Instructions
1. Enlarge pattern 200% and make duplicate copy. Place
full-size pattern on foam sheet. Use ruler and sharp pencil to
draw over pattern lines, making slight depressions in foam.

2. Cut apart duplicate pattern into separate patterns for
trees, trunks, snow background, and borders.

3. Using photo as color and placement guide, cut out fabric
pieces, adding 1/4" all around for tucking. For added visual
interest, cut some tree pieces on an angle. For border pieces,
cut strips 3-1/4" wide so they will wrap to back.

4. Beginning at center and working out, attach fabric to foam
as follows: center one fabric piece on top of corresponding
foam area; position putty knife on scored pattern line; push
1/4"-wide "seam allowance" into foam. Note: For clean edge,
hold knife at 90 angle to foam.

5. If excess fabric sticks out above foam, and does not
disappear when second fabric piece is pushed in along same
line, trim excess fabric. Repeat to cover entire area inside borders.

6. To cover borders, push in 1/4" of border fabric along
inside edge; wrap excess to back. Glue and pin fabric at back
of foam so it is smooth. Fold and pin corner pieces flat at
back, like making hospital corners on a bed.

7. For back, cut 9" x 17-3/4" rectangle from fabric of choice;
glue to back of wall hanging.

8. Glue and pin ends of red ribbon to top back corners for hanger.

9. Cut gold cord into three equal lengths. Tie each length
into small bow; glue to treetops.
