Step 1. Making pattern. Download the pattern on A4 paper. Print and cut it out.

Step 2. Copy pattern on the fabric. The pattern is for half the tree and so you have to place it on the doubled fabric (exactly on the fold) and fix with pins. Draw around the tree pattern on to the fabric using a chalk. You will need at least 1/4" extra for the seam. Cut out the doubled fabric, so you have the whole tree. Cut out other five shapes.

Step 3 . Making snow crystals. Decorate every shape with some snow crystals. Place the fabric on the mat (be careful not to work too near the edges and the middle where you have to sew). Place the mold over your fabric, then insert felting wool into the mold spaces and felt away. Look at the photos for more details.

Step 4. Sewing. Place two fabric shapes right side together, tack and then sew with small stitches except the base (the gap for stuffing). Turn the fabric right side out. Make the same step with the other shapes. At the end you have 3 double trees.

Fase 5 . Assembling trees. Lay the 3 trees to perfection. Pin together the 3 trees down the middle from the top to the base. Tack and then sew with small stitches. Now you have a whole tree divided into 6 portions.

Fase 6. Stuffing. Stuff well every portion. Use the eraser end of a pencil to push the stuffing into the points.

Fase 7. Finishing touches. Fold the edges in of the remaining seam and sew shut.

Your stuffed Christmas tree is ready!
