Soft Trees

Don't know how I missed this last year...............love the oatmeal coloured cone shaped one at top of the thread. I;ve got some cream suedette material -wonder if that would look ok with some cream ribbon/buttons on.

Sounds good to me. I am making a collection at the moment as I am doing a small workshop with some of the ladies at church and want to have some samples to give them a few ideas.

Just had a thought - I had some freebie fabric samples, A4 size and several of those were in a sort of oatmeal...........was thinking of doing a few to stand on our pine dresser............:j They might be better than the suedette.

Must get stuff wrapped up and sorted out before I start on those though:rotfl:

So pleased this thread is now moving I was suprised that there weren't many comments as I know how many of you like craft etc. I found some really thin tinsel today in my craft box, less than 1/4" wide so I have wrapped that round one tree and sewn it into place this tree also has tiny gold bells on it so it looks great
