These trees are like patchwork quilts standing tall, stitched together with memories and colors.

Layer by layer, you wrap your fabric strips until the cone transforms into a textured forest of patterns.

Plus, the rough edges, the mismatched prints, even the frayed threads become part of the design, making every tree as unique as a snowflake.

Add a simple wooden star on top, and suddenly your scrap pile has bloomed into a cheerful trio of holiday magic.

Materials Needed

• Foam or cardboard cones (small, medium, and large for variety)
• Fabric scraps (cut into strips, approx. 1-2 inches wide)
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Scissors
• Wooden or cardboard stars (painted yellow or gold)
• Optional: twine or ribbon for extra detail

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Gather all your fabric scraps and cut them into strips of roughly equal width. Don’t worry if edges are frayed, that adds character.

Step 2: Start at the bottom of the cone, gluing your first strip in place and wrapping it tightly around.

Continue layering upwards, overlapping slightly as you go.

Step 3: Mix and match patterns, textures, and colors to create depth and variety.

If a strip is too short, you can glue another piece where it ends.

Step 4: Once the cone is fully covered, glue a star at the top to complete your tree.

Step 5: Arrange your finished trees as a set for a playful forest display on your table or mantel.

Tips:

If you want a neater look, fold the fabric edges under before gluing. Or embrace the raw, frayed style for a more rustic and cozy Christmas vibe.
