All you need is numbers of rags/perchas, needles, colorful flosses, used papers, and a little dacron. Firstly, define what kind of theme you are going to put on your tree. You can make animal forms or Christmas stuffs to begin the project. Make a 2D pattern on a used paper, and cut it according to the line.
Now attach the pattern on the double folding percha, make sure it won’t move by sticking needles into it. Now cut the percha by giving 1 cm more to give stiching space. When it’s done, attach the two cut percha and stich them using side stich method and start sewing but let a few cm hole to insert some dacron, and after that, finish the stitches. Colorful perchas will look more fun, and colorful flanel would look lovely too.
