Christmas season was busy, so...

Hello, everyone.

As the title says, Christmas season was busy. It's still busy, so crafty things were photographed then and are being posted now.

These were an idea from Pinterest.


I made a triangle template from an old file folder.

The stripey fabric was pieced from stash on hand, various greens and Christmas-y bits, some not rectangular, various widths for interest. Used spray glue to adhere the thin batting to the backing piece, then to adhere the pieced top to the batting. I think I quilted in the ditch at this point. Traced the template and sewed the outlines. Then cut apart. (Used the wavy blade on my rotary cutter.) Added ribbon loop at top, in white, and ribbon loop at bottom for trunk, in brown. Or black.

They're a good size for package tie-ons, or favors.

I kind of think if you could solve the cutting into an inside corner problem you could make really cute hearts on the same principle.

Maybe one could do it in reds and make diamond shape or lozenge shaped ornaments, too.
