Using felt sheets in beautiful, cool shades of blues and greens, we made a simple 3D Christmas tree pattern for assembling adorable holiday decor.
Pretty 3D Craft Christmas Tree
In my opion, Christmas crafting is the best sort of crafting. There is something about making crafts for the holidays that brings about a lot of joy. Anything from super easy mini pom-pom garland to glittering jar candy jars is all that much more fun to make for Christmas. Not to mention baking things like these chocolate-drizzled sugar cookies; which taste all that much sweeter around the holidays!
We have this 3D tree pattern available for sale in our Etsy shop along with loads of other fun felt craft patterns. So be sure to check out our other patterns as well for all year long felt crafting.

Gather all the supplies needed to make these 3D felt trees. Prepare the stump by drilling a hole in the center of the stump the same size as the wooden dowel.
Cutting
The pattern is available as a printable PDF pattern to be cut out by hand with a pair of scissors. Additionally, we also include an SVG file for use with a cutting machine.

Cut 6 pieces for each tree and cut as many as you like to make a little forest!
Assembling the 3D Christmas Trees:
Working one piece at a time, apply glue to the outer edge and press another piece on top. Continue until all 6 shapes are secured together and then insert the wooden dowel and stump.
