April ornament reveal! Fabric tree with blanket stitch, bells and beading!

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to share my latest creation with you all – the April ornament for my 12 Months of Christmas advent calendar! This month, I’ve crafted a charming fabric tree, and I can’t wait to show you all the details.

A Festive Fabric Tree

This ornament is a little different from my previous projects. I wanted to create something that really captured the spirit of Christmas, even though it’s April. The base of the ornament is a fabric tree, carefully stitched to give it a lovely texture.

Delicate Details

What makes this ornament truly special are the delicate embellishments. I’ve added beautiful blanket stitching around the edges of the tree, giving it a handmade, cozy feel. And of course, no Christmas ornament is complete without a little sparkle! I’ve included tiny, delicate bells that jingle softly and sparkling beads that catch the light. These details add a touch of magic and festivity to the piece.

Part of a Year-Long Celebration

This fabric tree is just one part of my ongoing 12 Months of Christmas project. The idea is to keep the Christmas spirit alive throughout the year by creating a new, unique ornament each month. It’s a fun way to stay creative and have a little bit of Christmas joy, no matter the season. I envision this festive piece adding to my unique 12 Months of Christmas advent calendar.

Get Inspired!

I hope this project inspires you to get creative and maybe even start your own year-round Christmas crafting! Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, there’s always something new to learn and create. Keep the Christmas spirit alive all year round with creative projects!
