Tutorial on Sewing a Christmas Tree Pillow

Materials Needed for a DIY Christmas Tree Pillow

– An inexpensive pillow cover (I recommend one from Ikea or you can find a similar one on Amazon)

– Fabric scraps

– Pom pom piping

– Heat n Bond

– Iron

– Paper pattern for the Christmas tree

– Glue gun & glue sticks

Construct a paper template for your Christmas tree

To construct a paper template for your Christmas tree, determine the desired width and height. For instance, my tree measures 5.5 inches wide and 9 1/4 inches tall. Take a rectangular piece of scrap paper with matching dimensions. Fold the paper in half, and make a cut from the top of the fold to the bottom edge. Unfold the paper, and voila – a tree is ready!

Determine the dimensions and form of your tree pillow

Utilize your template as a reference

Utilize your template as a reference to accurately cut out a front piece of fabric and a back piece of sherpa. If you’re creating two plaid pillows, remember to cut out each of the front pieces individually to guarantee an identical pattern.

Position the fabric with the wrong side facing up. Place the template on it, secure with pins, and trace the tree shape onto the fabric

Position the fabric with the wrong side facing up. Place the template on top and secure it with pins. Carefully trace the shape of the tree onto the fabric, ensuring accurate alignment.

Employ scissors to cut around all the rounded edges and make incisions into the corners

Employ scissors to cut around all the rounded edges and make incisions on the corners of the tree meticulously. By doing so, it guarantees that when the tree is turned right side out, every corner and curve will lay flat, resulting in a pristine appearance.

Fill The Pillow

Fill your pillow with fiber-fil to achieve the desired level of firmness.

Seal The Pillow

Seal the pillow by folding the unfinished edges at the gap underneath and firmly securing it with pins.
