This document provides instructions for making a small fabric Christmas tree using Suffolk puffs. The instructions outline the materials needed, which include fabric, thread, sewing needle, pen, scissors, pre-cut circle templates in various sizes, beads, and ribbon, chord or thread to hang it. The instructions then detail the steps to cut out fabric circles using the templates, sew each circle using a running stitch to create puffs, thread the puffs together on a ribbon or chord with beads, and hang the finished tree.

Warning,
These are not toys, and should not be
given to children due to choking hazard

2. You will need fabric, thread, sewing needle, pen and scissors
pre-cut circle templates in various sizes ,8 seems like a good number
3 Beads and either ribbon, chord or thread to hang it up

3. This seems like a good arrangement to use fabric

4. Place templates on wrong side of fabric
(non patterned side)

5. Draw around templates

7. Cut out each circle from fabric

11. You will need a long needle and thread

12. Use strong thread or double it

13. Tie knot in end of thread, and starting on wrong side of fabric
start to sew using running stitch a little way in from the edge

14. Adjust size of stitch depending on size of circle
The bigger the circle the longer the stitch can be

17. When you are near the start,
turn the fabric so the right side is now facing you

18. Pull the thread tight and the fabric will ruff up

19. Pull both ends of the thread tight
and tie a strong knot to keep them together

20. It will look like this

21. Now straighten the fabric so it becomes a circle again

24. Do the same for all circles

26. Thread ribbon, chord or thread through a1 or 2 beads

27. Then thread through centre of all puffs ensuring ruff side will
be on the top

28. Start with largest puff, and keep adding layers

29. The smallest and final puff can be placed upside down to form
a neat top

30. Add a smaller bead to the top and form a loop to hang it
up, with a knot, also put a knot at the bottom of the 2 beads
