and it has sparkles (Mica Flakes) on it just like the ornaments did from the 1940's and
1950's!!! Oh, and it's real easy to sew! |

How to Make a
Fabric Country Primative Christmas
Tree Ornament |
| small scraps
of green cotton fabric |
| ribbon for
handle (or use a metal ornament hook) |
| cinnamon
stick for tree trunk, rusty bell, snow |
| fiber fill
or stuffing |
|
|
|
 |
Gather some green homespun fabrics, a cinnamon stick, and a rusty
bell. Optional: spray adhesive,
and sparkles or Mica Flakes |
 |
Draw
yourself a tree ornament pattern. Mine is 5 1/2" tall by 4 1/2"
wide at the bottom. If you draw it on paper first you can keep this
pattern and use it over and over again!
Pin and cut out two of green trees from
homespun fabric.
Pin pretty sides together as shown in
the photo. Leave an opening at the bottom for turning. |
 |
Stitch
around the edge using the pressure foot as your guide. MAKE SURE
YOU LEAVE AN OPENING at the bottom so you can turn your tree ornament
pretty side out.
Clip your
corners. |
 |
Turn your
ornament pretty side out. Stitch a bell on the top. Stuff the
tree with fiberfill.
Put a little bit of hot glue or Elmer's
glue on the end of the cinnamon stick. Put the cinnamon stick
through the whole at the bottom of the tree. Hand stitch around
to help hold it in place. |
 |
Either hand sew thread or string to the back of your ornament, or use a Christmas hook.
(Optional) I
feel the sparkles make the craft. Using an all-purpose spay,
spray your ornament. Sprinkle some Mica flakes. |
|
|
Your
old-fashioned homespun Fabric Christmas tree ornament is
finished! |
