Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Embroidery hoop and fabric Christmas tree

by

I am always on the lookout for ways to use my Christmas fabric stash. I have started a Christmas quilt but I’m sad to say it doesn’t make it up to the top of the list to work on much. But this project is so fast and easy it could be just the one to make with a few embroidery hoops and your Christmas fabric stash.

Simply pop in a different fabric into a variety of sizes of embroidery hoops and hot glue them together.

Like I said- easy-peasy! Oh and in case you are wondering that triangle Christmas tree is made from a recycled wool felted sweater and a handmade pompom. Again super easy!!!

Merry crafty Christmas all you recycled crafters!!!

  1. Hi. Great project! I also love the pillow with the pom pom topper shown in the photo, on the chair. Do you offer a tutorial about that pillow?
