Christmas Craft!

I found this super cute and easy Christmas Tree craft project on TheSmallObject.com via the awesome blog How About Orange. I decided to try it out and.... I LOVE the result! Here are the steps if you want to make your own!

First I made patterns. 4 semi circles at 10", 8", 6" and 4". The Small Object has a pattern you can print out- http://www.flickr.com/photos/thesmallobject/2065152899/


Then I used iron-on interfacing on the underside to give the fabric some weight and reduce fraying.


Next I used a zig-zag stitch all the way around each semi-circle.


Then with a glue gun- I glued each semi-circle into a cone, overlapping about 1" on the bottom.


Finally, I stacked the cones and secured each one with a dot of glue at the point.


Voila!
