With some simple materials you can mass produce these adorable felt Christmas tree ornaments. You can even get the kids involved and have them add the sequins.
Made by: Grace Tolman
Time: Approximately 45 minutes, including paint drying time.
Level: Beginner
Size: 7” x 4”
Here's what you need:
- Advanced Strength Glue Dots®
- Glue Dots® Mini Dots™
- Green felt
- Sequins
- Yarn
- Cardboard
- Paint- Terracotta, Americana, DecoArt
- Hole punch- We R Memory Keepers
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Pinking shears- Fiskars
- Scissors
Here's what you do:
Create a simple tree shape on the cardboard using a ruler and pencil. Make as many as you need and cut the shapes.
Paint the “trunk” of the tree with brown paint. Do this on both sides and set aside to dry.
Once the paint is dried, cover the tree part with felt using Advanced Strength Glue Dots. I placed mine on the felt and then folded it over.
Cut off the excess felt using some pinking shears.
Punch a hole on the top of the trees using a hole punch and thread through yarn to hang.
Add sequins to both sides of the tree to mimic ornaments using some Mini Dots.

I’m a mom to a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. Therefore my life is usually filled with learning, new discovery, bribery and driving to and from all of our activities. I have a loving and very supportive husband of 11 years. When the kids have gone to bed at night, my time is spent crafting while catching up on my favorite shows and movies. I also enjoy reading, window shopping, knitting and perusing blogs for inspirations. Three years ago we moved to Colorado from California and we are enjoying our new environment. I feel very inspired with my new home, my new scrapbook space and the mountain views. Although I’ve been doing some type of scrapbooking since grade school, I only started to scrapbook seriously after my son was born. When he was born I knew I would be staying at home with him but coming from a fast paced sales job I was afraid I would ran out of things to do during the day. Little did I know that with newborns you won’t have any time to do anything else. Anyways, after going through a basic scrapbooking class I was hooked and haven’t stopped scrapping since.
