Felt scrap Christmas tree

If you enjoy sewing, you probably have lots of fabric scraps at home, right? Here’s a great idea for you: make a tree using those scraps! It’s very simple—just cut out squares in different sizes, stack them, and connect them with thread.
Because thin fabric requires cutting many pieces, use thicker material like felt.
Once the pieces are ready, stack them from largest to smallest and run a needle with thread through the center.
Add decorative beads and secure them, and your tree is complete!
Paper plate Christmas tree

Here’s a craft idea for making a mini tree using a paper plate.
First, cut the paper plate in half and roll it into a cone to make the base.
Apply double-sided tape along the side and start wrapping yarn from the top.
Once you’ve wrapped it all the way to the bottom, the tree is complete, so have fun decorating it with stickers and small parts.
There are many types of yarn, so choose while imagining the kind of tree you want to make.
If you use thin yarn, be careful to avoid gaps as you wrap.
Marble Christmas Tree
Let’s make a marble tree using a wooden light sold in online shops as the base.
Prepare a wooden light, your favorite marbles, decorative parts, and a glue gun.
First, arrange the marbles in a circle to match the shape of the base and glue them down.
Next, place and glue another layer of marbles on top.
Once you have a certain height, add marbles inside as well to create the final tree shape.
Attach a decorative piece to the top to complete your marble tree.
Turn on the light and enjoy it in the dark.
A Christmas tree that becomes a lamp
It’s an idea you can use as a tree when it’s bright and as a lamp when it’s dark.
Draw a net for a square pyramid on construction paper, cut it out with scissors, and use a craft punch to make star or heart holes in the triangular faces.
Be sure to make a hole in the center of the square that will be the base so the light can pass through.
Once that’s done, glue the net together to form the square pyramid.
Decorate the top with a ribbon or a star to complete your tree! Place it over an LED lamp and enjoy.
If you wrap brown tape around the sides of the lamp’s base, it will look like a trunk and make the tree look even more realistic.
Fluffy fabric Christmas tree
Here’s an idea for a self-standing tree that’s easy to display anywhere! It takes a bit of time since you’ll be sewing fabric with a machine, but once you make it, you can use it year after year.
First, create a tree pattern by adding a 1 cm seam allowance to the finished size.
Using the pattern, cut out six fabric pieces, then sew them together in pairs with right sides facing.
Be sure to leave an opening for turning and a hole for stuffing.
Once sewn, turn the fabric right side out, then stack three pieces together and sew along the center.
Insert stuffing through the opening, stitch it closed, and finish by decorating the top with a ribbon.
