How to make
If you are adding stars to your cushion, print a selection of stars from the PDF template provided above, and cut them out.
Draw around the stars on the paper side of the Heat ‘N’ Seal and iron onto the wrong side of the contrast fabric according to the instructions on the pack.
Cut out the fabric stars and arrange them on one side of the tree. Remove the paper backing and iron into place.
Allow the fabric to cool before sewing.
Make sure to leave a 10cm gap along the bottom of the tree for stuffing.
Turn the tree to the right side ensuring all the points are fully pushed out, and press.
Stuff with Toy Filling, making sure to get into all the points of the tree.
For the small tree, cut two copies of the small tree template from your fabric.
With right sides together, sew around the edge of the tree using a 1cm seam allowance, making sure to leave a 10cm gap along the bottom for stuffing.
Turn the tree out to the right side and stuff with toy filling.
