3. 🧵 Fabric & Textile Trees

Use scraps of fabric, felt, yarn, and ribbon to create soft, tactile mini trees full of color and pattern.

15. The Felt Tree with Buttons

Cut two identical Christmas tree shapes from thick green felt. Sew or glue them together around the edges, leaving the bottom open. Stuff lightly with fiberfill or scraps. Once stuffed, sew the bottom closed. Decorate by sewing or gluing on an assortment of colorful buttons as ornaments.

16. The Burlap & Lace Tree

Wrap a foam cone tightly with burlap ribbon, securing the end with hot glue. Then, take a delicate lace ribbon and wrap it over the burlap in a spiral pattern, gluing at intervals. The combination of rustic and delicate is beautifully festive.

17. The Scrap Fabric Patchwork Tree

Cut various fabric scraps into small squares, rectangles, and triangles. Using a foam cone, glue the fabric pieces on in a haphazard, overlapping patchwork style. Trim any excess fabric at the base. This is a fantastic way to use up leftover sewing materials.

18. The Pom-Pom Tree

Make or purchase small green yarn pom-poms. Cover a foam cone entirely by gluing the pom-poms close together. Add a few red, gold, or silver pom-poms sporadically as decorations. This tree is incredibly soft and whimsical.

19. The Knitted or Crocheted Tree

For crafters who knit or crochet, search for a simple pattern for a small 3D Christmas tree. These can be made in minutes and are perfect as ornaments or package toppers. Stuff them lightly to hold their shape.

20. The Ribbon Tree

Cut ribbons of various green shades and patterns into 2-3 inch lengths. Fold each piece into a loop and pin or hot glue the ends to a foam cone, starting from the bottom row. Layer rows upward, covering the cone with lush, loopy ""branches.""

21. The Tassel Tree

Create multiple small tassels using green embroidery floss or thin yarn. Attach them to a foam cone by their tops, starting at the base and working up, ensuring the tassel fringes point downward to create a fluffy, textured tree.
