Disclaimer: We have a small studio apartment and making a tree that stands on the ground is not exactly possible. And so I made a DIY tiny tree to match our tiny apartment.
To make this DIY rosette Christmas tree, you will need:
*matches (I apologize for the typo)
Tutorial:
I know, I know, it doesn’t look much from the photos but this DIY Christmas tree is pretty in person. I’d invite all of you to my place if I could to check it out. This tree can make you smile, really.
see? tiny!
Notes:
1. Be careful touching the singed edge of your rosettes. Unless you’re Bobby Flay, the singed satin will hurt your pretty little fingers. (Segue: wouldn’t it be cool to watch a craft-related show with Bobby Flay, though?)
2. Use different colored rosettes!
3. A scented candle is ideal for this project. Inhaling fabric fumes is no fun, trust me.

Girl, you are SOOOOOO creative!!! I love that! It’s absolutely beautiful! That would actually make beautiful centre pieces for a wedding! I may just have to consider that for mine…. it could be made in different shapes right? Instead of a cone? Like say… a ball? But then… if the satin is light colored, would it appear burnt? so many questions! hahaha!
Dec 03, 2010 @ 15:15:29
How cute is that?! You are freakin’ creative, Meream! (*bowing*) LOL
You and your works are great inspirations to me.
Keep up the good work!☺
Dec 04, 2010 @ 14:02:47
the tree is cool, cute and pretty. it’s unique too.
Dec 17, 2010 @ 19:48:56
I LOVE this! I’ve made a few things with the singed petals on flowers and just love that look. I hope I have time to make it this holiday season! Thanks for sharing. It looks beautiful!
Dec 18, 2010 @ 07:39:14
Ohhh I looove this!!! I am bookmarking – I want to make a few for gifts next year!
Dec 28, 2010 @ 00:52:20
How fantastic! I love how this looks – so beautiful.
I thought it was a styrofoam cone with the satin circles pinned in place with gold balled sewing pins. I would say that might make the process go a little faster.. :)

Your tree is beautiful. I like that you used construction paper and sewed beads in the center. Love this.
