Making Stuffed Fabric Christmas Trees
Supplies
- 5 different coordinating fabrics
- 5 dowel rods in varying sizes
- Burlap or similar fabric
- Fiberfill
- Ground walnut shells or sand
- Twine

Christmas Tree Templates
Click on the templates below and print them out to make the trees. There are four sizes. I made five trees using the 8.5 inch narrow template twice.
- 8.5 inch tree
- 8.5 inch narrow tree - I made two of these
- 7 inch tree
- 6 inch tree

Print out the template and cut out the tree shape.

Trace around the tree onto two pieces of fabric with wrong sides together using a tracing pen or light pencil.

Sew on the traced lines leaving two inches at the bottom open. Then cut out the tree about 1/4 inch from the stitches. You could also cut out the tree and then sew a 1/4 inch seam from the edge leaving space open at the bottom center.

Stuff the tree with fiberfill or other stuffing material.

Decide how tall you want your tree and cut the dowel rod to fit. Paint or stain one end that will show. The other end will be inside the tree.

Push the rod into the center of the tree and hot glue the opening around the dowel.

Use a 6 inch round of burlap to create a sack. Sew basting (loose) stitches all around about 1/2 inch from the edge.

Pull on the threads to gather the burlap and tie together. Fill the sack with ground walnut shells, sand or other similar material.

Place the tree into the sack and hot glue the top of the burlap to the dowel rod. The ground walnut shells or sand will anchor and hold the dowel rod in place. For an added touch you can then tie a piece of twine around the top.

Display your trees on a table, mantel, or anywhere that you want to add a bit of whimsy and cuteness.

Notes
Get creative and use different materials that you already have around the house for the fillers and dowels. Instead of ground walnut shells, you can use sand, salt, small beans, etc.. You could use branches from outside for the dowel rods and you could you any kind of fabric for the sack.
