Ive made loads of these trees and I have a suggestion. When doing the bottom, brush it with plain white glue first. It makes the base really sturdy and almost hides the raw edges , as well as keeping them from fraying.

Love your videos! Just a few suggestions! (1) You keep mentioning "sizing" in your videos, but you don't tell us how to do it and what you mean. (2) When you were covering the bottom of the tree, I know you were were promoting sales for the green fabric, but it would have been LOADS simpler to use one piece of round fabric.

@ShabbyFabrics

7 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for your questions and comments! (1) Sizing is a fabric spray similar to starch that we prefer since it will not distort the fabrics or flake. Our favorite brand is Mary Ellen's Best Press: www.amazon.com/Mary-Ellens-Starch-Alternative-Ounces-Scent/dp/B0018N8B0E/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1476992093&sr=8-5&keywords=best+press (2) Thank you so much for pointing that out, we were just giving that option since someone who gets the green strip fabric from us would be able to use our method but if you use fabric from your stash, you can absolutely use a circle on the bottom of the tree :)

We used 6 inch trees in this video! If you use a larger tree, you can use the same size squares, just add more of them.

Aren't they so much fun? You can absolutely make your own stars. Just trace out the shape on some freezer paper and use that as your template to cut out your fabric and Heat N Bond Lite. Then iron your fabric to the Heat N Bond. You'll be able to use whatever fabrics you prefer, and then you would just adhere the two stars together with the pin in the middle like Jen shows in the video. Let me know if that makes sense. ;) - Morgan

I find the 2.5" square makes the prettiest tree, ornaments, etc. Unless you are upsizing by quite a large scale. Then if you don't increase your square, you really will use a lot more fabric and pins.
