You can almost smell pine and cinnamon while making this one.
The rhythmic motion of weaving the tree layer by layer feels like wrapping gifts beside the fire.
Soft green yarn builds the branches, fuzzy white adds the snow, and a golden star crowns it all. It’s a little story told through thread, a winter memory woven by hand.
Whether you craft it for yourself or a loved one, it’s a timeless piece that brings warmth long after the season ends.
Materials Needed
- Wooden loom or cardboard loom (about 8×10 inches)
- Yarn in green, white, yellow, brown, and accent colors
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Metal hooks or nails (if making your own loom)
- Comb or fork for tightening rows
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Prepare your loom by stringing the warp threads vertically, spaced evenly about ½ inch apart. Then secure both ends tightly.
Step 2: Start at the bottom with rows of brown yarn to form the trunk. You need to weave over and under across each string, packing the rows close together.
Step 3: Switch to green yarn for the tree. Begin with wider rows at the base and gradually narrow them as you move upward to create a triangular tree shape.
Step 4: Mix in textured white yarn to imitate snow on branches. Add small pops of yellow or gold for ornaments or garlands.
Step 5: Finish with a woven or stitched star at the top. Gently tighten and trim any loose yarn ends.
Tips:
You ought to use thick, chunky yarns for a cozier look or metallic thread for a sparkling holiday touch.
When done, mount your weaving in a frame or hang it directly from the loom for a rustic Christmas wall piece.
