DIY Felt Christmas Trees

Supplies for Felt Christmas Trees

These trees are super easy to make and would be a great project for kids as well. Just be cautious with hot glue and kids.

First, I created a template for the trees and you can download and print.

• Felt – approx. 1/2 yard per tree
• Gather Sticks from your yard or woods – You can use dowel rods if you prefer.
• Wooden base. Can be cut some fallen trees limbs or you can purchase bases at craft stores
• Cordless Drill
• Hot Glue Gun
• Christmas Tree Template
• Straight Pins

Prepare your Christmas Tree Bases

To begin your project, gather your wooden sticks and cut them approx. 15 inches long.

Then drill a hole, in your wooden base the same diameter as your stick.

Check to make sure the stick fits in the base.

You can create your own template or you are welcome to use the one that I created here. Just link to my blog post at the bottom of this post.

Begin cutting your trees from the felt by folding the template in half and pinning to a piece of folded felt.It takes approx. 10-12 trees for each felt tree, therefore cutting two at a time is a big time saver.

With 1/2 yard of felt, you can cut 2 trees from the yardage if you place them close together as you can see above.

Cut the bottom from one tree and then place the two folded pieces of felt together so that you can cut two at the same time.

This allows you to save felt, as well as time cutting the trees.

Make sure the stick is secure in the base and begin to fold the felt trees in half. Use straight pins to hold them in place.

Apply a bead of hot glue straight down the stick, approximately the length of the felt trees.

Then attach the tree at the crease and allow a small amount of the tree peak to be above the stick.

Make sure the tree is attached and then begin adding more trees next to the one you just secured.

Continue adding the folded felt trees until the stick is 100% covered.

Once the tree is complete, use a drop of glue to attach the tops of the trees together above the stick.

In addition, I added a small felt star to the top of each tree. You can also add felt berries or ornaments to style the trees. This would be a fun way to include the smaller kids in the project. Be cautious with the hot glue and kids.

Here are the 3 different colored trees grouped together. I love the rustic feel of these fun trees.
