HOW TO MAKE RUSTIC FELT CHRISTMAS TREES

I folded the template in half then folded my felt in half and started cutting out trees. Many, many trees!

After all my trees were cut my son and I went hiking in the woods for the perfect log and sticks. Using my chop saw, I cut the wood down to make the tree stands then got started gluing.

I simply folded each piece of felt in half, applied hot glue to the fold then added the felt to the stick. Make sure the stick is about a half inch from the top of each felt tree top. I repeated these steps over (and over and over......) until my tree was full.





After I had all the felt trees glued I gave each one a little trim to shape them up then glued the stick onto the wood base. I used hot glue, but I think wood glue would actually hold up much better. I may even end up using a drill bit to drill a small hole in the base, allowing the stick to slip down into the base. Regardless, I'm loving how they turned out!





Update: Due to popular demand, I created a video. Enjoy!













I hope you enjoyed these rustic felt Christmas trees as much as I enjoyed making them!
