Tee Pee Xmas Ornament Tute

Here's a quick tute for the ornaments.1. Cut a piece of fabric that is a little over 4X as long as it is wide. For instance if its 3 inches wide make it 12.5 inches long.

2. Fold it wrong side out and sew a seem over the ends.
3. Turn right side out so your sewn part is roughly in the middle. Iron the folds at the ends. Here you can top stitch over the folds or put some fusible sizing. You do not have to do either.


4. Fold again so your ironed folds overlap slightly and the stitched part is on the outside.

5. Stitch across the bottom.


6. Make a small loop from some ribbon and pinch it into the top of the un-sewn part; forming a teepee shape. Pin into place

7. Sew along this seam.


8. Turn right side out and poke out the corners. You might want to put a little whip stitch a the top.


9. Do over and over and you’ll have a whole teepee village.
