HAPPY DECEMBER!!! Thanksgiving meals have been eaten, calories consumed and regular schedules resumed. Now it’s officially Christmastime! As I’ve gotten older I’ve really enjoyed hanging Holidecor more and more. I love transitioning my space into a Happy Holiday place! okay…I’ll stop rhyming. I made my first batch of trees a few years ago, have received many compliments and inquiries, and just wanted to grow my forest. It’s also been one of my favorite Holidecor DIYs ever, so I invited some lovely ladies over for cider, cookies and crafts! To celebrate the season, here’s a fun and easy felt tree DIY Christmas Craft for yourself and/or students and kids old enough to use a hot glue gun (felt may not stay well with craft glue, but yarn tree can be done easily with school or craft glue for little kiddos!). Make one, make a lot or make new ones every year as a tradition!!!
Materials Needed:
- paper mache cones: larger is 10.64″x4″ and smaller is 7″x3″ from Amazon.
- ball of yarn
- 9″x 12″ sheet of felt (x2)
- scissors
- ruler or scale (seen here)
- pen or fabric pencil
- hot glue gun and coordinating glue sticks
- glitter balls (actually decorative filler) found mine at Michaels. Very similar here at Amazon.

Now place these fabulous little felt trees anywhere in your space… Lining the mantel, along the hearth, set on a side table or shelf, could be a Christmas dinner centerpiece, or cute cocktail table decor! I added pine cones, of course, and real fir trimmings from the Christmas tree. Hope you enjoyed this Holidecor How-To and will be creating your own felt tree christmas crafts to love living in your life this Holiday season!!!
Love ~ LAUREN
