Part 24: Allsorts Tiny Tree Shrunk

on tree

Since I have been talking about allsorts site I also liked the tiny button tree there. So I used her pattern and made a little modification and came up with a bell, sequin, tree for the yoyo advent calender.

sequins

Supplies:
  • felt
  • pattern from allsorts site
  • pearl cotton size 5 embroidery thread
  • bell
  • beads
  • sequins
  • thread
  • needles for embroidery thread and sewing thread
Order of event:
  1. Get pattern from allsorts; reduce it to 1/4 its original size and cut out felt.
  2. Sew on embellishments randomly.
  3. Sew up side of tree; turn right side out.
  4. Add bell to embroidery thread; tie 2 knots (see photo for placement of knots).
  5. String from inside of tree through the top of the tree; place two more knot (see photo).
  6. Cut excess thread; done.
Three more ornaments to go, then this is all done!
DO NOT USE THIS PATTERN TO MAKE THINGS TO SELL FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!!!!
