No kit? No problem. Making a Wooly Pine Tree from a 2015 video tutorial.

I watched the Wooly Pine Tree tutorial on Sarafina Fiber Art’s YouTube channel several years ago. While I wanted to make one, you need the kit for the full instructions. I looked for the kits for a couple of years, but they seem to no longer be available. I decided this was the year I’d figure out how to make this stunning tree. Here’s what I did.

In this video, I share how I made my tree. But you’ll also need to watch the original tutorial video to complete a tree of your own. It’s worth it because it’s a clever and beautiful project!

My finished tree is 21″ tall (including the base) and 14″ wide. Once I figured what to do, I was able to complete the tree in about 4 hours. I made the branches while watching old episodes of Project Runway one evening and put the tree together the next.

Here are the rows and measurements I ended up using:

10 rows plus the tree top for a total of 38 branches
Tree top = 1 wire @ 4 1/4”
Row 1 = 3 wires @ 3 3/4”
Rows 2 & 3 = 3 wires @ 4 1/4” (6 total wires)
Row 4 & 5 = 3 wires @ 4 3/4” (6 total wires)
Row 6 & 7 = 4 wires @ 5 1/4” (8 total wires)
Row 8 = 4 wires @ 5 3/4”
Row 9 = 5 wires @ 6 1/4”
Row 10 = 5 wires @ 6 3/4”

Wool Fabric 1 Fat Quarter of mill dyed wool in “Evergreen”
Note: I only had about a three inch strip of fringe leftover. I wrapped my longest branches first so I knew I had them covered. That also allowed me to use the leftover bits from those on the shorter branches.

18g green cloth wrapped wire, 18” long
Brown Florist Tape
Brown fabric scrap
3” Birch Pillar for base

Small handsaw to cut dowel
Stanley Classic Utility Knife to carve point at one end of dowel
Sandpaper scrap to smooth out the carved point and the end of the dowel
