Fabric Tree Christmas Tag

Hi, Judy here today! It’s coming down to crunch time for the holidays but still time to make a few Fabric Tree Christmas tags. These tags feature fabric trees made with 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White cut into triangles and covered with fabric. It only takes a small piece of holiday fabric and adds a unique look and texture. (The same technique can be used with patterned paper is place of the fabric.)

Cut a piece of 3D Foam Creative Sheets Medium White across the width (5.75 inches) x 2.125 inches. Peel off the liner and place the sticky side down on the back of the fabric. Trim fabric edges even with the 3D Foam Creative Sheet.

From a scrap of cardstock, cut a triangle 2.125 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide at the base. Align the triangle pattern bottom along the long side of the fabric-covered 3D Foam Creative Sheet and trace it with a pencil. Turn the triangle upside down, align it with the previous pencil line, and trace again. Repeat. This will make six trees. Cut along each pencil line. Keep scraps to cut a narrow strip for tree trunks.

Optional: To create more varied fabric designs on trees, cut two triangles vertically from the center bottom to the point. These can be mixed and put edges together to form a tree.

Fasten Tree to Tag
