…I didn’t want to wait til next Christmas to do these. 🙂 I saw these soft trees first at The Sparrow’s Nest and was referred to little birds handmade for the free pattern. The blogger at little birds handmade (whose name I am afraid I don’t know) set up a Flickr group for soft trees that is really fun to look through. My, there are some wonderfully creative people out there!!!

I just wasn’t able to get to these during the Christmas season or right after, but finally did them today.

The little plaid fabric was a 43¢ remnant, and the soft green was $1 per yard.

They are addictive! I am imagining all types of fabrics and trims! I may have a whole forest by next December. 🙂 After Christmas I found some pretty Christmas plaids at Wal-Mart for $1 a yard that would look nice.

I could even keep these out now, don’t you think? 😀

(Updated to add — this is a post from January, but I wanted to link it to Gibee’s Homemade With Love 2007 carnival. I do want to make some distinctively Christmasy ones and have them cut out but not made yet.)
