I found this little aspen tree that hubby had run over and broke off, so I cut it into pieces, approximately 1".
Then I laid out a swatch of fabric and folded it in half to get the pattern size. I even laid the "trunk" out just to make sure it was the right size and scale...(see where I am going with this?)
Trace.....and sew.
If you have the fold on the bottom, you will have to cut a small hole to turn it.
Next I turned, stuffed and glued on the trunk. I also glued some little rusty stars to the top.
I took my "trees" outside and sprayed them with a sealer and while still wet, I dusted lightly with this cinnamon scented glitter.
Though I will probably display them in a basket, I did add some embroidery floss behind the stars so they can also be hung. I think they are adorable! Just another way to use up those scraps!
