I have loved Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes ever since I was a child. They were a special treat my dad would buy for us at Christmas time, and they have become a Christmas tradition that I share with Brian. I thought it would be fun to try making a Christmas Tree Cake ornament to add to my tree. Check out the video below for a video tutorial, or keep reading for a written tutorial. If you love snack cakes, stay tuned because I have several snack cake themed Christmas projects in store for you.

DIY Christmas Tree Cake ornament video tutorial.
Materials:
*Red felt
*White felt
*Green seed beads
*Scissors
*White thread
*Red thread
*Green thread
*Metallic marker
*Stuffing
Directions:
*Print out a copy of the template given below:
*Trace two copies of the tree shape onto white felt. Trace one copy of each stripe onto red felt. Cut out the tree shapes and stripes.
*Sew the stripes onto one of the tree shapes using red thread, using the template as a guide. I used a blanket stitch for this step.
*Sew green seed beads on to look like the green sugar granules using green thread.
*Cut off a small segment of white felt, about 1/4" thick and 2" long. Fold the ends of this strip together to make a loop. Sew this loop to the back of the blank tree shape using white thread.
*Cut off two strips of white felt that are about 1/2" thick and 9" long. Sew the ends together to form one long strip of felt.
*Using a blanket stitch and white thread, sew the strip of felt to the striped tree shape. The strip of felt will likely be longer than you need it to be, so when you reach the place where you started, cut off the excess felt and then sew the two ends together.
*Sew the bottom tree to the strip of felt using a blanket stitch. Leave a small opening at the bottom.
*Add stuffing and sew closed.
