DIY Christmas Tree Centerpiece

December 5, 2016 by Carolyn Wainscott

This simple to make fabric Christmas tree centerpiece can be made to match any decor from rustic to very formal. It all depends on the fabrics chosen. A whole forest of them could be put together in an afternoon.

A buffet would be very elegant with  these Christmas tree centerpieces sewn in white on white or how about silver lame? On the other hand, burlap or homespun trees on that sideboard in a country kitchen is just as eye catching with no ornamentation  necessary.

for each tree you will need:

1/2 yard fabric

stuffing materials

pattern:   pdf-christmas-tree-pattern

to make:

cut 4 trees on fold

christmas-tree-stuffed-cut-4-on-fold

unfold, with right sides facing: sew 2 together all around leaving space open on bottom for stuffing,

[repeat], creating 2 units

christmas-tree-stuffed-unfold

clip corners and curves

turn right side out

place one unit on top of second

christmas-tree-stuffed-2-sections-together

sew a seam down the center-this connects the 2 units and creates 4 sections

christmas-tree-stuffed-sew-down-center-with-2-units-together

stuff very, very tightly 4 sections through openings left at bottoms, stitch openings closed

Now, embellish to your heart’s desire with beads, lights & trims or leave as they are in the beautiful fabrics you chose.

Your tree is ready to display.

Here is a step by step video tutorial for making the fabric Christmas tree centerpiece that may help if you are working with a beginner:

Have a great crafting day

I am a 75 year old widow of 3 years after 55 years of marriage whose main focus in life has been my family and homemaking. I love designing, creating, and re-purposing. I was very involved with my children and their activities, then my grandchildren, and now with my great, grandchildren. My first love in crafting is in textiles, mainly quilting. The first quilt I designed was for my grandson over 30 years ago and that pattern will soon be available online. I am loving the internet world where I can market my designs, publish tutorials and talk with crafters all over the world from my own little corner of the world even though never having a lesson on the computer or internet networking I do have to call on my grandchildren at times for help. They still think I rode in on a dinosaur but that's ok, I'm having a great time. I have enjoyed a great deal being able to share my love of crafting on FaveCrafts and FaveQuilts.
