CHRISTMAS TREES

Got lots of leftover batting? How about 2½” Christmas fabric strips? Make wonderful trees as gifts or add to your own holiday decorations.
Easy to make triangular trees can be decorated with buttons, beads, Swarovski crystals, bows or tiny little fairy lights

Materials

FABRIC Hoffman CA Fabrics’ Jingle Pops™ are wonderful for this project.
BATTING Use light to medium weight batting. Try Bosal’s Katahdin batting pre-cut in rolls 2½” x 25 yards (enough for 20 strips of fabric). If using leftover batting, select leftovers that are similar in weight. Cut strips 2 ½” wide.

To make both large and small trees
Body Fabric: 1 yard or 13 strips 2 ½” x 42/44”
Binding Fabric ½ yard or 6 strips 2 ½” x 42/44”
Batting 13 strips 2½” x 45” or about 1 yard of 45” wide batting

MATCHING COTTON OR POLYESTER THREAD
Use a 50 weight thread like Superior “So Fine” (a fine but strong polyester thread - use a polyester thread if you are going to decorate the trees with lights) This project uses a lot of thread. Before beginning, prefill 2 bobbins. Also, you may need heavy cotton thread to sew the sides (use 12 weight Aurifil cotton, pen cotton or upholstery thread).

EMBELLISHMENTS
Holiday buttons, beads, or holiday colored studded earrings.
Try fairy lights (also know as ultra thin LED wire lights or light strings) which are lights embedded in wire. Find these online (Google “Fairy Lights”) or in craft stores. Or look for “Moon Lights” by Dance. Use at least 30 lights on the small and 60 lights on the large tree (or more for a brighter tree!!).

Other Tools: Sewing Machine with a good zigzag stitch, machine needles Microtex 90/14 and Jean’s 110/18.
Gridded template plastic 12” x 18’.
Scissors (both large and small), rotary mat, acrylic rulers, 60mm rotary cutter, small foam core board or design wall, chalk.
