Quick Make: Christmas Tree Decoration

Use up your fabric scraps to craft speedy Christmas tree ornaments with our easy-to-follow video tutorial.

About the project

It's Christmas! We love a speedy make, especially if it's as multipurpose as this one. Great for hanging on the tree, turning into a garland or festive bunting, and they make the perfect gift or stocking filler too. You could even pop them in a mini plant pot for a super sweet decoration. For this design you can use any fabrics, it doesn't just have to be festive. We made ours in a classic green and a navy and metallic design too. But hunt around your craft room for fabric scraps as this makes for a perfect stashbuster. Just remember that all of your fabric circles need to be twice the size of your foam circles to create a successful tree!

What skill level is this sewing pattern?

This is a beginner-friendly “quick make,” and shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes to stitch!

Debbie's Top Tips

  1. You will be creating five circles of fabric – you can use a circle template or if you don't have one, instead use the inside of a ribbon reel or an egg cup.
  2. If you can, try to push your raw edges inside each fabric circle to create a neat finish.
  3. If you're not using fusible foam, then use spray adhesive to add your foam to your fabric.
  4. Add small sequins and beads to decorate the trees, simply thread them onto your needle or add them with a hot glue gun.
  5. What do I make next?

    There are now plenty of other Christmas projects choose from. If you're looking for more speedy makes try our fabric baubles – they'll pair perfectly with your new Christmas trees! These cutlery holders are perfect for adding an extra touch that will wow your guests. We've even got a Christmas stocking pattern to try that you can bring out year after year! These all make excellent gifts too and can be made at the last minute!
