Christmas Cone Wall Hanging
Embroider the design so the top
edge of the design is 4 1/2" from
the edge top edge, and centered
between the sides.
Use one piece of medium-weight
(2.5 ounce) cutaway stabilizer
when embroidering on the fabric.
Form the embroidered fabric into
a cone. The fabric should overlap
with about 6" of excess on either
side of the center of the back.
Pin in place.
On the front of the cone,
measure and mark up about 2"
from the top edge of the design. Draw a line connecting the mark
you just made to the center of the
back along both sides.
Trim the fabric at the top of the
cone by cutting along the lines
you just drew. The front edge will
slope up slightly.

Christmas Cone Wall Hanging
Mark the fabric on both layers at
the center back at the top edge
and at the bottom point of the
cone.
Remove the pins and draw lines
connecting the marks.
Trim the fabric about 1" out from
each of the lines, removing the
excess fabric from each side.
This leaves about one inch of
seam allowance which is
necessary for gluing later on.
To prepare the inner lining, cut a
piece of tag board or poster
board to 17 1/2" x 13 1/2".
Spray the board with permanent
adhesive and smooth the inner
lining fabric on top.

Christmas Cone Wall Hanging
Flip the board over to the wrong
side (board side facing up).
Spray it with permanent
adhesive, and smooth the outer
shell fabric on top.
Cut out the shape along the outer
edges of the outer shell.
To add the trim to the brim, wrap
the quilt binding bias tape around
the top edge of the shape. Pin only the backside of the tape
in place (the tape lying directly on
the inner lining).
Move the opposite side of the
tape (the tape lying on the outer
shell) up out of the way and sew
a 1/2" seam along the outer edge
of the tape.

Christmas Cone Wall Hanging
Fold the tape around the top
edge. Pin in place.
Sew a 1/8" seam along the outer
edge of the tape along the outer
shell side of the shape.
Lay the shape flat and glue or
sew the decorative trim in place.
In this example, the trim is sewn
along the bottom edge of the bias
tape.
Form the shape into a cone once
again with 1" of excess extending
out on both sides of the center
back.
Hot glue the cone shape together
at the center back along the
entire seam.
Measure and mark out about 3"
from the center back seam along
both sides and then pinch and
fold the fabric at each mark to
flatten out the back.

Christmas Cone Wall Hanging
Add additional embellishments if
desired.
In this example, decorative cord
is wrapped around the bottom of
the cone, then glued in place with
fabric glue.
To create the hangers, hand-sew
small metal or plastic rings at
each back corner.
Fill this Christmas cone with
treats, festive foliage, ornaments,
and more for a ho-ho-holiday
look in your home.
