Make Mine Buffalo Plaid

Here is another tree ornament just like the Jute ornament, only using fabric strips! I am thinking about adding a ribbon bow on the top of the tree.

The supplies are: foam tree (from Hobby Lobby), one strip of fabric that is about 1" in width and 30" in length. I tore it so it would have the rustic look. You will need a glue gun and I used jute for a hang loop on the top.

I started at the bottom on this ornament. Glue a strip on the bottom, then cut as you go, layering the next strip above and keep going up. Just before I put the top layer on I cut a small square and put it on the tip then layered the last strip. Is this clear as mud?

I think the fabric can really be a great way to go to use the color theme you choose. And adding bows on top would really be cute! Let me see what you do with this project!!!

BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find. Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29. The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00. So looks like I spent under 3.00! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...
