Here’s a great way to use up old scraps of fabric! You can make a no-sew fabric Christmas tree!
This geometric tree is held together with lots of pins inserted into a foam cone. Your iron will get a work-out and will ensure crisp edges and uniform shapes.
This would make a great gift for a party hostess, a neighbor or your Mom.
This is a very easy project. After you’ve prepared your fabric, you could do this tree while you’re watching TV.
