2. Fold into a Triangle
Fold the top corner of the square down to the opposite corner so the fabric forms a triangle, right sides together.

5. Form the Cone
Bring the two long sides of the triangle together to create a cone shape. Hand stitch down the back seam to secure the cone.

6. Add Decorations
This is the fun part! Add trim, ric-rac, buttons, jingle bells, or any embellishments you like. Use fabric glue or hand stitching to attach your decorations.

7. Attach a Hanger
Glue or sew a ribbon loop to the back or sides of the cone so it can hang from the tree.
