| Free Quilled Scrolled Christmas Tree |
I am feeling very nostalgic today, and wanted to go back in time to my first Christmas blogging and share with you my Quilled Scroll Christmas Tree.... At the time I was new to blogging and wasn't sure if I should leave the patterns up and almost took it down. I have had such enjoyment sharing with you over the years. I hope you enjoy this project as much as I do!
This is one of my favorite projects of all time! I love scrolls and find that they are so versatile and quick to pull together in a pinch.
To make this lovely little Scroll Christmas Tree....
For making this tree I used 1/8 inch (.3 cm) wide strips. For this design you will need the following number of strips:
1 Heart-T-Scroll
- 1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) heart scroll
- 1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) T-scroll
 |
| Heart T-Scroll Shape |
2 Kissing scrolls (they look like a heart don't they? and shouldn't every Christmas tree have lots of love?)
- 4 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) S-scrolls - place them touching as below to make the Kissing S-Scrolls
 |
| Kissing Scroll Shape |
Remaining branches
- 6 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) S-scrolls
- 6 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) double scroll with tail
 |
| Double Scroll with Tail Shape |
Topper
- 1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) red diamond
Trunk
- 1 - 3 inch (7.62 cm) red S-scroll
To put this tree together, I recommend the following:
- Place the Heart-T-Scroll down first
- Line up your 2 kissing scrolls next
- To keep a straight line, it may be best to work over a piece of wax paper with graph paper underneath. Then you can use the straight lines to make sure your tree is straight.
- S-scroll, pointing down
- Double scroll, pointing up
- S-scroll, pointing down
- Double scroll, pointing up
- Double scroll, pointing down
- S-scroll, pointing down
See the picture for placement. You can then adorn the tree as in this example with pearls.
