Steps
Draw a simple tree shape on card: a triangle about 8 cm tall with a stepped or zigzag edge. Cut it out to use as your template.
Pin the template to green felt and cut two identical tree shapes. Also cut a small 1 cm by 2 cm rectangle from brown felt for the trunk.
Lay the two green trees together, matching the edges. Glue or sew around the outline, leaving a 2 cm gap open at the bottom edge.
Push small pinches of polyester filling through the gap until the tree feels lightly padded. Do not overstuff it or the seams will strain.
Glue or stitch the gap closed, then glue the brown trunk piece to the bottom of the tree.
Fold a 10 cm piece of ribbon into a loop, add a dot of glue to the ends and press it onto the back of the tree at the top point.
Run thin lines of glue along the branches and sprinkle glitter over them. Shake off the excess onto scrap paper.
Glue a small star bead or a felt star to the top of the tree and let everything dry flat for about an hour.
Tips and common mistakes
Craft felt between 1 and 2 mm thick holds its shape best and is easy to cut and sew.
Cut both tree halves at the same time by stacking the felt, so the front and back match exactly.
Use small, close stitches if you sew, or the filling will show through the gaps.
Scissors and needles are sharp, so cut away from your fingers and keep the tree small enough to control.
Questions
Can I sew the tree instead of gluing it?
Yes. A simple running stitch or blanket stitch around the edge works well and looks neater than glue. Leave the same gap at the bottom for stuffing.
How much felt do I need for one tree?
One 10 cm by 10 cm square of green felt is enough for a small tree, plus a scrap of brown for the trunk. A single craft sheet makes several trees.
Can children make this?
Older children can cut the felt and glue the pieces with supervision. Younger children can add the glitter and press on the star while an adult handles the scissors and needle.
