Granny Square Christmas
The Christmas Tree Ornament is a super fun And
easy project. It is basically a granny square we
fold into a triangle. The size of the tree
is determined by the Size of The Square you
stitch up. The Bigger the square
the bigger the Christmas Tree.
I made mine 5 x 7 Inches. The perfect size for an
ornament, or display decoration, like a
bunting or centerpiece.
Gather up beads, buttons, gems, flatbacks,
ribbons and bows, and don't forget stars.
You can even add some fun eyes and a face.
I used a popsicle stick for the tree trunk.
Some other options are cinnamon sticks,
small sticks from your yard, or crochet a stem.
It's a great yarn stash busting project because any
medium (4) weight yarn will work. Mix and match
your colors for fun variations, like Sparkle,
Ombre, or use traditional yarn colors.
I made mine is 4 different styles and colors.
It is such a fun project.
Decorate the Tree, put them in a basket on the table,
or make a bunting for the door way or mantle.
They will make great gift tags or
Use them as place markers. Let your
Holiday guests take one home. So many fun
ways to decorate with them also.
How about a decorating party. Stitch up a bunch
of trees from your yarn stash. Everyone chose one
and decorate it. How fun is that!
