  Step 1

  Using a template, trace
  the tree motif onto the piece of paper
  with the pencil. Cut out the tree
  template, pin it to the gingham fabric,
  and cut out the tree shape with the
  scissors. (Fold the fabric in half so that
  you can cut out two layers at a time.)

• 

  Step 2

  Lay the ribbon trim along the bottom
  straight edge of the tree on one layer
  of the fabric, about 3⁄4in (2cm) from the
  edge, and stitch into position. You can
  either sew the ribbon to the fabric by
  hand or use the sewing machine.

• 

  Step 3

  With right sides facing stitch the tree
  shapes together using the sewing
  machine. Leave an opening of around
  3in (8cm) on the bottom straight edge of
  the fabric to insert the filling. Trim and
  notch the corners of the fabric and turn
  to the right side. Cut a length of ribbon,
  measuring 4in (10cm), fold it in half, and
  stitch it to the top of the tree to form the
  hanging loop.

  Step 4

  Insert the stuffing into the bottom of
  the tree shape. Use a pencil or knitting
  needle to push the stuffing inside the
  decoration. Stitch the opening closed
  by hand to finish.
