How to Make Sewn Christmas Tree Napkins
Here are the supplies you will need to make 4 napkins.
Here is What You Need:
- 2 coordinating half yards of fabric
- coordinating thread
- sewing machine
- scissors
- bowl or lid for template
Step By Step Instructions
Take your two half yards of fabric and keep them folded together and layer them on top of one another.
Step One: Cut out a large circle through the four layers of fabric. I used a large pyrex lid as a guide, but they need to be approximately 18″ in diameter.
Step Two: Fold the four pieces of fabric in half and cut down the center creating eight half circles.
Step Three: Match the eight half circles with another half circle of a different fabric. Place them right sides together and pin.
Step Four: Sew almost all the way around the half circles, pivoting at the corners and leaving about a 1.5″ opening for turning.
Step Five: Clip the corners, turn right side out, and press.
Step Six: Fold

Hello Sladjana, as you can see from the pictures we used a half circle to make the tree. I am sure there are many possibilities for creating different shaped trees
I m sorry to say this is not the right pattern for folding this shape- it s not the half circle you can fold like this, it is half circle a little bit extended in the lower part…
