How to Make a Layered Christmas Tree Ornament

Step 1:

Fuse the fusible webbing to the wrong side of the fabric squares. From your top layer square fabric, cut a 4″ diameter circle. From your middle layer square fabric, cut a 5″ diameter circle. Lastly, from the bottom layer square fabric, cut a 6″ diameter circle.

Step 2:

Remove the paper from the back of the fabric. Fold the circle in half, making sure to align the raw edges. Press it to fuse to form a semi-circle.

Step 2:

Fold the straight edges towards the middle, then keep them in place using pins.

Step 3:

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other layers.

Step 4:

Starting from the bottom piece, stack them in layers, tucking the point inside the layer above, about 1″ apart. Pin them in place.

Step 5:

Cut a 5″ elastic. Fold your elastic into a loop, and tuck ends inside the folds of the top layer. Pin it to secure.

Step 6:

Starting from the bottom, sew the center of the ornament using a zig zag stitch or decorative stitch. Make sure to secure the hanging loop well.
