An idea a day... #4

A FELT TREE

This was a 'quickie' that I made yesterday afternoon.

It's not perfect... I can see mistakes in the photo that don't seem to show up on the shelf.

But... it was fun to make.

This is what I did... you could do ANYTHING with the basic idea.

1. Cut 2 triangles or tree shapes from felt.

2. I sewed on scraps of green print ribbon... diagonally.

3. I sewed a variety of beads 'on and between' ribbon pieces.

4. Using a button hole stitch and embroidery thread, I stitched along the long sides.

5. Put a dowel into a wooden wheel and painted them... black.

6. I put the dowel into the tree until it hit the peak and stuffed the tree around the dowel.

7. Added a ribbon, tied to represent a star, to the tree top.

DONE!!!

I think it would look best in a group of 3 different heights, colors, and styles.

I'll have to get sewing today!

I flip flopped my scrapbook room with my sewing room. It was a lot of work but I love having the sewing machine table in front of this window... especially on a snowy day like yesterday.

A thought for the day...

Love you all!
