Christmas in November - Scrap Fabric Tree Ornaments

As always, I'm sharing both a video tutorial and a written tutorial below.

I'll also have a share thread on my Facebook page to share our finished ornaments.

Here is the supply list:

Supplies Needed:

Scrap fabric (at least two coordinating fabrics)
Cinnamon sticks (or twigs)
Buttons
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Scissors
Something to make a hanger with (I used jute twine)

As you can see, the fabric you choose doesn't even have to have a Christmas theme as long as it has the colors you want to use because you won't be able to really see the pattern on the finished trees.

Here is the video tutorial:

Step One - Prepare the fabric and cinnamon sticks

You can use as many fabrics as you'd like on each tree or just one fabric. I prefer at least two coordinating fabrics on each tree.

Make a little snip about 1" in from the edge of the fabric and then tear a strip. Depending on the width of your fabric, tear additional strips to use. You'll need about eight strips about 8" - 10" long each.

Your cinnamon sticks should be about 5" long, if they aren't you should be able to break an end off. Cinnamon sticks that have the seam on one side and aren't twisted work best.

NOTE: You can use twigs from the yard if you don't have cinnamon sticks.
