Read through all the instructions first before starting this craft.Make sure you have all required items on hand.
Step 1
Cut out your paper pattern pieces with a paper scissors.
Step 2
Pin your paper pattern pieces each onto a piece of felt that is the correct colour for your piece.
Step 3
Cut out your pieces, but be careful if you're using a fabric scissors not to cut into the paper pattern! Cutting paper with fabric scissors can make them blunt!!!
Step 4
Cut a piece of ribbon about 7cm long and fold it in half.
Step 5
Put glue on your pot and tree. The best way to use fabric glue is to put a layer of it onto the felt making sure you have a lump, if it is too thin and absorbs into the felt it does not stick very well. Place your ribbon at the top of the tree and put your ice-cream stick down on the glue and trap the ribbon between the felt and the stick with a drop of glue there too. Leave to dry for at least 2 hours.
Step 6
Turn your tree over and stick embelishments all over it with. Stick beads and buttons on with jewel glue and use dazzle glue to draw patterns.
