Felt Christmas Tree Christmas Craft

These little felt Christmas tree shaped ornaments are so pretty and make an excellent DIY Christmas ornament to add to your tree.

It’s also a cute craft for adults to make too. Create a few for your own tree and to give as presents.

Since they do not require any sewing, these felt Christmas trees are perfect for kids to make at home. They don’t require a lot of prep work either. 

Younger children may need more assistance with cutting out the felt pieces. You can also precut the shapes ahead of time.

The most fun will be seeing how they decorate their little trees.

Older kids should be able to complete this project with minimal assistance. It’s a good opportunity to practice tracing, cutting and gluing the felt, and using a ruler to measure and cut the ribbon. 

If decorating with preschoolers and kindergartners, you can have them “paint” with the glitter glue using a cotton swab. 

The kids can also dip a q-tip into a small paint tray to dab dots onto the trees to create lights. Sequins and pom poms can also be used to decorate the tree ornaments.

Decorate only one side or both sides to create a two-sided ornament. Or, create a keepsake ornament by adding their name and date to the back of the finished Christmas tree ornament with a permanent marker.

The finished ornaments are lightweight and can easily be added into a holiday card for the perfect surprise for friends and family this holiday season.

Make these along with the felt snowman ornaments for an adorable set!

How to Make Felt Christmas Tree Ornaments:

First, print and cut the Christmas Tree Ornament template. These will be used to trace the shapes onto the felt.

Trace and cut out two yellow stars, two green triangles, and one brown rectangle for each ornament you are making.

Printable templated being used to trace triangles on green felt, rectangles on brown felt, and stars on yellow felt.

I recommend using an air soluble disappearing ink for tracing on felt. Washable markers also work for tracing. Just be sure to have the trace lines turned inside before gluing.

Cut six inch lengths of ribbon for as many ornaments as you are making.

Apply a thin layer of the tacky glue for felt on one side of the green triangle.

Place the brown rectangle at the bottom of the triangle for the tree stump.

Attach a 6 inch loop of ribbon to the top point of the tree shape, then place the second triangle shape over the first, lining up the edges.

Next, glue a star to each side of the top point of the tree.

Add glitter glue designs, such as angled lines, squiggly lines, and dots. You can also add small buttons, pom poms or sequins with the tacky glue.

Allow plenty of drying time before hanging the ornaments.
