After seeing some mini quilts of hexie Christmas trees many months ago before I was even thinking of Christmas, I was inspired to go even smaller and use the idea to make Christmas cards. By using ½" hexagons, the trees are the right size to fit on to an A6 folded card blank.
These cards are an ideal project to use up scraps of fabrics
and you can soon have a small woodland of trees after just a few evenings of
stitching.
To make it easier to glue the trees to the corrugated surface of my card blank, I first stitched the tree to backing paper. The trees can be embellished with a much or as little bling as you wish – I chose to add just a star to the top of the tree.

Full details on how to make the cards, including hexagon templates,
can be found in my project section.
