What you need
1. Sewing Machine
2. Ribbon
3. Shirt
4. Lighter
5. Button
Step 1. Your going to cut your ribbon in different sizes. I cut my first piece 4 1/2" ...the second I cut 4"..the third 3 1/2" and so on from there going down in size by 1/2".
You will also want to cut a brown piece of ribbon for your tree trunk.
Step 2. Your going to take your lighter and carefully burn the edges of your ribbon to keep them from fraying. Not good with a lighter? Clear nail polish works just as well to seal your ribbon.
Step 3. I began to sew my button on my shirt centering it with the tag.
Step 4. Starting with the shortest ribbon and working my way down I began to sew each ribbon on my shirt. Remember you can use as many or as few ribbons as you would like to make your christmas tree. That's it! How simple was that! I hope you enjoy your new shirt!

If you don't want to use a lighter, you can run the ribbon through a candle flame. Works the same and gives you both hands to work with!
So cute and so very festive! This also looks great as a Christmas card. Thanks for sharing ;)
So great! There are 2 t-shirts I like to use for kid's embellished t's. Boys shirts: WalMart Faded Glory. Girl's shirts: Target Cherokee. I use Fray Check on ribbon ends.
