Ready for a quick and surprisingly fun Christmas craft? These felt Christmas trees are easy to make! Hang them in your tree or around the house, and enjoy your handmade holiday decor throughout the season.
For this DIY project, use a multipack of felt in green tones and choose four different shades. For this example, we’ve left out the olive green.

Using a guillotine cutter, cut squares from the felt: start with the darkest shade and make 2 x 2 inch (5 x 5 cm) squares, then the next lightest shade at 1.6 x 1.6 inch (4 x 4 cm), a lighter shade at 1.2 x 1.2 inch (3 x 3 cm), and finally, the lightest shade at 0.8 x 0.8 inch (2 x 2 cm). You’ll need eight squares of each colour for one Christmas tree.
3
Use a hole punch to make holes in the centre of each square.
4
Cut a piece of jute cord and make a loop at one end.
5
Thread the felt squares onto the twine, tying a small knot after every two squares to add a bit of volume.
6
Continue threading until all squares are on the twine. Slightly tilt each one to create a layered tree effect.

At the top, make a loop and a knot, trimming any excess twine. Your felt Christmas tree is now ready!
