Sewing Pattern Christmas Tree

I must tell you that I am totally in love with this Sewing Pattern Christmas Tree! It is so quick and simple to make, yet the finished product is absolutely adorable! It makes the perfect addition to your shabby chic Christmas decor.

Supplies needed:

  • old sewing pattern (I found a stash at a local thrift store for .25 cents each!)
  • scissors
  • styrofoam cone (or create a cone shape out of poster board)
  • Styro Glue or hot glue gun (I recommend a low-temp glue gun so as not to melt the stryofoam cone)
  • chopstick (or back of pen) if using hot glue as I did

Start by cutting 1.5 to 2 inch squares out the sewing pattern tissue. I didn’t count how many I cut out, but you’ll need lots!

Press the end of your chopstick (or pen) into a sewing pattern square, wrapping it around the end.

Apply a bit of glue to the base of the cone, then press the square into the glue with the chopstick.

Continue this process until the stryrofoam cone is completely covered.

And, just like that, you have a beautiful, inexpensive Christmas Tree to adorn your mantle!
