1. Christmas Tree Garland
First up we have this cute Christmas tree garland. The trees have been made from felt in a cool color palette. All you need to do is cut out tree shapes in different colored felts and put them onto a string. You could glue or sew the trees. We love the colors used because they are wintry, but you could go for something more festive like red.
