Happy Creating Vintage Chicks...VQ

Ruffled Christmas Tree





1. supplies: paper mache cones {i used 10.5″, 17″ & 23″ cones}, 1/3 yard of fabric for each cone, scissors, rotary {optional}, ruffler foot {optional} and hot glue gun
2. cut fabric into 1″x45″ strips. for the small cone- i used 4 strips, for the medium cone- i used 7 strips, and for the large cone- i used 10 strips of fabric.
3. sew the ends of the strips together to create one long strip of 1″ wide fabric.
4. use a ruffler foot to sew down the center of the fabric strip and create pleats or ruffles. i set my ruffler foot to create a pleat every 6 stitches. 
{NOTE: you do NOT need a ruffler foot! it does make this craft a lot quicker, but you can easily sew a gathering stitch and gather the fabric by hand. to sew a gathering stitch, set your stitch length to the longest setting and then do not back stitch when you sew your seam. when you are done, pull one thread and gather your fabric to create ruffles}
5. pretty picture of the long strip of ruffled fabric :)
6. starting at the base of you cone, hot glue your ruffles around the cone, overlapping slightly to cover the top edge of the fabric.
7. when you get to the tip of the cone, snip off the excess fabric.
8. and now you have a cute little ruffle tree to decorate with!
