I still had plastic canvas left from our previous simple sewing activity and thought that a piece of it would be perfect for a Christmas tree inspired sewing project.
To make: Cut a triangle from the plastic canvas.
Add a preschooler, relatively blunt needle, embroidery thread and sequins!
They can have fun ‘sewing’ on sequins to their hearts content to make a pretty Christmas tree all of their own! I simply reminded Immy to always come up from the back to the same side when adding the sequins (not that it really matters!) and to always pull the thread all the way through.
Add a loop of embroidery thread to hang on the tree for a very unique Christmas decoration.
