Christmas tree swap

Calling Feltie Christmas tree swappers I designed these so they could fold flat in padded envelopes and they went all over the world very successfully. Anyone fancy giving this a go ?

How are they made? Are they just two pieces of felt sewn together except for at the bottom so the receiver can stuff them? How many would we be doing?

Kiddo trying to post a how to but failing! Their made of three triangles of fabric.This one is 6 inches tall and 4 inches at the base and is the largest I made. Sew along the three long sides. Leave bottom open. Embellish away.I used button stacks on mine-just cos I had lots. Make sure you can still fold along one side flat, for sending,as you work. These can also work with paper if that's you thing. I really like them in little groups of three.Three would fit perfectly in a 9x6 inch padded envelope.

Those are pretty! But I was kind of hoping for more variety of items. Like the the rule of this swap could be 'anything with a Christmas tree on it' Could be earings, ornaments, cards..etc.

OK so there is already a how to for this technique and I just added a version to explain how mine differed.Thanks to shelly b for the original.

We could add making some 6 2x2 inches + 12 regular inchies to act as card accents for Christmas cards or ormanents

Your Christmas Trees bundles would then be
3 trees
6 2x2 inchies
12 1x1 inchies
plus anything else you negotiate with your partner.

I'll keep this idea a float until mid october if anyone is interested send out will be November 5

After some feedback I'm going to suggest that this swap be moved. Sign up by end of Oct and sent out 10th November.
I know this sounds early but having trees and cards accents arrive in the new year is little fun.
