When you pull out the sequins, glitter glue, and ribbon for a craft project that you intended to be all felt, you know you've gone overboard!
So here it is, my version of the extremely popular felt Christmas tree for Toddlers and Pre-schoolers.
Go here for detailed instructions:
The felt-by-the-yard was on sale at JoAnn for $2.99/yard. With one yard, I had plenty left to make a second tree. The ornaments are made of the felt sheets which are often on sale for 5/$1. I pulled out some glitter glue, ribbon and sequins that I already had on hand and glued to the ornaments to spruce them up a bit. Spruce... haha. The glitter glue came from the Dollar Tree and the ribbon from the Target dollar bins.
One of the presents was made with scrap bias tape:
I also outlined the star with glitter glue, but I didn't get a picture of that. So there you have it, a pretty inexpensive tree for your toddlers and pre-schoolers.
