Fun Sewn Christmas Tree Ornaments - Art Class Project

We made the cutest little Christmas tree ornaments in this week's class. I used a non-traditional fabric to make them a little more funky.

Many of the girls had never sewn before so it was quite a challenge.  They did a really great job and I will definitely do a sewing project again.  So fun!

  1. Tried this with a class of 23 8-10 year olds (two thirds of whom were boys) and it worked really well! There are now a lot of sewing fans in my class :) We used pinking shears to stop the edges from fraying and stuck on shiny stars rather than buttons (to keep things simple!). Thank you for the great idea!
