Trees, Buttons, Scraps. Happy Trees.

What to do with screen prints other than slap 'em on a t-shirt? Well, pillows and wall art are also obvious choices, but so fun.

So this is not a Bob Ross happy tree, but it sure makes me happy. I used the prints I made here and Disney's machine buttoning magic here.


 Then I fused fabric scraps together. Cut little leaves. Simple stitching to attach them to the tree.


Still some thread snipping to do. Then to make this part of a baby gift. Because the leaves are double-sided, it's okay if they curl a bit as they wear. And the fusible interfacing will keep them from fraying much. This is my other new favorite thing to work with-- since you can use it sort of as you would felt. Aaaaah, happy trees. I love you.

Pin It!
