This crochet Christmas Tree Ornament Applique is my new pattern for the Christmas Applique Collection.
I initially made the Christmas Tree Applique for one of my Christmas Granny Squares, and this year, I’m bringing it back to make one of my DIY Christmas cards.
But these fir tree appliques are so cute that I’ll definitely use them as Christmas ornaments or gift tags as well!
