Instructions
Step 1: Cut the tree shape
Fold your piece of felt in half. Place the folded tree template on the fold in the felt. Trace the outline onto the felt using a gel pen.
Keeping the felt folded, cut out the tree shape.
Unfold the felt to reveal your Christmas tree shape.
Step 2: Add the candy cane
Fold the tree in half again, and cut 6 slits along the fold. Each slit should be just over 1/4 inch long. (When you unfold the tree, the slits should be a little less than 3/4" long total) Follow the printable template as a guide for where to place the slits.
Push the candy cane through each of the slits, so the felt holds the candy cane in place.
Step 3: Decorate the tree
Rip half the backing off a foam star sticker (leave the backing on the top half of the star). Then press the star onto the top of your felt Christmas tree shape.
Squeeze a small glob of tacky glue onto the tree.
Then press on your pom pom, rhinestone or button.
Keep gluing on the pom poms, etc until your tree is completely decorated.
Your felt and candy cane Christmas tree gift is complete! Give it to your friends, family or teachers, or hang it on the Christmas tree.
