Have you ever wanted a Christmas Tree Cake that you could hug? Just me? Anyway, I know last year I showed you how to make a Christmas Tree Cake throw pillow. However, while the one I made last year turned out fine, I didn't love it. I wanted one that looked more like the Christmas Tree Cake ornament I made, so I bought a large sheet of white felt and some green rhinestones I could use for sprinkles, and decided to give it a shot.
Two Christmas Tree Cakes :)
Materials:
*9"x12" sheet of red felt
*Green rectangular or square rhinestones
*White thread
*Red thread
*Green thread
*Sewing needle
*Pillow stuffing
Directions:
*Print out and assemble the Christmas Tree Cake template from this post.
*Cut out two copies of the large tree shape from white felt.
*Cut out the stripes from red felt.
*Sew the stripes onto one of the white Christmas tree shapes using red thread.
*Sew on green rhinestones with green thread to make the "sprinkles."
*Cut off a strip of white felt about 2" wide and 30" long.
*Sew this strip to one of the tree shapes. Basically, this strip is going to be what makes your pillow three-dimensional. Align it so that it sits along the edge of the tree shape perpendicular to the shape, so that the strip and the tree form a right angle. Sew it along the edge using a blanket stitch.
*Once you've sewn it all the way around the edge, snip off any excess part of the strip and sew the two ends together.
*Sew the other piece of the tree on by placing it so that it is perpendicular to the strip and using a blanket stitch. Leave an opening for stuffing.
*Stuff and sew closed.
