Christmas Tree Table Topper • Heather Handmade

Learn how to make a Christmas tree table topper with a free hexagon table topper quilt pattern. Decorate with this Christmas sewing project.

Are you looking for a fun decoration for Christmas? Look no further! Use my free hexagon table topper quilt pattern to make a Christmas tree design.

Three triangles look like decorated Christmas trees and three triangles are the negative space in between. I chose a pale gray for my negative space to look like snow, but it would also look great with red, gold, or silver.

What fabric should I use?

The best fabric to use for this project is quilting cotton. Use quilting cotton in green and white. Use white, green, and red trim, rickrack, and bias tape for all the details. Use a fun Christmas print fabric for the backing.

Should I prewash my fabric?

Since the Christmas tree table topper is quilted you should not prewash the fabric. You want the fabric to crinkle up when you wash it just like a quilt.

What is a PDF sewing pattern?

A PDF pattern is a sewing pattern designed on the computer and organized so that it can be printed on several letter or A4 size pieces of paper.

I love using PDF sewing patterns because if the pattern gets ruined or if my children or I changed sizes, I can always print it again. It’ll never be destroyed since I have a digital version!

How do you use a PDF sewing pattern?

Open the PDF on a computer and click print. When printing make sure that the scaling is set to 100% or no scaling so that the pattern prints at the correct size. Learn how to use PDF sewing patterns.
