
Cut out a template using the measurements on the sheet below:
Use this template to cut out your felt shapes. I drew around the shape and then cut out. It was far easier than trying to cut around the card.
To avoid wasting felt you can place one side of the tree against the cutting edge of the previous one.
put the two sides together and sew around three sides with a running stitch. Stuff the tree and sew the other side together. Now sew on the bow.
Finished. Think a garland!!
