I was going to make some trees to fit in baby jars, but on closer inspection decided that baby jars really are tiny. Sewing tiny things is not a sewing machine kind of thing. (which is why I think paying grown-up prices for children's clothing is completely fair. Imagine how tricky some of that sewing is on a miniature scale). Umm...
Ok.
This is the tutorial I followed:
The Small Object Archive.
I decided not to use a glue gun as I was having a misguided 'no toxic chemicals' moment. Glue gun would work great though. I, however, used a needle and thimble to sew through the tips of all the tree stack a few times, then knotted to fix.
However I wanted to add a bit of bling, and also have them hanging on the tree. So this is what I did:
- I took some bead strands and sewed at a few points around the tree.
- I then sewed through the middle of each stack with some gold thread and did not pull thread tight, but left a big loop which I then knotted together at the tip of the tree both on the inside and outside.
