3 trees arranged by my eldest
I made trees, the soft fabric stuffed ones. This idea has been floating around the internet for several years and I've seen them made round, with 3 sides with more sides, this is my take on it. I used a small left over piece of fabric which turned out to be a pain to use because of the weave and the semi elesticity. if you have plain cotton or linnen that would work great as would felt and fleece
Picture
Cut your pieces, 4 triangles and a square. Make sure to add seam allowance as the file with the pattern doesn't have any seam allowance.

I embroidered the fabric with some simple snowflakes in the same colour thread as the fabric which really added a nice dimension to the whole.
Picture
sew it together, long side against long side and the bottoms against the square.

Stuff it sew it shut and you're done! here you can also enjoy the biew of my untidy desk with multiple colours of floss (the boys where all embroidering a green tree on a panel of cotton) my phone, a padlock, a crochet hook (to aid the stuffing) and sealing wax because you know we all need that to hand all the time.
