Cut a 30-inch piece of string and tie it to a pencil to make a compass. Holding the end of the string at the top center of the fabric rectangle, and the pencil at either corner, draw an even, curved line from one side of the rectangle to the other. Repeat to make a smaller center opening, using a length of string that's about two inches longer than half the width of your tree's trunk. Cut the fabric along the lines, then unfold and cut a slit from the center opening to the outer edge. STEP 2 Cut varying lengths of 1/2- and 1/4-inch-wide felt ribbon. Affix using iron-on bonding adhesive, alternating colors and lengths in a sunburst pattern. For a more permanent hold that will last several holiday seasons, sew on the ribbons. You can also stitch or iron on precut shapes to create your own design.
